I'll be honest, I originally clicked on your video because I saw your pic, but I was totally wowed by the production and educational quality of your video, how you capture the process, and the works of art you create. I've been watching knife making videos for years and don't know how I missed your until now, but I am sure glad I found them. Keep up the great work!
I used to watch my grandfather as a kid and was in awe of his skill with the hammer.....I would rather watch you though and hear the sound of your soothing voice......you truly have turned your amazing craft into an art form!
I have had a tough 6 years with PTSD and borderline personality disorders. Extreme anxiety as dominated my life. However I found solace in Norse mythology and the way they lived. I began to read like never before. Anyone thats dealt with or deals with mental health,will know concentration is hard at times. Watching a favourite TV show is a challenge. I can across you today. Thankyou for what you do. I hope your surgery is successful
I watch a lot of blacksmithing videos on UA-cam, but so many of them rely on power tools when I really want to see more of them working with more conventional tools like your hammer and anvil. Plus, thank you for not overdoing it on the music! Lots of them will play really loud, obnoxious music that drowns out all the sounds of their work, but I really like those sounds, so I appreciate your quieter, less intrusive song choices. Your camera is also very good! I imagine it was hard to find one that could handle the intense light-dark contrast of glowing hot steel against a more shaded background, but yours works like a charm! The way you capture the half-molten flakes falling and the flux bubbling is really beautiful, too. Those little details make videos like these a true work of art!
As a homesteader I find it shocking how few of our fellow homesteaders know what froes are. My grandpa had me using one back in the 50s. For off grid folks I think this is a must tool. Thank you for sharing your skills.
Aye, folks come from the city... buy an overpriced acre, start a small garden, buy some chickens... Got ya a homestead. All that should be part of a city design. I hope we get there someday
@@dispmonk We will, on Mars. That's my goal. I missed all the early expansionism, so I set my sights ahead. Been working for the last 5 years on gathering the engineering/fabrication skills, and the prior 20 years on computers and programming. I may not live to see it, but if I do, I'll be ready! I'll probably be using an induction furnace, O2 will be a precious resource, after all, but the skills I pick up from _the most powerful learning platform of all time_ will be invaluable.. Thank you!
I keep looking for a froe at flea markets, antique shops and junk piles. Haven't found one yet. You're right, Joe, most people haven't the foggiest notion what a froe or what riven wood is.
Looks immensely satisfying, I tried my hand at smithing decades ago at school, nothing heavy duty, just learned the basics of welding, cutting and a couple of twists, I'd love to have the time and space to try again but I'm just gonna have to live vicariously through your channel and a few others for now
Awesome video. I’m not a blacksmith or knife maker but your videos are still very inspirational. They show how planning, craftsmanship and skill can turn out some high end pieces. Hope all goes well with your surgery. Still don’t understand how anyone can thumbs down such great content!
Had a really frustrating week keeping my tiny children alive and somehow UA-cam knew I needed to see a strong, beautiful lady beating on glowing hot metal. God bless.
That's an ambitious project. I've made froes from leaf springs and they are a lot closer to the needed shape. I made two of them over 20 years ago and they have never needed to be resharpened.
yeah i could have started out with something easier, i just like to move metal. i dont see a point in lighting the forge unless im doing to be sweating
Right on. I metal detect and often find cool old steel and iron. You have helped inspire me to put a forge in my workshop and learn. Thank you. I like your works. George.
i am now a retired and disabled Professional Woodworker and for some reasons i’m not sure of as of Yet i find watching Forging incredibly therapeutic , i also enjoyed the background music used in this video
What an amazing skill you have, the first video I saw was of you making a boat and now this. You are amazing, I wish you a speedy recovery I can't wait to see your next project Stay strong and healthy and God bless
There is a article floating around about the lady of the lake being a verey powerful and talented fey smith. After watching your videos it makes much more sense than the original lore. Good luck with your surgery keep up the craft it's amazing.
Well done young lady, ,, Now,, People will understand the lack of smithing videos due to surgery, That would still allow you to make videos like 1. Getting the right anvil, 2,Types of furnaces 3, Safety rules 4. Basic hammers 5, You know the rest of the list to make....... Now your voice is fine... Be yourself and spread the sparks.
I normally watch Forged in Fire, thankfully your video came across on my to watch list. Really soothing to watch, you have a calming voice. Wish you well with the surgery and God bless.
