I like that you always share your knowledge, especially about safety, some people just don't know, glad you're looking out for your pupils, me included, thank you,
The legacy you are leaving is profound. The way you show the whole project is incredible. Oh if i would have had a class in high school like this i would have been hooked young. Amazingly fun! THANKS!
I love this idea. Great demonstration of what actually happens when you dunk hot pipe in water. We use the same concept for cleaning out valve boxes six foot deep with a piece of pipe and compressed air. It launches all the dirt and rocks out of the pipe
Perfect timing again. I watched the old candle stick video last night and was planing to make one or two today or tomorrow. Thx for the inspiration again my friend ....Paul.
Nice , I have a saddle's that go over the screw on my vices Brass, Alum, Steel and a block of oak with L angles screwed on it. I have drilled holes in the block to hold stuff steady etc might work for the next time to hold the tire iron piece. Or really and other round piece you wish to hold in place.
220cm candlestick.😂😜😝🤣 I recon you should give up on metric conversions John. It’s ok 👍, 😀 really you don’t need to. ...and maybe you shouldnt🤣😜. I think you said something which was 2in wide as 5mm the other day as well instead of 5cm, or 50mm You’ve helped me see the pros of the imperial system especially in blacksmithing. I can now convert on the fly.
Another great video sir. Thank you. I appreciate you trying to be all inclusive with SAE and Metric measuring but maybe just stay true to you and let the others figure it out. They do make dual function rules and tapes everyday.
I’ve watched the video where you fabricate your adjustable fullering jig and I’ve also seen many videos since where you use the jig. Is it fair to say you’re satisfied with its construction? Any changes you’d make to it?
What a great show. If one were to want to do a scroll with a chisel, how would you do that? If you did it before forming, say the ball area, would it end up distorted once you expanded that area? I also take your advice of safety glasses very serious however I have run into a issue. I use the uvex wrap around glasses that have the replaceable lens. I find when I grind, and with the masks I use, particles still seem to find a way inside the glasses. Do you have a suggestion besides goggles, which fog up really bad with the mask I use, which are better for grinding use and or if maybe a way to lower the risk of getting anything in your eyes? I have tried altering the direction of my grinding however it still seems at times I have to rinse my eyes. Thanks in advance for any advice. As always sir, I enjoy your content and you as a person. Well done 👍🏼
I love that candle stick, it turned out really nice. On a huge subject change, during that video there were some shots of the base of your new power hammer amd I was wondering what the chain, on the right-hand side amd attached to the foot controle, was for. Also, it's a brand new machine and it's already covered in dirt..😱... how can you do that?!?!?!? It needs cleaning regularly 😋
The treadle does not connect directly to any controls in the hammer. The chain is the linkage that connects to the internal valving. Dirt is the inevitable result of actually working I'm afraid.
@@BlackBearForge yeah I seen at the end of video when u said 3/4 black pipe thanks for the response keep up the good forging videos its helped me so much thanks
ok now how about making a stem for a smoking pipe ;} heh you did say you were from colorado right ;} nuck nunk nuck heh also big the smithing magician from that angle looks like a telagraph key before the spring fuller big john heh
I like watching how you correct your mistakes
awesome and great safety tip. Great work thanks for sharing
Glad it was helpful!

I appreciate that
I'm not sure how I missed this one. But I'm happy I found it. Good job mate 👍
Thanks 👍
Your videos wonderful, clear way to learn the art of forging!
Love to watch I think I should have been a Blacksmith thank for what you do 😊
Thanks
Beautiful piece of workmanship
The legacy you are leaving is profound. The way you show the whole project is incredible. Oh if i would have had a class in high school like this i would have been hooked young. Amazingly fun! THANKS!
You make everything you do look so easy. When I try them, it takes me forever just to fail many times.
but it takes years and years of practice to make it look easy...
The blacksmiths have a saying, “the difference between the master and the novice is the thousands of failures experienced by the master.”
I really appreciate the attention to safety with regard to the potential for steam burns. Very good advice!
I learned the pipe quench problem when i was a teenager. Never even crossed my mind. It was mostly steam burn but not to fun.
I love this idea. Great demonstration of what actually happens when you dunk hot pipe in water. We use the same concept for cleaning out valve boxes six foot deep with a piece of pipe and compressed air. It launches all the dirt and rocks out of the pipe
Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
Your creativity is simply amazing John and you have a great imagination. Man after my own heart
I really love that candle stick. Thanks for showing.
Oooh! Some time-lapse action. Love to see more.
I think there will be a bit in tomorrow mornings video on some cabinet knobs
Nice...but my to do list grows
I hope to do this later
Thanks you Sir
That turned out really nice. Good safety warning on the steam too.
I just found a new way to make tea at the forge... too bad I'm a coffee drinker,
Wow really cool project, I want to try this now.
I'm thinking of participating in my first craft/farm and home show in February, your videos this video series is inspiring.
Great project. The wife would like it for sure!
Perfect timing again. I watched the old candle stick video last night and was planing to make one or two today or tomorrow. Thx for the inspiration again my friend ....Paul.
Looks great! I like it . Would like to try one with some kind of carrying handle.
The previous version shows a simple handle

thank you
Nice work
Nice job! Already have an idea to make it mine. On my list for gifts.
Thanks for taking the time to respond. Have a great day.
Good project John, nice candle holders.
Nice work.
Very informative, thank you Sir.
That looks awesome!
Thanks
So very cool!
Another great video, thanks!
@25:15 I wanted to holler out 'soft jaws, John!'
Perfect project
Thanks John.

You could have used that little flair from the vise to make it look like a pitcher plant. 0.0 ohh I should try that
Would be cool when you have to most heat in the ball part, cap both ends and blow air in it with the compressor.
Can that spring fuller be shimmed, or do you want the movement?
It can be shimmed if movement bothers you.
Poet John and he didn't even know it
I love that candle stick, it turned out really nice. On a huge subject change, during that video there were some shots of the base of your new power hammer amd I was wondering what the chain, on the right-hand side amd attached to the foot controle, was for.

That is to win in the hand control to the foot control so that the hammer works with your foot.
The treadle does not connect directly to any controls in the hammer. The chain is the linkage that connects to the internal valving. Dirt is the inevitable result of actually working I'm afraid.
Morning John, what is the weight of the hammer you are using in this video?
Its about 3 pounds
John: How do I search on your site for specific videos..? thanks, Eric
You can use the search bar near the top of the page type in Black bear Forge then the topic you're searching for.
Do you still need more round ones..
Not really, its not something I do often these days.
How does one put it in the advent calender?
Is that copper I couldn't tell
Steel, I don't do any copper work

Where do you get your black pipe from?
Steel suppliers or most places that sell plumbing supplies.
So...228 cm ay... that wouldn't be 228 mm would it... cause that thing aint 2 meters tall... :)
