Thank you, be safe, and be grateful.
do you think its structurally sound? that candle is pretty big. you might consider adding some gusset plates to keep it from collapsing and maybe some guy wires to keep it from tipping over. it looks like it might be light weight!
Keep the videos coming, they are great.
Great now I have a torch holder who would've thought. Thanks
it looks great! please continue blacksmithing, it' enjoyable.
Great job. Beautiful!
My wife and I love watching your videos. Keep up the good work. Is there a chance you would ever make any sort of blacksmithing basics for anyone who may try to pick it up as a part time project?
I second this 100%
Yes, this would be great.
At 4:40:
*"When you make something for someone you love, and give it to them, in a very real way you keep it forever."*
Not sped up, he just had a lot of coffee that morning.
lol must've drank a couple red bulls with it
I'd just like to say how much I am enjoying your videos. You present very well and it's a pleasure to spend time with you. Thank you.
Michael Birchall I second that... God has truly blessed this man!!!
That is absolutely a thing of beauty. I can almost feel the heft of it and it's durability and supurb craftsmanship are readily apparent. Well done.
I am not a blacksmith, but have been interested in smithing since I was young, this just makes me want to get into it even more.
I am an artist and often create paintings as gifts for friends and family, my mom chief among the recipients of said paintings. That part about creating something for a loved one that you essentially keep it forever, that brought a tear to my eye. Love your channel. Thank you for making such wonderful and informative content. You are a joy to watch and have a fount of knowledge for us to absorb. Thank you again.
In addition to holding massive candles, it can also weigh down your house to keep it in place in case of some sort of natural disaster
Great project and an excellent watch! I always love when your videos pop up as they never disappoint!
Awesome! Only request ... more of such projects. Lots to learn. Fascinated with the power hammer being used as a clamp. Makes sense but was an "out side the box" moment for me. Great videos Scott. Thanks!
Having made a chef's knife (my first) for my son in law this past Christmas, I found your comments about doing a project for a loved one to be very true indeed. I even mentioned it in the note to him with the gift, which was itself a gift. Yours is the first observation of this kind I've heard on youtube. Thanks!
Really terrific videos. I’m a weekend warrior DIYer and really enjoy picking up the pearls found in each of your videos. Please keep it going.
Nice work! Who is your camera man?
I really enjoy watching a true craftsman at work. Please do more blacksmithing videos.
Very nice Scott, wonderful piece!
I agree with your sentiment, we'll said.
I would like to add that my focus and personal investment in a project are greatly shaped by who the recipient is. I always try to do my best on commission work, but I don't always put my soul into it. But when I make something for a friend or loved one, and it's a surprise, I put more of myself into it. The drive and focus are personal, and it shows.....at least to me.
Wow that is a great present you made for your daughter-in-law I just hope it didn't start any family feuds
"It was a spectacularly good project for several reasons, primarily ..." I expected you to end the sentence "because I got to use the majority of the tools in my shop" :-)
That looks like a big candle. What are the dimensions of the candle?
As I am trying to go back and watch ALL of your videos, I happened upon this one.
We have moved many times and have never thrown out everything we should have. We agreed to stop collecting things... but well as a remarried widower I am not so adamant about some things this time around. This is my second chance to be kinder, gentler in marriage. But I still have the feelings that are now called minimalist -- to some degree.
SO! You said you were going to make a giant candle holder. I nearly groaned. However, I enjoyed watching you build it. And I am in huge agreement about making something for someone you love.
By the time I got to the end of the video I was all in your camp.
The candle holder is beautiful. I hope your daughter in law and her hubs see this vodeo.
I know what gifts mean to me, which is a lot.
They are in a wonderful family. I trust she will appreciate this gift hugely! Perhaps with a tear or two.
Welcome Michael and Thank You!!!
Nice work, like the videos. Had to be at least a half million dollars worth of equipment used there.
Enjoyed...great vid....went with my buddy yesterday and picked up a Little Giant hammer
Thanks for turning me on to this channel Chuck. It's great.
Keeping it real with the bucket!