I love the sound of the steel ringing as you hammer it. And it's very clever of you to have chosen background music which is in the exact key of that ringing! Incidentally, Chandler Dickinson made something out of one of those railroad clips in one of his videos. (He lived next to the railroad tracks, and he made a lot of things out of old railroad spikes.) And may your surgeon's hands be as deft as yours, and may you recover quickly and thoroughly and return to your forge with renewed vigor and imagination.
First time I've heard of a froe, and I've been splitting wood for years. As I've gotten older, I've fallen back on a manual hydraulic ram to handle the more difficult rounds. Definitely have to get one of these.So, an old dog has learned a new trick. Thanks!
A froe was actually pretty common in the rural areas up to just prior to WWII. Still a lot of wooden shake shingles around then. Now they are a novelty and an insurance premium nightmare.
If you can find where the RR has changed out some ties,and their scrap pile,the old tie plates are pretty hard stuff and will heat treat. It starts out pretty hard, otherwise the rail would just beat them in half over time. Good luck with your surgery.
I use to make anvil parts for sheetmetalwork and smaller hotforging works of those when i find them (by making bolts and nail them to a solid treestump i can put on the floor or my workbench or welding it to a solid pice of scrapmetal so i can use them for toools that will save the actual surface of my anvil), i don't think i hawe worn out a single one of those yet so far, must be quite hard steel in them.
@ Path Of Fire… dear one, iv only recently subbed to you and after this ran across feed , iv realized something, for whatever the reason is , watching you work is very soothing to my soul, maybe I’m not the only one, maybe there is deeper meaning, iv watched blacksmiths firsthand creat their art, but this is something very different, and quite pleasing and peaceful amidst a subtle violence , maybe it’s the background, maybe it’s feeling the desicions made and the love of art , I watch your choices , your pauses, I feel your energy with each swing and each moment you decide your next move, maybe we all do surely I’m not alone in this, why? Why is this so soothing? Why do I not see this and try to analyze how I might do it differently? Why do I find comfort in the glow of near flowing particles? The clang of the hammer? Why does there seem to be a hidden peace in seeing an art that iv never had an interest in? Is it the art? Is it the passion you have that we all must sense? A silent call you have ? Is this a therapy that I never knew existed? Whatever the what’s or why’s or how’s,I am totally mesmerized watching this art.
Had one of those log splitters as a kid was a very handy tool id hold it while my dad hit it to split firewood . We had another one with a regular handle too it looked like a big knife . Great vid and forgeing 🤘
good luck on surgery. did you make the scapel. i just found your channel recently and your really entertaining. i fool around with the forge enough to feel great respect for your skill. does this mean you want some shingles made. harharhar. have fun. thank yew
Surprised by how many know what a Froe is . I used one The summer of 1970 logging in the Olympics of Washington . A chain saw and Froe & Mallet to split cedar blocks for the Shake Mill wherever that Cedar Tree fell on a steep hill or ravine. Nice Job.
The "fro' is so named since, once it had been beaten into the wood, it's it was rocked to and fro to split off a shake. The tool used to beat the fro into the wood was called the beatles or beadle or beedle. The process of splitting off shakes was know as riving.
Happy St Patrick’s Day to all who are Irish or Wanta be Irish for the day! I had my Corned Beef Cabbage and Potatoes! From a Real Irish Pub in Old Town Bay City MI. Coonan’s even at COVID-19 Distances it was awesome to see the owner and Bar Keep in their Kilts ‘Respect ☘️☘️☘️
You aint lying about them being hard to move.. I got one I straightened out.. Yeah it was alittle rough. Didn't know the carbon level in it so I didnt know how hot to get it
Always great to see you working. Learning a lot about the forging process and will start practicing soon, after I've practiced more of my leather work.
Pretty voice. I have three railway clips that sing as the wind clang them together. Sound like wrought iron. My wife voice is pretty too. Women and iron are treasures.
Oh, PS been wanting to make a froe for many years. Work with wood as well. Great tool. Could easily just make one and weld it with an arc welder, But refused to do it all these years. Could go on explaining more about the shop and such. But I will spare you.😳👍 thanks for the inspiration and I will give it a go.😊
I really like that you do it all by hammer and not a power hammer. I know what it is like to pound on hard steel like that and it is hard work indeed, super impressive. You must be like me and find hard labour therapeutic!
