In a field where it is hard to find a teacher or apprenticeship, especially as a working adult, you do so much to teach the art of being a blacksmith and I really can't say thank you enough.
Here here, literally finished and fired up my brake drum this morning before work after watching these videos for a month
Very nice work, John! Back when I was still a member of NCABANA we would post a challenge to members to interpret and make their solution to a descriptive piece to be brought back to the next monthly meeting. Some fun ones that I remember are the largest five lay braid, overhand knot in square stock, and most patterns in a six foot long stick of ⅜" square stock. That last one was the most fun. Several forged to round and back, chisel work, knots, drop tongs leaves, mirror scrolling, chisel split basket with a marble. ... Got carried away. Sorry John Switzer. Sorry to other readers and subs also.

Nice to just have a quiet unassuming craftsman plainly explain what he is doing and showing his trade.
No loud music, no fuck wit games show host type yelling and whooping. Just a man with a talent showing how it's done!!
Thanks, nice job, subscribed!
It's pretty great that you point out the mistakes you made so that we can learn from them. It also helps to know that even an experienced smith still makes mistakes once in a while.
@21:52 WOW! Now THAT deserves clinker stardom for sure!
Its a genuine pleasure to watch a true craftsman. Nice Piece.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the video
The doctor Phil of forging.
Love it. Subbed.
There are three things i liked about this video.
1. You explain very well.
2. It's a pleasure to watch. Watch you work.
3. You have a very well organized forge.
Very good video.
Thanks.
Indeed, it's a pleasure watching an old timer doing a great job using the just right tools... it's like magic. :)
Add 4. No annoying music
Absolutely agreed! He is possessed of a phenomenal teaching talent and unparalleled forging experience!
@@parvez2103He does play a great banjo though.
This content is better than a video game. We can build the world.
This guy is the Bob Ross of metal forging! Now that's a huge compliment. Nice work.
I was just thinking that a little bit ago! I am new to his videos, but I was thinking this very thing and I could listen to him all day!
You got my subscription I like how you explain very clearly and no annoying music while you're working
SilvaTech _956
you captured all i wanted to say.
Same
I know right. What an amazing new concept. 😂
Very informative... another new subscription! I like the fact that your video showed just how the process went, problems and all. That shows what a new "blacksmith" can expect to experience as he or she learns from scratch. I have a friend who has made his forge from scratch, and has made several very nice knives. I'm passing your video on to him. I'm sure he will enjoy your work as well. Thank you (and the lack of over-powering music was much appreciated!). -Gary
+1 to the music! I like the real world sounds
Ive been watching one of your videos everyday for a few months now sometimes going back to watch one again. I cant thank you enough for doing this. I now have the confidence and the skills to do this myself. I salute you sir, im still gathering tools and the like and working on a spot to smith. I consider you a mentor.
Glad you like them!
Great teacher. Love the calmness when things squirrel up repeatedly & how you optionalize various fix-its & re-dos.
Superb demeanor.
Thank you
i already watched this video, but YT asked me if i wanted to watch again and i couldn't resist! amazing work!
Thank you so much 😀
thats good to watch a man who accepts mistakes thats a true man right there
Great video! I'm trying to get veterans together to learn blacksmithing...i find it helps me with my struggles with PTS, and hope it can bring relief to others. Your approach is calming and refreshing.
Great job! I actually really like the gap/split at the end of the loop, I think it looks neat.
Great teacher. Thanks for all your hard work and taking the time out of your day to teach❤❤❤
You are so welcome!
Beautiful work, worthy of a master craftsman, you are a gentleman, a master with your teachings, thank you very much for your videos, I send you greetings from southern Argentina.
Ahh, refreshing video where there's no horrible music, just the sound of metal work and a good narrative explanation. You deserve more subs, will be sharing with any of my forging friends.
Exactly, no hooting and hollering no stupid youtube fake personality, just a normal guy sharing his passion.
You are a truly excellent teacher. Your examples are practical and complete, you explain important extra details without over explaining and loosing your audience. I've enjoyed everything I have seen you do.
you're a very calming instructor to listen to who really goes through all the steps for easier beginner learning
Absolutely amazing. I just built my own coal forge out of a wheel, some expanded metal, and an electric leaf blower. Your videos have really helped me with the learning process.
I like how no frills this is, no attempt to look overly cool or anything just plain simple smithing as it should be. Thanks for the great video.