I would like to get to know you, as a person, better. As well as Nathan, Mrs. Essential craftsman, &
All the e.c.s too. I was doing mental health therapy in the 60s. & the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, & 10s. I am more comfortable learning from someone that I knew better. Part 2. Perhaps it is my tectonic DNA, but it would be easier to track your videos if they were numbered. I love everything you have out & am always looking for more. Please keep it up.
Wow! incredibly stunning piece. the riveted on pieced look great on that! please keep the videos coming!
For a rookie, you do remarkable work. Mind you, when you've been working around and with tools all your life, you only have to overcome the steel and not the equipment too. I agree completely with the difference regarding gifts and commissions. Blessings! Keep forging!
Your goodness is killing me, Scott. How wonderful to speak eloquently about making gifts for those you love, a daughter-in-law. While familial love has become a joke to much of society, you prove it is alive and can be nurtured by intentional giving.
Wow, by the thumb nail I was expecting a small piece so was pleasantly surprised with the outcome ! Very nice !
My oldest son gave my wife and I a floor model of a LARGE candle holder years ago and it has a 8 inch wide by 10 inches tall candle with three wicks .
We hardly ever burned it for fear of not being able to find another candle that size !
Thanks for sharing and take care.
When doing something for a loved one it's like putting a little bit of your soul into it because it was done with TLC. Tender Loving Care. Nice work - I enjoyed it very much.
Superb video. Thoughtful commentary. It would be nice not to have so much of this sped up, as watching you work metal is a rich experience.
When I first saw the post I thought that's a nice "little" candle holder. Man you must be the most loved Dad , G Dad , and father in law in the whole county.! You sure set the bar pretty high, how you going to keep the peace in the family now, what's next? No way I'm I going to let my wife watch your videos , I can hear it now, "I want one " .lol it's very nice and will be part of the family forever nice to hear your comment , well stated .
I recently found your channel and have watched almost every video. It's fantastic! Keep it up. Also, a proper tour of your shop would be most welcome. It looks like an adult Disneyland in there.
Wow! If it doesn't work out as a candle holder, it should work to support the car while changing tires.
That is a wonderful candle holder. Quite a few novel techniques employed in the build. And I agree that a home crafted gift is something to be loved & cherished, by the builder and the recipient.
Great video. I can't wait for the next one.
Absolutely beautiful work! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
Really subtle (yet sophisticated) design. A priceless work of art. Great job.
Nicely done- I am sure she loved it as will many generations of your family :-)
Just a question: wouldn't a convenient separate holder for your torch eliminate any issues about the anvil safety?
Beautiful job sir. You and I carry such similar interests....except you are actually able to carry yours out. Some day for me. Good for you !
Nice project, your right about homemade gifts vs producing something your getting paid for.
Love all your videos but I'd rather it be :20-:30 minutes long instead of all the fast forward stuff.
You sir are inspiring. The only thing better than your work is your teaching. If you are looking for video ideas, I would love to see one on how you built your welding table and the post crane as well. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, and keep up the good work!
Your video captured so many great techniques and skill sets - great and keep them coming. Thanks again.
Wonderful video as always. Glad to see that you look at this as both a craft as well as artistic expression! I'm sure there are too many people who do metal work for the commission only, and it seems to be so much more. I want to second Dylan Franz's request for blacksmithing basics, I think it'd be great to see a series of videos on that!
I really enjoy your videos, and part what makes them so enjoyable is that you can see and hear the passion you have for your work and I thought it was a lovely touch to explain the different mindsets you have with a commissioned projects versus a more personal one.
If I could make one request, and this might be more of a personal preference, it would be to not speed up your footage so much! Part of the charm of watching a skilled craftsman do his or her work is to see the item take shape and see how different techniques affect the process. Pause and show the result of a specific step and explain how you did it!
Looking forward to your next video!
Great project. It will be talked about with great love and respect for years to come. Take care from Newfoundland.
Hey there, your Daughter in law can also throw that at someone for self defense! As far as the torch, I love my gas saver. There is a “candle” that can burn all day and all you have to do is lift up your torch, waive it over the candle and your back heating, when done, hang it up and flow shuts down until your ready again, saves gas and is safe. You deserve such a tool more than me but you can’t have mine!
Great work you should be on discovery channel blacksmiths of America.
excellent craftsmanship! awesome use of the power hammer as a clamp. another reason to build a air hammer!
thank you for taking the time for making the video. I very much enjoyed it.
