Forging a Borax Spoon
Вставка

- At least that's what I'm calling this one. A suitable spoon for forge-welding projects. The spoon bowl doesn't need to be large, but the length is important to keep you from burns while the steel is at a welding heat.
Thank you for watching! You're awesome. If you want to help the channel for future videos, my links are below.

Once again, you're like a maestro!
When you were placing the sticky thinnest kiss blocks, I was thinking,
"Just step on the treadle pedal and it'll go" 😉
Forgings are amazing because it would be a lot more difficult to make the same item by other methods.
Very nice.
Simply amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for sharing
Love watching you work. Love just as much seeing your tooling creativity.
Thanks for sharing. I love power hammer specially it's voice since childhood.
i love seeing the tooling you use in these projects. Awsome job on the spoon.
it's a pleasure to watch your work
Nice...ya goofy m8te from Australia
Very nice job as always. Hopefully you get great use out of it for many years to come my friend. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Forge Lit. Keep Making. God Bless.
I started using a sieve for applying borax. Nice spoon mate, you are very inspiring
beautiful 😎
Thanks!
sweet
Great spoon. Very satisfying video.
You could have stolen a spoon from the kitchen. But this is so much nicer. Form follows function. Nice work.
Very nice work!
Well done ! 👏👍
👍
Lovely work as always mate!
That's beautiful.
I don’t know… I think the middle is begging for a single twist. 😁😁😁
Great work dude 😉😉
👏👍
If you're feeling rebellious, you can use your borax spoon to scoop something other than borax.
Yessir, I use cherry red/case hardening compound alot as well. Same need for a long spoon.
At 0:51 I said "damn he's good" aloud
Nice work.
How hard would it be for us that don't have a power hammer?
Forge out the handle of your choice on the anvil. flatten one end and grind a circle. you could forge the circle but its more complicated. You need a bowl swage or depression in a tree stump+ball pien. That should get you close.
Nice tooling. I was thinking you would use a ball swage. Same outcome.
thanks, starting with the half sphere tool gives more control at the start. Finishing with the ball bearing, polishes the interior.
Excellent job making it!! I love that how much would you charge for one??
Thanks man! Not sure yet, I need to re-tool this idea for an earlier coffee scoop project then I can do a batch run/figure out price. Couple weeks, I'll post all new items on website/instagram.
How do you keep your shop so clean and tidy
I typically set up for a project and the shop can get a mess, but I clean it thoroughly after I'm finished. When I film though, I make sure everything in the shot is clean. That way the viewer can focus on the work and not a mess.
@@rigoniironworks clever photography I like it... Well your shop looks amazing and the work you do is superb 5 ⭐
@@NeilEngelbrechtMechSeal well thanks!
Would this finish be food safe?
No, I would just coat in beeswax or mineral oil for that use. Iron spoons aren't great for eating with since you can taste the metal.
