- In this video, I move further down the artefact and work on reproducing the first of three chain-link details. This involves yet more forge-welding and some fancy shaping!

I'm beginning to appreciate how extravagant the whole chain was at the time it was made.
Very nice!
Beautiful results.
Nicely done mate!
just catching up on all of these now :) Looking good !
I really love these videos... especially since you are keeping as close to authentic as possible... Really is amazing how blacksmiths back in the day could do this kind of intricate work. I've been smithing for about 18 months now and it still just mystifies me that this art is so old! I love it! Great work, man!
lovely work, i am pleased to look forward to see how it goes on. thanks
ayy that looks rad
beautiful work mate. also nice way of describing procedures
Thats a pretty cool looking chain style! Thanks for showing!
Fair play thats some top chain making
That's pretty! Love your videos man, can't wait to see this thing completed!
Finally!I was getting twitchy,there...
Thanks for the fix.
During the American revolutionary war a chain of aproximately 1 1/2" simple links was made to close off the north Hudson river to ships coming in.
These were simple straight links about 18" long. What a job that must have been.
This is looking swell.
fantastic chain sure makes it pop Joe well done
Super. Każdy Twój film jest świetny.
Could you make some traditional woodworking tools? A froe and a drawknife (not both in the same video, mind you) would be fantastic!
This has become a very interesting series. I really found this section of chain instructional. One question, when you were trying to find where to hold the link with your tongs would scrolling tongs have been easier?
dude, please when you finish all the chain, make the cauldron, pleeaaase
Any idea how much time total you will have in this project? I can't see a project like this being measured in anything but weeks. Perhaps a master blacksmith, with two or three journeymen, and all of his apprentices could accomplish this in a week, working full time. Perhaps not.
Do you have any other projects from this excavation in mind for future projects? Not that I am getting tired of this project, but I am curious as to how many works were found in this burial site?
Nice work. So much time to made these chains. Why was this cooking rig so ornate? Given the era this would have been used, would it not have been used primarily by servants in the kitchen? Seems an expensive design for a simple task.
AKA Nathan The metal work found at the site is said to be of the highest quality in Europe for the time.
In what setting was this chain used? Cooking for an army? this thing is gonna be huge!
good!!!
What does the "EBTZ91" on the chain making tool mean?
0 dislikes are still too many!
