Awesome video Will!!!!! Thank you again for coming all the way out to Maryland! It was a fantastic time and your demo rocked!!! Blessings to you my friend!
Since your Hammer came from a shop Eureka, I think it would be most appropriate to make loggers Peeling Bar with it as your first project!! These were all made by local Blacksmiths to supply loggers in the woods with a topl capable of removing the thick layer of bark from the Giant Redwood Trees. The woodsman doing the peeling would stand on top of the Log (sometimes double their height or more) and work the bar down through the bark and peel off one side at a time. They a very distinctive but similar to a prybar. About 5ish feet tall with an angled ,tapered and sharp blade. The shaft is Octagonal tapering up about 18 inches where it goes round. The round shaft tapers gradually ending in a small ball end for comfort in the hand while putting downward pressure. You can probably see images online and even view old logging photos of them in use!
You should make a tiny anvil at your shop and send it to Bobby Duke for him to make his tiny swords on. He has a tiny anvil but I'm not sure it's heavy enough, since he was hammering on a vise in his last tiny knife video.
Have a great time in Maryland, you're going there at a great time of the year. Multiple color on the trees but nothing like the wild west where you are - a lot of people. Stay safe and have a day.
Awesome stuff Will Stelter. Can't wait to see your shop up and running properly. Would love to see you make a Damascus pick axe, think it would look really cool. Keep up the good work.
I worked at a forging shop in the Fingerlakes of NY . I used to pick up overtime as 3rd helper in the hammer shop on one of the hammers . I was the the guy holding the peg , and throwing the saddle up on the die . I remember it being much faster . Hard work !
Will have to watch the forging of the anvil again, I had thoughts of making one myself just for fun. Wish you could have shown more of the steam hammer and the operator's controls. Thanks, Will for taking us along and sharing.👍👏⚒
I came for the Damascus stuff but I really do love the large tool restoration stuff too. Learning the intricacies of how that stuff works is totally fulfilling, thank you for all your hard work!
Idea: a whole series on a cutlery set! Chef’s knife, bread knife, bone knife, filet knife, pairing knife, steak knives, carving knife, meat cleaver, and whatever others i might be missing. Make a custom knife block at the end.
I agree with the earlier post of a distinctive makers mark. And a new hammer for the new shop with the new makers mark. It's a tool that will feature in nearly every video.
Very amazing opportunity for you will. Very nice job. They turned out very well there. Hopefully you get great use out of them will. Can't wait to see more videos. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend Will. Forge on. Keep making. God bless.
Glad to see you are doing so well. Been watching since before Alec moved to our beautiful state. You both are extremely talented and I can’t wait to see what you have in store. I think you should do something distinctly Montanan.
Great video Will,l too love big old machines. I have just finished getting a line shaft running off an antique gas engine in my small blacksmith shop. Was really impressed with the huge hammer.
I would love to see you make some fine detailed woodworking tools. Maybe a set of timber framing chisels? Maybe a colab with Wrangestar? How about a crosscut saw? Or an axe would also be cool!
Nah! Will is a talented, humble, polite, honest and humble young man with a bright future ahead of him. Codey of Wranglerstar however is the most self righteous, self obsessed, narrow minded, sexist, arrogant, needy clickbait posting, religious fanatic dishonest guy on UA-cam.
@@sally6457 don't fully agree, don't completely disregard. But Cody is a good woodworker with a Big Chanel. Cody enjoys blacksmithing and a colab could be helpful to Wills Chanel. I think it was Cody that mentioned Alec in a video that introduced me to him. Also Cody has mentioned that quality woodworking tools are hard to find and I think Will could make them in an enjoyable video! Just because you disagree with someone doesn't necessarily mean you can't work with them for a short period. Only my opinion, please don't take offense as none was intended.
Between Matthias Wandel, Rex Krueger and numerous other geniunely smart, friendly and funny individuals who do woodworking......why the **** pick cody......
You should make a Lithuanian Szabla, it's like a scimitar, but different. I lived in Lithuania for a while a couple years ago and some of the historic weapons that they have there are really interesting. Most people don't know that the Lithuanian empire stretched across most of Eastern Europe and was larger than the Ottoman empire as well.
I really hope it's gonna be a running gag to just have Will show up in places. Other youtube videos, in the background of photos, at events... it's just Will. He's just there. :D
Fun field trip Will. 😅👍 Wewd enjoy seeing more like this, very interesting. I enjoy the feed back they get from the blacksmith on Oak Island. Seems like a real character too. So much history in the field. Thanks Will. Happy Turkey Day. 🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🥳
As far as big projects you can’t do much bigger than what Michael Cthulhu does There’s gotta be some way to work together with him, just to make something absolutely ridiculous in size I know you can do it!
I have a smaller anvil... I think it’s a Jewellers anvil since it’s made of cast bronze, and it’s tiny, I could fit 2 in the palm of my hand. I do have large hands though. But yeh, no clue what it was for, I got it from my great great grandmother
I love when you share your beliefs on your videos, especially the verse on your shirt. Obviously it's from Matthew 22:39 when Jesus said "Hippity hoppity get off my property."
Cool that you got to hang with all those guys Will, and went to a shop I'd love to spend 20k in(Coal Iron Forge), keep up the great work! And happy Thanksgiving!
Howdy Will, wow what a fantastic trip! Those were the awesome travel destinations if you ask me. I would go nutz on a cruise, but making things? With craftsmen? Awww yeah, the best.
Hey Will! Not sure if he was there or not this year but you should meet my grandfather Jim. Would be cool to see a video of the kind of hardware and stuff he makes
The coolest thing i whud like to se is if you travel to Sweden and check out when thay make anvils. Like the one you got 👍. Maby make a vikingsword of your own 👍