Very nice! I am so glad to have found your channel... you are an inspiration to watch, and to listen to! May God continue to bless you!
Nice candle older. As you were forming the legs I initially wondered if you were building a glass top end-table for a family room. A larger version of that same pattern would make a nice one!!
Great video. If you do more of these in the future, would you consider also uploading a version that isnt sped up? I would gladly watch 1hr+ of footage to see a project come together.
Awesome idea comes to beautiful fruition!! Glad I found yer channel!!!
Beautiful
Very nice work keep the video's coming,,Thank you and God Bless
I find your metal working table with all the holes in it fascinating - don't think I've seen that before.
Is your shop floor a solid concrete slab underneath? Or is it "loose" with the stones on top which then lets you concrete any new equipment into place when needed?
Beautiful. That would absolutely be the centerpiece on my dinning room table.
I so very much enjoy your channel. Your shop, your work, and your ethic are wonderful. I try hard not to envy others but, just saying. R
What a great looking piece. Your daughter in-law is very lucky. I really enjoyed the style of this video and hope to see more like this in the future.
Beautiful work, design and effort. Hope your daughter in law like it as much as you did making it
You have amazing skills and an awesome shop.
Would like to see a detailed video on your hand operated pattern torch you were using briefly in this video to burn the circle.
fooled me i thought the holder was made out of old horseshoes
Very nice video, I'm very interested in doing blacksmithing/woodworking, any tips for someone whose never done anything of the sort on how to get started?
That project came out fantastic! Is there any chance that you'll make a video on making your own touch mark punch?
Its in ✔ DiResta format i like it 👍🏼 😄
Great work Scott, Well done, I like to see more..
beautiful things you make. it give me big dreams. thanks to you for movie clips.
Beautiful piece my dad was a blacksmith for over fifty years he's 70 now and now he does it only for fun or to teach me I love this way of life thanks for a wonderful video
Nice piece of work. :) That was a big candle do you think the holder is strong enough ;)
Really cool, glad to have found this channel as an aspiring carpenter as well, you have some great tips I find myself using all the time
Please stop speeding up the video. Makes it very difficult to follow along.
Did not you was a blacksmith as well as a carpenter, You do beautiful work.
who's anvil is that? YOURS! you know how to handle it, I thought it was a great safe way to set your torch down.
As always nice job! I don't have a shop right now so your channel helps ease the void. 😊
Great project! Really enjoyed watching this process!
Never a mistake, only happy accidents. ~Bob Ross
What a great gift that is heirloom quality ,in an hundred years it will still feasible be in the family and just as well you know what I mean
Great piece of work Scot, you should be proud of that....👍
absolutely beautiful craftsmanship my friend!
🏴☠Arrrrg that thing be able t' handle the weight of a candle.🏴☠
Great video! I like the sped up format like Diresta uses. Atleast on projects. Helps cram the whole build in a shorter video. Keep up the great work.
Using UA-cam settings you can go 2x faster than normal.
Thanks for the video. Fun to watch and a beautiful piece.
I love your videos, thanks for putting them together.
Keep up the good work. I love watching your videos.
Really beautiful. Thanks for sharing it.
Great video love finding channels that show the whole process!
wow pretty cool man. I dont think u can buy that @ a home decorating outlet
could someone educate me on the paste wax? i assume it applies some kind of finish to the metal?
Every nice build. Was that a cnc mill in the shop?
beautiful, and that had some gravity built in!
Very nice, would like to see more of this kind of video thx
Fantastic video, I can't wait to see more projects!
I was waiting to see what it was. I wanted it to be a surprise
Power Hammer/Vise. I like that!
You are one Hell of a talented guy. And entertaining at the same time.
Very nice design looking forward to more
are you sure that hammer isn't too heavy for you? ;)
Beautiful. Wish I had the space and talent.
amazing and yes a made item for a loved one is so special
Amazing Job!. The Precision of this piece is spectacular, amazing work sir! I enjoyed watching this start to finish project.
The time you take to share you and your family/friend's knowledge of craftsmanship and natural living is truly appreciated. It's essential(sorry for the pun) that future generations maintain the skills and wisdom of hand-craftsmanship.