This dude is good at blacksmithing.
Regards from the UK, enjoyed the lesson, keep posting please !!!
Thanks, will do!
Fantastic! It takes me back to school in the 1958-62 years, if only I wasn’t forced out to work and not continue, harder times in those days. Many thanks, subscribed, you bet!
7:57 my eyes have been opened, my mind blown, and the world has been shaken.
_tong clips_
_what ingenious magic is this?_
I don't 'forge', but thoroughly enjoyed the vid. Far better entertainment than the TV provides!
Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed the video
My grandfather was born in 1888, he was a blacksmith, I remember watching him when I was young, wish I could go back there.
I like your videos because you don’t fill every second with chatter. You explain things clearly, then demonstrate how to get the desired result. It makes watching the video comfortable and easy to follow.
I can't figure out why anyone would dislike this video, or any of them.. Awesome work! Thanks for the inspiration.
I guess some people just want to be entertained by fast action and wild antics more than they want to learn. I am glad you enjoyed the video.
I had such a pleasant evening coming across your video. Well done! I had never seen someone forge a peice before and sincerely, I'd head towards your shop and spend a week working with you. I wish I get to equip my shop with basic tools one day and try to forge some pieces myself. It must be very rewarding!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The Bob Ross of blacksmithing... I was mesmerized.
A major element of my success in all of my careers is that "I never lied to anyone." It earned me respect, and obedience when lives were on the line. John, you obviously have mastered that skill. I fully enjoy watching you share smithing with folks who both aim for it and those who just appreciate the skill necessary to accomplish it. Much obliged.
1:04
god DAMN that was good. most satisfying thing i've seen in months.
You make it look so easy your years of smithing show
Did anyone else see snake rattler? I have never forged anything, but when I do, I will take Johns advice and learn how to forge weld. Such an awesome art. Thanks John for another great video!
Hey, I really appreciate the tone of voice, the time to teach calmly, even from mistakes. thank you very much.
I really enjoyed your video. As a retired full time blacksmith working with coal I could almost smell the coke burning that clinker while you were forge welding. You didn't have to bring that clinker up but you did and that makes you a very humble blacksmith in my mind, because while you are working it is easy to get caught up in your work while explaining what you are doing, then you explained what happened, that is teaching. Great! I have a feeling that wouldn't happen if you working alone without filming. Any way what a humble way to teach, and that is what you did with the clinker comment. I always had an audience when working. Sometimes I would be cranking away talking and explaining what I was doing, then notice a brilliant display of fireworks, thereby forming a clinker and contaminating my forge fire. I got more comments for the sparklers than the product I was making. On a side note, I notice you use an angle peen hammer, I used one a lot and don't see many using one much any more. I thought that was a more ergonomic tool than a straight peen. Keep up the good work.
THANK YOU....always fun watching a master on Saturday Nite. Sure beats a rental movie!
SO NICE TO SEE SOMETHING THAT'S NOT MADE IN CHINA. LOL. IT WARMS MY HEART TO SEE A TRADESMAN HARD AT WORK IN HIS PROFESSION AND ENJOY IT. IF YOU CAN MAKE AND CREATE THINGS WITH YOUR BRAIN AND HANDS, YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE WORK THAT PAYS. AS A WELDER I SAY PEACE AND BLESSINGS AND THANKS FOR SHARING.🇺🇸✌️👍
I’ve never even considered getting into this kind of thing, but I could watch these videos all day.
"So let that be a lesson to ya!" Love it.
This was amazing im a welder and I grew up working with wood till I feel in love with steel things like this keep me wanting to learn more skills and keep building and creating things for years to come!!!
a new fan here sir. LOVE the way you teach, and YES...NO annoying overly loud music in background ! excellent explanations in a laid-back but not drawn out process....thanks for sharing. will be viewing other vids of yours as well. Like the Ol' Master ( who aint short fused and cranky!! ;) with a new apprentice !! much appreciated sir. thanks again!
Thanks
I've always been fascinated by blacksmithing. It's magic! All the ancient stories....
But, I'm 64 & in ill health. I don't think having a forge will ever be in my life.
My Dad could talk to machinery.... He understood machinery & was a heavy equipment mechanic before he became management, years later. I remember going to Elko Blacksmith Shop in the early '60s.
Fascinating.
