    Beautiful work! I know craftsmen aren't a talkative lot, but you're doing a great job on the narration.

      Thank you, definitely outside my comfort zone!

      The comfort zone is a snare that stops you from growing any which way but older and fatter. Good job breaking out! Time to learn and grow a whole new set of skills. @@oconnorblacksmith

    The narration is a good addition. I think that’s what you’re older videos were missing.

      That would be a Jamesism.. or a mispronunciation 😆

    If you looked closely, he just gave us a good lesson on how to let a hammer do the work.

    That's a very good horse, James; you are quite a skilled artist.
    I notice that you almost always use a ball pein hammer. Could you comment a bit on that? Is it your favorite, or just convenient? I find that I use a straight pein about 2/3 of the time, a cross pein about a quarter of the time, and a variety of others only very occasionally, with the ball pein rarely stirring from the wall hook. It's just too light compared to the straight & cross. What are your thoughts on this?
