    Maybe a poker handle or a handle for some fireplace tool! That angle iron twist is kind of cool! I love your work and all the things you show and teach us on this channel!
    You are a Master, John!

    Christ Centered Ironworks also demonstrated that angle-iron twist in there video "Unusual Twists in Metal". That one is also worth watching!

    The angle iron twist would make a good barn door handle.

    I still need a shed handle for both sides before a big wind catching it and damage happen, Hopefully I have angle steel in my pile.
    Thanks you Sir

    Thank you and I picked the angle iron twist one only cause I got to try it with some I had found in the shop pile. I used it and made a handle where it was bolted down on each end. But thank you buddy and I have gotten to make hooks out of railroad spikes. That hsss been great therapy time for sure!

    I was expecting an angle iron piece alrite but I was also convinced a flat bar would accompany it.
    Thank you for that valuable lesson Master Blacksmith.
    I can't wait until I get a chance to use some of your knowledge when I start classes with my local Master Blacksmith Liam Finin Christie.
    Best of luck from the Green Island!

    the split twists would look good in places like rail supports or even chair or table legs i think

    Angle iron twist might make a good fire piker handle. Taco forge weld that angle iron onto a fire poker, as the handle.

    I tried a basket twist on a bundle of 4 x 6mm round bar a few weeks ago - what a mess that ended up when I tried to untwist it! But at least I got the forge welds of the bars at the ends to work okay.!

      It takes a good even heat and sometimes some serious fiddling to keep everything even.

    I would have been tempted to grind the larger side of the chiseled flat bar to match the off center cut, but thats just me

    Unicorn Horn is what the angle iron twist reminds me of. Can you bring it to high heat and taper it out to a point?

    Wind Chime, its hollow it might ring nicely. Thanks John.

      Sounds like a good idea, sadly the test twist just goes thunk.

  • @onecrowingrooster2239
    @onecrowingrooster2239 6 років тому +1

    Looks like it would make a great icicle if you can forge weld the ends

    • @BlackBearForge
      @BlackBearForge  6 років тому +1

      It would be heavy in this size, but perhaps in a smaller angle.

  • @dougfranklin6338

    Have you done a video on the twist that looked braided I'd like to know how ou done that

    • @BlackBearForge
      @BlackBearForge  6 років тому +1

      I have not. But it would be good one to do. It is three pairs of round bars, each pair is twisted the same direction, all three pairs ar forge welded at the ends only and then twisted back the other way.

    • @dougfranklin6338
      @dougfranklin6338 6 років тому

      Black Bear Forge sounds interesting only problem is I'm having a problem teaching myself to forge weld. Just can't get. I will though.
      By the way. The angle twist. I figured it was angle @ first look.
      Just thought I'd. Through that in.
      Thank you for what you do.

    I thought the angle iron was a square tube. I wonder what twisting a square tube would look like?

    • @BlackBearForge
      @BlackBearForge  6 років тому

      Square tube collapses in on itself, it can be an interesting effect..