Hey will I can see you are a man of many vises...
We had a blast! Wish we had more time! We have to do it again sometime real soon!
6:39 this guy has not only mastered the art of blacksmithing, but apparently he also knows how to make clones

It was great to have you brother! 🙌 Awesome video. Can’t wait to share what we filmed on the Coal Iron Works channel and what that steel is becoming 😉

That would be sick actually
Damn, that would be cool!

Who else thinks it’s time Will makes his own makers mark?
Yup, just doing his name was fine, but to move on, yup, he needs his own mark..
Fantastic Video !!! Loved having you at the shop my friend wish you nothing but the best!
Will have to watch the forging of the anvil again, I had thoughts of making one myself just for fun. Wish you could have shown more of the steam hammer and the operator's controls. Thanks, Will for taking us along and sharing.👍👏⚒
I came for the Damascus stuff but I really do love the large tool restoration stuff too. Learning the intricacies of how that stuff works is totally fulfilling, thank you for all your hard work!
I loved the slow motion and low light shots for forging the mini anvils and think that it really put the focus on the steel. Great idea!

I always find it cool to hear about the history of places like this that still exist. There's just too little time in this life to look at it all.
Fantastic history
Good to see you're doing great bro

Awesome Will to see you work with That works ! Two of my favorites ! So glad you are still into blacksmithing !
Glad to see you are doing so well. Been watching since before Alec moved to our beautiful state. You both are extremely talented and I can’t wait to see what you have in store.
I think you should do something distinctly Montanan.
That big hammer was super impressive. How about a Damascus mini anvil like you made in this episode. Maybe you could auction it off after.
Love your videos, brother! Enjoy your trip.
Making one of those stone hammers would be cool.
Great! Good to see you again Will. Love your work and your approach to your audiance.
Great video Will,l too love big old machines. I have just finished getting a line shaft running off an antique gas engine in my small blacksmith shop. Was really impressed with the huge hammer.
Very nice Will!
Awesome roadtrip video Will. What a great experience. Love it.
I hope you keep up the fan work.
First project ideas… you could try making a Persian dagger or a traditional Tanto; something unfamiliar, but not too unfamiliar.
That anvil has a powerful texture...
You could do throwing knives, a folding knife, or a hunting knife with a custom scabbard
I would love to see you make some fine detailed woodworking tools. Maybe a set of timber framing chisels? Maybe a colab with Wrangestar? How about a crosscut saw? Or an axe would also be cool!

