Mate, you could make a whole video series on just making the tools you use to make stuff. Very interesting variety of tools to make stuff. I am seriously impressed.
@@kaseymathew1893 poultry in general will eat just about everything, but they have some favorites. They really love things that are red, probably because blood is red and they love to peck at the new poultry if not introduced correctly. They also really like snakes, worms, mice, ticks, or anything else they can chase and get ahold of.
The tooling you have made is simply beautiful and breathtakingly inspired. Watching you work is a joy! Few smiths pay tribute to fire and iron the way you do.
It was an experiment. The tool is from mild steel. I added case hardening compound/added carbon to the thin tips, with the idea it should strengthen/stiffen them.
Make a BBQ fork . . . ducks eating . . . start a fire . . . pour a beer . . . I was worried for the poor ducks until I saw the steak cooking away. Thanks for your time
You know friend you need a large spoon for BBQ'ing hogs as well as other large dead animals. A fork, spoon coffee spoon and pair of tongs all forged would be a lovely gift set.
I'm always impressed with your precision and tooling etc. But I am wondering where the sequence of making the tines of the fork went? Did you cut to size or draw out? I can not use tooling, or make it, with the precision you have mastered so well, but I wonder about some of the methods and the reliance on tooling that you favor. I say this from the primitive craftsman perspective, and must admit I don't have a real grasp of your methods. It is interesting to watch how very differently one smith would create a tool versus another. Like a machinists versus a colonial smith. Given the job at hand and tools available they would go about things very differently.
As usual, great work, and a really nicely done video -- you are a gifted story teller. But ... a Guinness??!! That's a really nice brew, BUT YOU'RE IN TEXAS. C'mon. Where your state pride, John?
I didn't understand - what did you sprinkle the fork teeth with before hardening? Is it the salt of some kind of metal? Or a mixture of sodium tetraborate with something?
@@rigoniironworks Thank you for the clarification. I have the education of a welder and am interested in metal science and forging, I was surprised that you use carburizing pastes in an unloaded part, like a fork :) Nevermind, even my wife calls me a bore
Today I watched your 3 4 videos one after one , very interesting you are ahead of Torbjorn Ahman . Now you have one more subscriber . Thanks for sharing .
🙋Wow, very interesting video...Technology is nothing. What's important is that you have a faith in people, that they're basically good and smart, and if you give them ⚒ tools,🛠 they'll do wonderful things with them.....👍
I like the contemporary lines in this project. Never thought of case hardening a fork, interesting idea.
Thanks, yeah I figured mild steel/easy to forge, then harden/temper the thin forks so they don't bend as easy.
Flawless and crisp, beautiful designed and smart to use case hardening compound for the thin tines!
@@rigoniironworks Awesome work as always. Let us know how well that worked out.
Leave it to a blacksmith to harden a fork 😅

Blacksmithing and beef, it's what's for dinner! Great work, John.

This might be the first time I've ever seen a blacksmith shop so organized and thought out. Nice work, man!
Never would have thought that ducks would eat watermelon. Nice work as always.
Ducks, chickens, and most other birds LOVE watermelon. Portion control is important, elst they eat themselves sick.

