Forging a Fireplace Tool Set with Stand
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 тра 2024
- I wanted to try an idea for a forged fire tool handle and ended up making a two piece set of tools with stand. This is a heavy set of tools with mortise and tenon joints used in the stand.

I know absolutely nothing about blacksmithing but I really like watching you create things out of chunks of metal.
Hey John thanks for adding that b-roll footage of you sharpening your drift after usage. It may have only been just a few seconds of video, but I forget to do that all the time. Thanks for the reminder.
Cutting in the tenon shoulders to index the fullering tool, brilliant idea John!
John, as ever, absolutely gorgeous!
I really like the aesthetic of this set.
That turned out really nice.
The little tips and tricks narrated through your working process are worth their weight in gold. Thanks again for another great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
That shot at 1:18 was awesome
these are the Black Bear Forge videos that hooked me years ago, great project with just enough instruction to be able to give the project a try. Thank you John
Now that’s better! Thank you John.
I sure do enjoy your videos,
happy new year wishing you and your wife health and happines for the coming year
My friend... This work was really impressive!😲 And also the video editing helped a lot to understand the whole process. The objective and clear way you explain makes it easy for me to fully understand your entire narrative, considering that English is not my native language. Thank you very much and congratulations on the success of your channel!
Glad it was helpful!
I agree. Makes us feel like we’re in the shop. All the time and effort you put into these videos is greatly appreciated. I imagine its very time consuming, so when you cut back on videos to get other things done, we understand. Thanks John!
It always amazes me the craftsmanship there is making simple things
Beautiful project.
I wish I could fill my house with your work.
Thank-you for making these videos, they really are appreciated.
My pleasure!
This fireplace tool set is going to compliment our wood stoves, so next week when I've some days off I'm going to make two sets. This tutorial is very helpful - thank you John! 🌻
Your concept of showing your entire project from start to finish is terrific. Really helps with appreciating the work and thought required to create a cohesive assembly. I excite to see what other projects you take on. Thanks for sharing
Thank you very much!
Awesome rack John and I love your I can fix it attitude. Enjoy your day
Love these project videos
I like how these bigger projects can be cranked out more quickly when you’re making free use of the power and treadle hammers.
That was excellent!
came out good as always! I really like the way that you put them together.
Well, I feel like I owe an apology for not watching your videos in quite a long time!
Love the tool set. I just had the idea to make a set, because the ones we have are cheap, store-bought ones.
Your channel has blown-up, too! Almost 275k followers AND a sponsor?! Great job!
Nice work John.
Thanks for sharing your time and talents!
👍👍❤️
Nice build John. Thanks
holy cow. this is amazing
I love this set. My favorite kind of video. (Next to a good tong video)
Nothing better than making a good pair of tongs
Tongs tongs tongs!🙏🏻🔥⚒️🧙🏼♂️
Now this is the kind of thing I was looking forward to when you said more interesting projects!
It is like a fun game for me, trying to figure out how you do certain steps before you show them, makes me think like a blacksmith, and I always learn something!
Certainly inspires me to try more complex projects myself.
Thats great to hear. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Great work sir. I don't do black smiting but I do enjoy watching all u do. These is my favorite piece by far.. thank u for all that u do
Favorite points of the video after coming back to finish viewing (YT library / history is a year thing):
The way you did the hook on the poker. Haven’t seen that way before.
The scalloped detail, and showing that you made the tool for that project.
The final unveiling after blackening, in its rightful place.
Nicely done, John. Thank you.
Very nice looking set!!
Great decision to change things up, John. There's plenty of resources in the archive for beginners and dabblers (like me). Now its great to watch you seeing bigger projects through and showing us new and more challenging techniques.
Nice work!
I am interested in seeing more on upsetting. Specifically, in how to make a number of square head bolts.
Great suggestion!
Very beautiful. Hopefully the future owners get great use out of them for many years to come. They forged out very unique and very clean design. 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 Making. God Bless.
As always you inspire me to do more.thanks for that
really awesome, again.
Sunday morning with a cup of coffee and a Black Bear Forge video is the nicest way to wake up. Thanks for another great video, John!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Amazing work!
I don't think I have seen that style of fireplace tools where a peg and hole were used. I have to admit that I like it a lot.
Hello, I'm from Russia. Thank you for the master class.
Another great job!
Great work John :)
Awesome work per usual. Thanks so much
That's a beautiful set, John. I'm sure anyone with a fireplace (I don't have one) would be happy to have it.
Bill
John, that is a very nice fireplace tool set. I need to make a couple for friends and you have given me some ideas of going away from the basket handles or twisted square stock. Thanks you so much for the inpsiration.
Glad to help
I love it when the power hammer be panting
Nice job the traditional way well done and well videod

