Absolutely fantastic video! I can appreciate someone that isn't afraid to leave mistakes in the final video and as usual, your voice is quite relaxing to listen to. Can't wait to see the end result!
One mans junk eh. That wrought iron looked fit for the scrapper. Then along comes an real Pro of a Blacksmith and makes something that'll last hundreds of years from it. Absolutely fabulous.
No Worries and thank you :) Was it your comment I answered on the original video? If my laptop doesn't have enough memory clear then it does funny things when rendering the videos, so I had to shift 20GB of photos and videos to my portable hard-drive just to get it to render properly, lol.
Really nice. wouldn't of thought to twist it all in one bar, would there be any visual difference if it were forge welded together as three individual twists?
Do you use a standard wire brush? I saw a video on UA-cam here that suggested done kind of horse brush that used small flat springs rather than wire bristles. What are your thoughts on this?
Hey, great video as always. One question: what camera do you use in your workshop to film this? For my GoPro there isn't enough light to give a good quality, my old camera died because of the dust and dirt in my forge and i don't want to cill my SLR- Camera by using it in the dirtiest place of the world. How does your camera survive this and gives such a good video quality by the way? Greetings from Germany, Edgar
Nice work!

Very nice production and sound leveling as always!I love that we can hear all the clunks in the background!!!
Thanks.
ddmeltzer8 Thanks mate :) Glad you enjoy it, makes the effort worthwhile.
Outstanding project! It is really turning out well!
I'm really enjoying watching you forge this out. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Quite looking forwards to it myself. The drawing is a thing of beauty!
Rowan Taylor love the videos keep up the great work :-)
Christ Centered Ironworks Thanks mate, means a lot :)
I was nervous when the first video was removed, but I was waiting for the re upload, and here it is. :)
Matthew Millar haha, yes! sound problems on the first so pulled it and re-uploaded!
Again, very nice.
I always watch all of your videos with a great deal of interest, keep making em and doing what you do! double thumbs up!
Remy - Thanks a lot mate :) it is nice to hear that!
Senpei noticed me!!!
Remy - I notice all things!
It never fails to amaze me at just how easy you make forge welding wrought iron look. I am going to have to find some to practice with.
Thanks Bob :) It is easier to weld with than mild steel so I would say use the hard stuff and the wrought will be a doddle!
Where are you I have some you could have
Who's the idiot that disliked this? Yet another awesome video. Thanks Rowan.
Very nice. I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for making the effort.
Robert Wolfe Thanks Robert :) means a lot :)

Dude great video as usual!!!
Really nice. wouldn't of thought to twist it all in one bar, would there be any visual difference if it were forge welded together as three individual twists?
KiK'sForge none whatsoever. It is also easier to hold it all together prior to welding. as the parts aren't all trying to slip away from one-another.
Do you use a standard wire brush? I saw a video on UA-cam here that suggested done kind of horse brush that used small flat springs rather than wire bristles. What are your thoughts on this?
Matthew Millar we call them butcher's block brushes over here. the flat bristles do a better job than the round bristles I find.
Do you plan to keep the entire works when you complete it or is it going to a museum of sorts?

Edgar der Schmied It's a Canon EOS 650D, carefully looked after because of the dust!
OK, thanks!
