    My old boss was really good friends with Robert and he flew up to Chicago right before nomma awards meeting and they forged a chess set from bronze and mild steel. It was really cool seeing Robert work and help forge an entire chess set crazy!

    Absolutely beautiful. I was on the fence about the Smithey carbon steel wok... mostly due to the price, but after watching this I intend to purchase the entire Smithey carbon steel product line (farmhouse skillet, wok, party pan, round roaster, and oval roaster). Like they say, "You get what you pay for." And I'm at a point in which I only want to buy pots and pans (once) that last a lifetime. I'd already transitioned to cast iron (about 3 yrs ago) and am now ready to add-on carbon steel.

    • @mechanicalman1068
      @mechanicalman1068 2 роки тому

      You know what, most of the time you do get what you pay for, but not here. You’re paying for well paid American hand work, but the end product won’t really be better than something less expensive, at least not functionally. If that’s what you’re in to, cool. Functionally, it’s carbon steel. Nothing special. I got some fancy pans but ended up liking the Balerini one I bought on Amazon for like $35 the best. Again, it’s just steel, nothing special. And if you don’t treat them right and really nurture the seasoning, any carbon steel ban is going to just plain suck. You need more than whatever seasoning they put on it at the factory.

    • @DamienGWilson
      @DamienGWilson 2 роки тому +3

      @@mechanicalman1068 I agree... it's just steel and it's performance isn't better than any other carbon steel pan. However, I'm a sentimental guy. I just love great craftsmanship, not to mention American-made products that tell a story beyond the product itself.

    • @mechanicalman1068
      @mechanicalman1068 2 роки тому

      @@DamienGWilson I couldn’t agree more. I’ve got lots of stuff like that, tools in particular, and that’s what pans are. Our tools are often much more than just utilitarian items. My kitchen is bad enough, but as a carpenter, I’ve got thousands invested in tools that feel better and which I love, but which don’t necessarily do the job better.
      Anyway, I just try not to mix up my practical and emotional judgement. Both are valid, but confusing them can get you in trouble. Knowing which is which, I think, can lead to even greater appreciation and enjoyment. And yes, made in America matters. Enjoy the pans! They are beautiful.

      @mechanicalman1068 5 місяців тому

      @@Sunny31310 I’d push back on that. They are not pieces of art. They are pieces of craft. Craft is the utilization of skill, care and attention in the effort to produce quality utilitarian objects. It has a value and honor separate from art. I don’t like to confuse art with craft because, being a craftsman myself, I believe using the word “art” for something that is craft denigrates both. My cheap pan, which will work just as well, is a soulless industrial product and is unlikely to be an heirloom. This pan is craft, and as such has soul and is imbued with humanity. It is a great candidate for heirloom status.
      That said, some of my treasured heirlooms are not necessarily heirloom worthy but I see them as such because of where they came from and how I acquired them.

    Could this be done at home on an English Wheel? How thick is the wok steel you are using?

    That has to be a $500 piece. It is an unfortunate truth that you can buy a fine chinese hand-made, carbon steel wok of a larger, more practical size, for $80 or less.

      I guess so, 1. It's handmade forge 2. Made in America.
      It's good craftsmanship I admire it, but for large scale production, why he just bought hydraulic pressing machine then aerospace hammer machine

      @@SuperGigaleon I wondered that too. But it’s probably just the amount of deformation the steel will tolerate without breaking. The process is called “cold working” and you cannot move steel very far in one motion via that process without tearing it.
      The alternative would probably be to heat up the blank in a forge or using magnetic induction and then draw it through a progressive series of dies. In high-volume production, these dies would be mounted in a long hydraulic press assembly with a conveyor system carrying the blanks from one die to the next between each press. It might even require a 2-stage pressing where there’s a second heating between pressings.
      There is also a different type of process called “metal spinning” where a lathe can be used to form curves into flat metal. But machine tools are somewhat antithetical to a blacksmith’s process aesthetic-not to say a smithy wouldn’t have a manual milling machine, for instance. But a gigantic and outrageously expensive dual-spindle CNC lathe that would probably be necessary to spin those woks reliably -an ultra-precision modern machine tool like that has no place in a smithy.
      So you’re looking at a relatively small, reliable machine that fits easily into a fixed-size workshop, which can be purchased via a payment plan from a machine tool vendor who will deliver it directly to you. It’s practical for a small shop to own and can be used for other shop work. And yes it is relatively quite slow and requires a skilled human to operate. But probably the only real alternatives are a sheet metal die-forming factory or a production CNC machine shop. Hand-forging the whole process isn’t an option at US labor rates.

      Alot of the weight is probably on that solid handle. Thats why many commercial woks use thin walled tubes for handles.

      It is called “carbon steel” in the cooking world in order to differentiate it from stainless steel or cast iron. In the blacksmithing world, we just refer to it as mild steel.