Machines do NOT speak to me, threads do! I've been a handspinner & hand weaver for many years, until I was too weak to throw a shuttle.
It's just hand work of any kind interests me...
My wife is a weaver and does some spinning. Glad yu enjoyed the video
I just had a “did he just do that?!” moment over the scarf welds. I love this guy. 👍👍👍👍👍
The back wall of his shop makes me think of the Home Improvement set!
If only every You Tube video was as good as this one, serious skills made to look easy and demonstrated in a laid back way, the mark of a good craftsman.
This makes me so happy to see this older man making better UA-cam videos then kids who spend all day on youtube
John once again you have been inspiring with the creative work that you do. John i have watched dozens of your videos and have come away with learning more and more from each and every one . Not only your work is inspirational but you sir are an inspiration . Thank you for doing what you do .
The doctor Phil of forging.
Love it. Subbed.
So I'm not the only one who noticed that lmfao
Sound like Phil, but looks like Walter Brimley.
@@roonarklay7740 Wilford Brumley most don't even know who he is lol
@@bigsexymuthashutyomouth2546 Wilford Brumley was one cool actor
...... and it's WILFORD BRIMLEY if you spell it correctly
Definitely my favorite place to come and learn.
Cool vid, very clear and informative. And Sir, besides your blacksmithing skills, you have the voice of an anchorman.
Wow, thanks!
Excellent video John, fantastic twist and a great forge welding lesson.
Subscribed because you used both measuring units :). Great video, too.
you dont use inches?
I appreciate your humility, with accidentally dropping the braid. Also a great video, thank you for some more ideas I can move forward with..
Also how do you mute your anvil?
Its all explained in this video ua-cam.com/video/Z3365vFHXhw/v-deo.html
Master at work - and a gentleman - thanks for passing on your skill and help & honesty
I appreciate that!
This is SUCH a great video presented by a talented, experienced, and warm craftsman. Thank you!
I have no interest at all in doing this myself (I'm a woodworker), but it's a fascinating and very old skill presented by an obvious master of the craft. A craftsman is a craftsman no matter what media they use.
I wiah i would have got into it when i was younger.. at 53 i probably dont have much time to build skills and do more yhen a hobby with it. Great video! 👍👍
Because of you and your videos, I’m very interested in “doing this work”. Thank you very much
New subscribers here.
Listening to you while you work is very fulfilling.
Good project & demo, John! 🐾🔥⚒
You're a great teacher, sir. I know these videos take a lot of work and can eat up your whole day before they're ready to upload.
Thank you. In many cases you are correct.
just dicovered your video's within a couple of weeks, several I've already watched and I'm planning to go out forging on my field forge. These videa's are really good explained, also the faillures and how to handle
I know you were concerned about the tip not welding completely, but the "crack" makes the piece interesting. It says this was hand made. And isn't that what you want? Customers don't pay extra for perfection. They want it to look handmade. (Truth is... Looking at the piece I would think that crack is supposed to be there as a design element. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.) But I do appreciate your instruction on how to fix this "error" if I wanted. 👍 Sending lots of love ❤ from sunny 🌅 Arizona 🌵
I agree. What little I saw of it, I thought the split really added to the over all look of it. It looks hand made which is what I like about this sort of thing.
it's like that one knot left untied in the persian rug....to avoid perfection.
Agreed. I liked it with that.
I thought so too, I actually enjoyed the split that opened there. It genuinely looks intentional and imo, a little artistic. It really fitted well with the wheat twist.
Thank you, sir. Beautiful pattern, very educational, and a joy to watch. Subbed.
I really enjoyed your video, don't know much about what you do, I would of burned my hands, many a time, without gloves! Thanks for the very informative video!
Glad yu enjoyed it
I love this guy so effing much lol, not tryna be weird brother but you are far and away my favorite youtuber. you've helped me so much along my journey in smithing. Thank you!
Fantastic video, really enjoyed the way you explained what you were doing and the way you talk makes me feel like family.
You got yourself a subscriber today :D
Thanks for showing the twist John. Really no end to what one can make. Just need to get into the shop after the move.
Work With Nature - How to Grow Food! Ur comment is a year old, have you gotten to the forge, how was the move, make anything awesome yet lol , make anything original?
This type of work is done by machines now and it was nice to see you work the metal with your own hands just like they did in the old days when blacksmiths did it!
I'm a blacksmith myself and like watching your videos. As I don't have any forge by now, it's hard to describe to others how things work.
