+Charles May I will consider it it may take me quite some time as I have a lot of other videos planned out currently at this moment. But it's something that I wouldn't mind doing for sure :-) thanks for the great ideal God bless you
What's your take on DF in the shop's video about how removing the scale of the steel when it's hot does nothing because more scale just forms right back in it's place so all your doing is wasting your heat?
+BTB Presents my thoughts on that is that Dennis is absolutely correct on a few of his points. The scale forms from oxidization so as soon as you remove the oxidization from the heated Steel the top just oxidizes all over again. There is a specific temperature at which the steel no longer though oxidizes in at that temperature a wire brush is completely necessary if you want to obtain a nice clean finish. He did not go over this in his video but I don't believe it was the subject matter at hand or his point that he was trying to point out. Those are just my thoughts thanks for the question God bless

Christ Centered Ironworks so you agree that wire brushing your steel right when you take it out of the fire is pointless? It's just confusing because literally ever forging video on UA-cam they do that
+BTB Presents yes for the most part. If you see me do this in my videos the reason why I will do it is if I have something that is stuck to it that I don't want to pound into the surface material pieces of coal some sort of grit or something like that from the forge that is about the only time that I brush to clean up the material. Most of the time this isn't a coal Forge especially if I'm working in a green fire.
Ok, this is something I've been curious about. I have not been wire brushing at all on my small projects because every time I hit all the oxidization comes off. Next hit there's less but, I'm just working on tapers and small time stuff still. I'm not wire brushing until the very end pretty much. I use a propane forge so, there's no klinkers. My confusion is why you see you tubers wire brushing like crazy then pounding away when the oxidization just reforms. I've zero training and new to forging. Rural Alaskan, with not much option for training ATM so, using UA-cam as the instructor as best I can.
Is the blade end slightly curved to help in scraping or just an artifact of manufacture? I think it's a useful little tool, and dead simple to make. I will have to try making one at some point.
Ah, this was what you were talking about when I asked about the scale brush! Awesome!
Simple tool! I like knowing the history behind the tools and the craft.
Thanks for the video...
That worked better than I expected, may have to give it a try.
Thank you Roy for showing us this
Nice simple tool ! Has its purpose ! Good Info !
Thanks for the Knowledge !
thats a nice quick and easy tool to make thank you for sharing
I like how you do your videos in real time! I am a landscaper that does a bit of fencing as well, will you consider doing a video of

I will have to make one of these. Thanks for the video
Definitely, think I can pull this one off. Thanks for the video, I'll let you know how it goes.
+Steve Olan definitely do that thanks!
Going to have to make one and try this out. Thanks for the video
I like that a lot. It works better then my wire brush. This might be a priority of what to make before anything else.

What would you use on a twist? Or would you just bang it off on the anvil?

Mate thank you
I'd love to see how to make a butcher brush but this is a very easy home made alternative
Where did you get those tongs?
+Gerald Kopp I make all my own tongs. Will probably do a video in the future on them thanks for watching
a simple garden gate?
Next project.