Job well done. You’ve obviously been forging for a while. That vid relaxes me. Not sure if it was the music or the glow of hot steel. Either way impressive.
I like the scene of the scale falling with the hammer ringing in the background. First time I’ve seen a forging video with that artistic videographic styling.
I enjoy watching your videos and look forward to the next one to see what you make. Your health comes first I'm sure everyone will be here when you can return if you have to miss a few videos. I wish you a quick recovery.
Newbie here, I enjoy seeing stuff forged in fire. Glad I found your channel. You do nice work. Great Craftsmanship. I'm about 7 months late but hope your surgery went well, and had a quick recovery.
I gotta say I just found your videos as it came across my feed and once I got past the obvious, I found them completely fascinating and educational. I have so many questions like where did you learn all these skills and how long have you been doing them. Your work is truly amazing and good for you doing what you are passionate about and creating beautiful, useful items at the same time! Thank you for sharing your process!
"Hard to bend in the heat" well you told it pretty dam quick! Machine! You have some real talent. Maybe one day I'll get to have a go. Looks so therapeutic
Never hit the back of the froe with anything but a mallet or club. The old ones that show up in the UK are all soft on the back. You can split with a froe. Also good for riving - for example cleft chestnut (oak or ash) fence rails in a cleaving brake. For that, the eye needs to be deeper as it takes a lot of side thrust.
@@ThePathOfFire Good to know. Re the eye, I was more thinking of breaking off or loosening the timber handle when riving as you need to 'rock' the froe in the workpiece to make the split run. Hope you are all recovered from your op.
Very nice. Have some of that steel laying on the floor under a bunch of scrap steel been meaning to use for years have made various things with it. Never thought of making a throw with it though,. Very good great idea good job. Keep up the great work. stay well and have a beautiful day. Jim
Amazing work can I ask where you find the music for your videos? it matches perfectly with your work and feel of the video. Great work again it's always amazing to see an ancient craft being carried forward through time.
I'm not able to be patron at this time, but I did subscribe, liked and will share. Thank you for sharing your time, passion, and knowledge with us. Your manner of sharing with the soft, pertinent music, interesting camera angles, and only necessary verbiage is soothing, relaxing and motivational all at once, thank you again!
Been in metal fabrication for about 20 years, but never tried blacksmithing. Just might need to get back to the real fabrication of metal. Oh and thanks for the video, need to subscribe to a shieldmaidens story.

This is great
A smith once told me there is a special spike that has a distinct mark on the head that was a harder steel used for areas of track that were curved.
they are harder than the other spikes but they are all mild steel. if you had a high carbon nail... and hit with a sledge, it would shatter

@@ThePathOfFire no problem and truly thank you love the videos
Never hit the back of the froe with anything but a mallet or club. The old ones that show up in the UK are all soft on the back.
You can split with a froe. Also good for riving - for example cleft chestnut (oak or ash) fence rails in a cleaving brake. For that, the eye needs to be deeper as it takes a lot of side thrust.
I make mine to withstand any hit and the eye is fine. I doubt any of my soft skinned followers have the strength to break my forge welds
@@ThePathOfFire Good to know. Re the eye, I was more thinking of breaking off or loosening the timber handle when riving as you need to 'rock' the froe in the workpiece to make the split run. Hope you are all recovered from your op.
I hope all goes well with your surgery. Have a speedy recovery!
Thanks jim
Good luck with your surgery. Godspeed.
All the best for September 1st. Take care 🙂
Thanks greg
Growing up in the Pacific Northwest this was a prized tool typically crafted from old leaf springs (likely because there were no blacksmiths).
Oh thats cool!
Good luck with your surgery....
Thank you

Amazing work can I ask where you find the music for your videos? it matches perfectly with your work and feel of the video. Great work again it's always amazing to see an ancient craft being carried forward through time.

@mike d Yikes! Patreon is out for the ethics, but Google and UA-cam are good to go? ok.
Been in metal fabrication for about 20 years, but never tried blacksmithing. Just might need to get back to the real fabrication of metal.
Oh and thanks for the video, need to subscribe to a shieldmaidens story.
give it a try
What music is this? I love it just as much as your smithcraft 🙂