Watching your videos says more than a thousand words can. Thank you for sharing your art with us.
Great video, youre very informative and teach well, thanks for inspiring me!
Well said!!
Instant fan. Solid!
So much to see here. I don't know anything about forge welding etc but I keep my eyes off all of those forging tools that you have. The video was recommended to me and I really enjoyed watching.
Good Sir......Thank you for this excellent informative video.....you taught me so much........
Thanks for a good informative video, done the right way
Great vid,I'm a greenhorn,but know enough!I've found an anvil to work for to own,will start my shop soon,your my new teacher now,so I'll be watching close...land o' lakes,wi.usa...thanks...😐
Thank you for you channel and all the wonderful informative and instructional videos you produce. Theirs so may good things that people are gonna need if the world would turn upside down. Thank you .Thank you.
Look at that anvil, and what an odd hammer, and there are tong clips ? Totally entertaining.
5:54 I was like "wrong way!!! wait, no you're good".
Don't know why.... but it is almost addictive to watch... interesting...
It's a small WELD after all...
it is very entertaining
Al Catraz i get it
wooooooooooooww
took me a minute but i got it
Thanks a lot Al Catraz! Now I can't get that song out of my mind lol.
As a boy I learned a lot from my Grandfather, who among many other trade skills was a wheelwright. He lived from 1870 to 1968. Thank you for the refresher course Sir.
do you have anything he made or used ? I have an old crowbar from my great grandfather, which he made. My great uncle gave it to me, and he lived to be 96, like my grandfather, not sure on how old my great grandfather lived to be... I also have some chisels he made and I use them !
@@DanTheManIOM No I left home at 15 and have been on my own ever since. He had retired and moved to Mexico and I would stop by to visit Him and my brother and sister on my many trips north and south down into central and south America.. The knowledge he gave me has served me well through my entire lifetime so far. In the various shops I've built from the ground up always had a forge because if you know how, you can create magic with one. I'm old and retired now but I may build one more shop and it will definitely have a forge, I may get creative and build a propane or map gas fired one, because I haven't seen any coke for sale here in SE Asia, where I now reside.
Hi Your Video is just Great, I worked with my Grandfather as a Boy up in Errol near Dundee. Old Bob was a great Smith' He was taught by his Father and I was taught by Him.
Now at 71 I am just about to build my first portable forge for working in my Back yard. Video to Follow. - Tom In Ayr Scotland.
Had never seen that type of twist before. It is very impressive looking. Well done. Great forge weld of twist to handle by the way!
Yes you have, it's called a braid. People braid their hair all the time.
You are a veritable mine of knowledge and skill my friend. It's a pleasure stumbling across your channel. SUBBED!
I love your videos. And you are a good teacher.
Glad you like them!
I'm not a blacksmith, but I am fascinated by it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. :)
Cool, thanks
First video I've watched; Very interesting and relaxing. I'm glad that your video didn't show a "perfect" job, but that you allowed to show these small errors and mishaps that can occur. Thumbs up.
I love watching this it’s true art work Sir!!
No explosion is true art
Came across this video while surfing through how to build a well, this is such a good explanation you've definitely got my sub.
Glad to have you. I wonder why UA-cam recommended this while you where looking for a video on a well. I suspect we will never know
Am alone in loving when he brushes off a hot piece he’s working on? It’s like when Bob Ross beats the devil out of his brushes.
Poseidon brushing the metal off is one of my fav parts of blacksmithing it’s so satisfying
This is my kind of ASMR ☺️
It's like Dr Phil and Ron Swanson had a baby
Damn I was just gonna say he sounds like Ron Swanson but then saw ur comment
That is an INCREDIBLY accurate observation.
thought he looked like Alex Steele in 30yrs
He has found his best life and does a manly job. And it looks like he eats plenty of meat too. Everything is fine here. On to the next channel.
Dr. Phil Swanson...
That wheat twist is absolutely beautiful so please stop downing or judging your beautiful work of art!!!👍
Let's twist again real soon!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Don't know why or how I ended up here but hey, wheat twist thingy 👌
Lesson learned!! I definitely recognize this. I often have the same problems forge welding 4 pieces together and work them too long, they split 😭
So let that be a lesson to you! Lol 😅 great video! You are talented!
Excellent work I liked that steel wheat. Thank you for sharing.