Very well done awesome work as always thanks for bringing us along
That turned out great John, anybody would be proud to have that next to their wood stove or fireplace!
Very nice piece of work. A great way to kick off 2023. Thank you for sharing. Have a great new year and stay safe.🙂🙂
Always so much great knowledge in your videos my good sir!
I always see lots of positive comments on your projects, techniques, videography, editing ect. And rightfully so, but I tell ya I'm blown away by the amount and quality of your tools. 30 plus years of "need a tool, make a tool'' and collecting adds up to one heck of blacksmith shop.
That it does
Hello John
Well done a good looking pair of Tools for the fire.
I learned from your work everytime
Thank you for your Video.
I hope the snow is a bit meltet and your watertanks are full
Take care
Yours Frank Galetzka
Thanks 👍 But I'm afraid the snow has been very light for us this year. Hopefully we will have some good late winter storms.
Curious how your welds look better than they ever have before! Someone’s been practicing. Very nice.
Very nice work! Great to watch a craftsman working. Thanks John
Good morning Mr John. Impressive! That's a great tool set. TBH Ida never thought one could draw a shovel out of that seemingly small material. Sooooooo MUCH left to learn!
Blessings my friend
Crawford out 🙏🏻🔥⚒️🧙🏼♂️
Good morning! Thanks for watching
Masterful work
Perfect!
They're beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us. Always a privilege to see your work.
Great job .... congrats
There might be someone who takes the risks that you take to produce a great video. It sounds like I mean risky blacksmithing, I don't, I mean you make yourself likeable. I see it in other comments, people call you friend. But my question is about the butcher type of flatter you use under the power hammer. Did you make that with an anvil hardy shank? I'm not sure I've seen a tool like that. Maybe a tool of the day could be revisited. Thanks for all of your time John, you really do a fine product. I've been a customer of combat abrasives, and they are in my state, because you found them and they help you do a fine bunch of videos.
Very, very nice 👍
I love how you make it all look easy...I just started in blacksmithing and have a pile of ummm failed attempts at tongs and such, but keep the video's coming, i am learning slowly but surely
very nice work Mr John thanks for sharing blessings to you and yours ✝️
Love it!
John,
Great looking project.
The flared ends came out great.
Army
NICE!!!
You should do a live feed for one of your projects.
You really out-did yourself this time John. This set is beautiful. You are truly a fine craftsman.
Glad you enjoyed it
Kind regards from Poland,Thank You for the video, learning and for sharing yoar experience with us.Good Łuck and persevera nce and HOW BEST HEALTH . Richard from Poland Thank You
Fantastic
Very Nice John! Thanks so much for sharing your awesome craftsmanship and creativity.
Glad you enjoyed it
Absolutely amazing work 👏 I think I am going to try to make something similar it probably won't be as nice as yours but I will give it the old college try "one for the gipper"
You can do it!
Thanks for the vote of confidence
Nice job. Very unique but still tasteful.
Really a great job John, beautiful job on the fireplace set. Thanks for sharing with us, stay safe and have a great year. Fred.
Beautiful set, and editing. It's projects like that which really make me wish I had a power hammer to draw out thick section!
Very nice set of tools John, love the style.👍👍👍👍👍😀😀😀
Beautiful !!! Great craftsmanship. Love the design and finish.
Thanks great looking project
Lovely DIY. Really nicely made and the skill and craftsmanship level shows...
Great video. I really like the direction you are taking the channel.
A very impressive piece! You definitely make it look easy, I'm sure that was a lot of work!!
Top notch demo. Thank you John. I enjoy watching your demonstrations.
It looks Marvelous 😊
John, that is a fantastic project. Thank you for sharing and explanation. Your teaching is very valuable.
Dave
Glad you enjoyed it
Very Nice John, Love the format and explanation of the processes.
Watching your videos is always entertaining and informative for this extremely novice blacksmith. Your use of simple hand tools, or explanations on how you can simplify things when you do use tools that the average garage smith won't have, makes me try out your techniques. I don't even get upset when I break a piece because I can hear you voice just going "oh well" and moving on. Thank you for making these.
Hallo John a happy new year! Wow that is a really cool kid of blacksmithing! And a coll long video to watch! Thanks greetings from Germany
Thanks 👍
Nice
A beautiful set, both in design and execution!
Great making video anyway 👍👍
Very very nice. Thanks for showing more power hammer work/tools. I had a stroke awhile back and cannot do a-lot of what i used to be able to do, so i bought a Clay Spencer tire hammer to make up for my lack of strength but have been trying to figure out tooling, thanks for the bit and piece of tooling.
Glad to help
Awesome job there John Happy New Year
Happy new year!
Thank you, Sir..
I don't get to catch every video and this is my first time seeing you set the torch down and go back to peening the tenon. How in the world is that rigged up? Does the it idle the gas and stop the O2? Does it leave the torch lit to flare up again when you lift it? Apologies if this has already been explained. This is an aweome finished product you've turned out.👍🏻
I'm using a Gas Saver from Smith. It shuts the gas off to both sides and has a pilot light.

@@BlackBearForge Thank you Sir! Much appreciated! I know a custom auto body guy who would make good use of that.
Good morning
Morning
Hello guys!
I want to start blacksmithing, but i live in a neighborhood. I was wondering how loud blacksmithing really is?
I would like to hear from you guys!
It depends on you neighbors an how well you get along with them as much as anything. Not working to early in the morning or late into the evening helps. Anvils can be quieted down to deaden the ring pretty easily. Power hammers are probably not going to fit in very well.
AMAZING JOB, YOU MADE IT LOOK SO EASY, BUT SURELY A LOT OF WORK GOES INTO THAT PIECE. THAT ANVIL IS BOSS, WHERE DID YOU EVER FIND THAT??
The anvil is a Fontanini available from stevefontaniniblacksmith.com/