Don’t forget Coyotes they have ruined many melon patches
you are an artist and creative 👍
Friend, your shop is as clean and organized as a surgery! And the precision of your diy tools!! Keep it up.
That secondary hammer-anvil tong thingymajig at beginning is great
OMG unique tool making heaven
This channel is amazing
I like how you call it a "simple" fork when it's anything but simple. Excellent work, as always, and a real joy to watch.
Oh wow! The chamfering tool is brilliant! Like a big live center. I’ll have to copy that!
Great work. Your shop is so squared away! Using tears of joy to quench my flaming envy 😂. Well done, sir.
The tooling you have made is simply beautiful and breathtakingly inspired. Watching you work is a joy!
Few smiths pay tribute to fire and iron the way you do.
Great tooling and amazing skill! I love that countersink/chamfer punch. Very nifty :))
Simple and clean. Awesome work as always Mr. Rigoni!
I could do that……….just give me 10 years of trying and another 10 years of experience. An expert always makes hard work appear easy, well done
The way you use your tools is brilliant! And good thinking with the case hardening. Thanks!
That's beautiful. Your tooling is also always impressively thought out.
I love his shop. So open and clean. If and when I ever get into metal working on this scale I’d like it to look like his.
Another great video. Really nice fork. And some of the tooling that you have and use shows a lot of thought going into the making of them
Came here while waiting for Torbjorn Ahman to post another video, now a new subscriber. Very similar styles.
You are quite right. Not only are their style of video production similar, they also enjoy a similar level of skill. Both are super accurate smiths.
Indeed! I’ve made the comparison myself too, both are meticulous blacksmiths!
Level of precision and aesthetics you achieve as a blacksmith (not machinist) is amazing !!!
Wow very beautiful design. Turned out very well there. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge on. Keep making. God bless.
Very nice and clean , very interesting tooling , may be a shop tour one day . :)
Love the flypress tooling! Pretty slick
I love birds, and appreciate your gift of mellon to your ducks.
The tools you have made are pristine.
In South Africa we prefer tongs to turn our meat, as we believe that the juices in the meat are lost when piercing it with a fork. I love your work!
Fantastic as always, Its great to watch even if only for the tooling let alone the nicely made items
GREAT WORK!
I live in Memphis, TN so I need one of these! I look forward to your videos, keep em coming 😁
Hello. Very good job. But I especially liked the place of work and the Garden 👏👏👏👏
10 mins of calmness
I like the sturdy fork clean lines it is quality for sure
Beautiful and inspiring work as always!
Very good black smith
Thanks, a great video 🤠🇺🇸
Very nice, Did you case harden the forks?
Yep, then heavy temper.
Замечательная работа 👍я подумал вилка " чертей " гонять 😅😅
Very nice! All you need now is to make a matching pigtail meat hook!
All that to properly cook a steak. With a proper beer. Nice.
Nice swage block.
Did you put flux on the tines ? And why thanks for the videos
It was an experiment. The tool is from mild steel. I added case hardening compound/added carbon to the thin tips, with the idea it should strengthen/stiffen them.
Me encanta ese taller de herrería
Hermoso que buen trabajo
1:00 forbidden metal candy.
That is forking wonderful
Seus vídeos nos trazem conhecimento , e acima de tudo alegria , prazer ; pois é uma louvação à técnica e ao belo .

For the tines, I like cutting them out. It's easier to forge a rectangular taper, that way both sides are equal/same length/faster to make.
Nice Man 😊
Bravissimo complimenti
Szczęśliwy gospodarz to szczęśliwe też gąski.
Good job mash'Allah
Love it!
Красивая мастерская 👍👍👍
Ducks for eggs, dinner or entertainment? BTW the fork was nice.
Eggs hopefully :)
At 7:00 what was that you put on the tines of the fork before the quench?
case hardening compound. I figure it would stiffen/toughen them up a bit.
@@rigoniironworks Makes sense, wouldn't want weak tines when dealing with steak... It'd be a tragedy for a nice steak to wind up on the ground.
Good work sir
power hammer capacity 50kg or more ?
Hello, 50kg
Отличная работа
thanks for this confection
As usual, great work, and a really nicely done video -- you are a gifted story teller. But ... a Guinness??!! That's a really nice brew, BUT YOU'RE IN TEXAS. C'mon. Where your state pride, John?
Ohh no. Guinness is my jam :) Plenty of great beers out there, but it's been my go to since the Marines.
I didn't understand - what did you sprinkle the fork teeth with before hardening? Is it the salt of some kind of metal? Or a mixture of sodium tetraborate with something?
Case hardening compound. I figure it would give a little rigidity/less bending during use, but still use mild for the project.
@@rigoniironworks Thank you for the clarification. I have the education of a welder and am interested in metal science and forging, I was surprised that you use carburizing pastes in an unloaded part, like a fork :)
Nevermind, even my wife calls me a bore
boa noite, como eu faço para poder adquirir alguns dos seus produtos
hello your view from iraq amazing
nice video
Belíssimo trabalho parabéns 👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏

Good

Ha, yep. Ducks love cold watermelon.
Impressive tooling.
Công phu quá 😂😂😂😂

Хорошая вилка получилась , но пиво надо наливать в стекло а не в металл
Пиво вообще ненадо пить
I thought at the end there would be only 4 ducks...
Ha, not this time. The ducks are for comic relief and egg production.
@@rigoniironworks nice work as always. I enjoy watching your videos.
Buon appetito!....
Pity we missed a big chunk making the actual forks.
I cut out the interior and filed to shape. I find it easier than forging out the spikes.
Dear very interesting video 🤔 “In every day, there are 1,440 minutes. That means we have 1,440 daily opportunities to make a

the tooling tho
I want your life 😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Отличная работа!!! Небухай тока
I was just describing this channel to my dad and said rigatoni and not rigoni.
haha, no worries close enough :)
