    The garden scene turned surreal. I felt as though I was watching a scene from Star Wars or another sci fi film. Colonist guy on another planet out checking his crops as a robot trundles by tending to the more mundane task of trimming the verge! The mix of your old world knowledge and skills mingling with the use of advanced technology, performing a menial chore, is kind of a minor mind blow! I love your videos.

    This channel is just amazing. The product has a soul a very talented Thunder Bear made this from hot steel and a hammer. The most amazing part is the precision that you have with a hammer. I just enjoy watching watching not only the backsmithing but the total care put into everything.

    Mr Blacksmith, you have made yet again, another very enjoyable video. Your shop is wonderful, the landscape of your home is beautiful and your craftsmanship is ever improving. I enjoyed the video very much and the boiled linseed oil at the end had given me a small laugh. It is a very good quality that one would have in them to make content which is so simple yet astoundingly good hearted. I enjoy your channel because it is one place where Good is and where there is only relaxation.
    My thanks and cheers to you, i look forward to the next video.

      New to your channel about 3 weeks ago and very slowly I'm working thru your archive, one at a time (sometimes over again before the next) like savoring the mashed potatoes and gravy part of my meal... being careful not to binge and miss out on the full flavor.
      It's not the place But the journey... it's not the finished piece but the tap tap tap in between with the beauty being rooted in the process - watching how you think... so easily that comes across
      Each and every piece emanates some bit of soul as well the videos do themselves.
      You are leaving a fine library of work not just for your viewers but for your children and someday theirs as well.
      Fortune be to those friends and loved ones with you in their life

    It strikes me (See what I did there?) that a major skill in smithing is understanding the volume of metal you are working with. At an academic level I get that the volume is easily determined mathematically, but to have the sense of how much metal to leave on that bar on either side of the clanger, so that it can be drawn out without any waste is pretty amazing to me.

    Pretty job. You always use boiled linseed oil, is there any reason why? When I was at school the metalwork teacher usually went for dirty engine oil to give the steel a semi weather-proof blue finish. May I suggest that when you produce these videos you them a difficulty rating. Your anvil really is a credit to you, simple measures to prevent unnecessary damage. Thanks for posting.
