About me:
Hi! My name is Philip and one of the people behind Lufolk. I have always been interested in the simple things in life. When I look back on history I get inspired and fascinated by the people who came up with all the smart solutions to make our everyday life easier. What you can accomplish with a few tools and great skills is impressive. The first time I got that feeling: I made this! This will be useful! Was when I made a wooden spoon as a kid. And think that was the start, I have ever since been interested in making things.

I love this camera setup, it's nice to see it from multiple angles.
Thank you for your feedback!
I have only forge welded the end of a fire poker. I got a long ways to go. I really enjoy watching you do this forge welding & explaining the process. I got to keep at it... Thanks for the great video! From Southeast Minnesota.

i have been told that you want to upset the material before you scarf, i have a question though ,. how do i correct any bending that occurs during upsetting without compromising the upset?
It you want to keep the dimensions, let's say you weld two 10 x 10 mm bar, then you might want to upset the material, otherwise the bar can be slightly thinner at the weld.
You can have the end that you upset "outside" the anvil, like 1 cm over the edge. Then when you straighten the bar it won't affect the end. Doesn't always work but it's worth a try 🙂
@@lufolkcrafts Could this be used for cosmetic as well as practical uses such as making a tool or ornimental purposes?
@@lufolkcrafts I will definetley give it a go . My shop is 80% Non electric, the majority of my tooling and equipment is from the late 1800s to the mid 1930s. Plus i use hardwood charcoal. Its hard to find good coal where i live and with the charcoal , i can make my own at home. Plus , from my research of anciant blacksmithing, ive found that Charcoal was the main fuel. Freedom & History Captured :)