A HUGE KITCHEN KNIFE keep up the great work will

8:42 Those are the hands of a real grafter! Hahahaha, cuts, calluses and dirt!
I wish i could be involved in one of your videos. So many experiences and travels that could fill multiple lifetimes
I'd love to se a series on a set of kitchen knives made to a high standard
I get excited every time I get the notification that Will released a new video
Thank you for sharing
That is one impressive press...
Once you finally get your power hammer and other machine tools up and running, i would love to see a falchion, an old school medieval sword
Awesome video Will and some great equipment! I haven't seen a damascus shovel done before?
So damm good to catch up on all of what you been doing and nice to see you shine for your talents and not be pushed aside
your furst project for the power hammer shuld be a Damascus door nob
soli Deo gloria - awesome!! I respect the strength of character in a man who can put this forward front and center.
Wow, that's HAMMER TIME! with that monster steam hammer. Great video Will, thumbs up.
Great collabs! Really interesting to see!
I really hope it's gonna be a running gag to just have Will show up in places. Other youtube videos, in the background of photos, at events... it's just Will. He's just there. :D
Like the garden Gnome in Amelie, except smaller, obviously 😆
Awesome work man. This is one of my favorite channels on yt easily.
Fun field trip Will. 😅👍
Wewd enjoy seeing more like this, very interesting. I enjoy the feed back they get from the blacksmith on Oak Island. Seems like a real character too. So much history in the field.
Thanks Will. Happy Turkey Day. 🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🥳
Wonderful video of the amazing history of this trade.
Didn't know Indiana has a steam hammer still chooching
Good to some content Will! As always, very enjoyable!
Project idea: Damascus cutlery.
Very awesome vid, Will. Maybe you could, once your al set up, make a sword of your own design?
I was just looking at some small anvils for my garage
I really wouldn't mind a anvil like that one. I keep debating trying to make a mini one thats hardy hole mounted but I don't have a power hammer
start @2:20
As far as big projects you can’t do much bigger than what Michael Cthulhu does
There’s gotta be some way to work together with him, just to make something absolutely ridiculous in size I know you can do it!
Damn, I want a lamp that looks like a glowing cube of steel... That looks waaaay too cool
Always excited to see a video from you! If I could pick a youtuber to spend a few days with it would definitely be you.
Fun video Will. Those little anvils are adorable. I started out forging on something about that size. Creates a different set of challenges ;)
That hydraulic press press confused the hell out of me. Wasn't until the third time that I realised I was right the base moves not the ram.
A one piece socketed trident.
love love love love love jeep it up,Hugs
Wish I had known you were in Indiana! Probably a good idea not letting people know paparazzi and all…. Loving the channel keep it up Will!
A Damascus Tanto knife would be awesome
Yessss, I’ve been patiently waiting for your next upload 😊
Nice work Will! Cool frog shirt too.
I have a smaller anvil... I think it’s a Jewellers anvil since it’s made of cast bronze, and it’s tiny, I could fit 2 in the palm of my hand. I do have large hands though. But yeh, no clue what it was for, I got it from my great great grandmother
Dang son! You have become a real professional presenter! Good work.
I am like the way you visit other blacksmiths.
I love when you share your beliefs on your videos, especially the verse on your shirt. Obviously it's from Matthew 22:39 when Jesus said "Hippity hoppity get off my property."
He has a sweet workshop!!
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Looks like an awesome trip man
Great video Will! Best wishes for a happy Thanksgiving.
Awesome shirt, Will. Very apt!!! 💪🏻
Cool that you got to hang with all those guys Will, and went to a shop I'd love to spend 20k in(Coal Iron Forge), keep up the great work! And happy Thanksgiving!
Will, the hammer you are playing with at 9:15 is used for what?
Glad you came east.
Oh my goodness, why do you always have the funniest shirts? What a great sense of humor.
Howdy Will, wow what a fantastic trip! Those were the awesome travel destinations if you ask me. I would go nutz on a cruise, but making things? With craftsmen? Awww yeah, the best.
Big Hammer Stelter
Hey Will! Not sure if he was there or not this year but you should meet my grandfather Jim. Would be cool to see a video of the kind of hardware and stuff he makes
I see you picked your shirt specifically for this ad XD
Fro, adz, draw knife any of these would float my boat.
I'd be happy to see you make a Damascus Bowie knife. 👍
Looked like a really fun trip man 👍
Cool!
So happy you aren’t making torture devices.
Awesome stuff
You have a real vice when it comes to spending money. I’ll let myself out.
Happy Thanksgiving Will. Keep up the great work!🦃🦃🦃
The coolest thing i whud like to se is if you travel to Sweden and check out when thay make anvils. Like the one you got 👍. Maby make a vikingsword of your own 👍
Your shirt is hilarious! Also you should make a bush axe. I bet your version would look super cool.
A small utility knife, for doing everything.. (they are about the size of a parring knife, but thicker blade and a bit stubbier in length)
When you think the only kind of Damascus steel is the crucible steel but literally everyone else thinks it's just when the steel has patterns
