This sounds great. Bringing more people into Blacksmith and Bladesmith I'm a Blacksmith hobbyist for 5th year and this sounds great to start with give more beginners a chance to test the waters
It depends what type of blades you want to make, I found Alexander Weygers - the complete modern blacksmith helpful as it was aimed towards woodcarving tools
I do have considered selling them but they are very fragile and would need very careful packing to make sure they arrive intact. For now I'll leave those sales to people set up for that sort of shipping.
Shouldn't à mask to protect from the insulation dust be worn. Some insulation is dangerous as for cancer. I'd have on my mask. What's the size of the large bricks.
As Zed says, I wear masks for most of my working day, virtually all dust is potentially bad for your health. These bricks though are alumina silicate and don't contain ceramic fibres like some insulation materials, so are as far as I am aware not something that needs extra precautions.
Thanks for doing these videos they are fantastic. I would like to have a go at making a forge as I want to try making some hook tools and possibly a sloyd knife - I have a propane cylinder and reg but don’t have a propane torch any suggestions of what would be the cheapest thing that would do the trick? Thanks for any advice
Thank you for your kind words and to hear you found these videos useful,. Regarding a propane torch, they are fairly inexpensive to purchase and are readily available both online and in DIY stores ~Peace~
Thanks zed and nick for the videos. Ihave a question for Nick: Is the placement of the burner / injector a tangential in the video. So the flame hits the top of the forge first? Would you recommend this also for larger cylindrical forges? What other angles do you find suitable to get even heat distribution and to avoid cold and hot spots?
It's not quite at a tangent, but it's approaching it, so the flame wraps ( spirals ) around the chamber. I do all this by eye as to some extent the velocity of the flame will affect the optimal angle. You can always tweak the entry hole as I did.

Most definitely! ~Peace~
Question to Nic. At around 7.20. If you had a hammer, would you hammer in the morning? Would you hammer in the evening? All over this land?
Hopefully Nic will answer your question when he see's it ~Peace~
No, I'd be too busy hammering out danger and warnings 😊
@@nicwestermann4206 Thanks for clearing that up. I'd imagine love between brothers and sisters is @Zedoutdoors' particular department. 🙂
Does it matter what kind of gas you use on the torch?
Hopefully Nic will answer your question when he see's it ~Peace~
Propane or butane would be fine, I use propane.. Oxy / Fuel or Mapp would as well but would be much more expensive to run .
Perfect, my bricks just arrived last week.
No time like the present.
Thank you Nic and Zed.
Thats awesome Scott, hope this video helps you in building your very own forge! ~Peace~
Thanks guys. I appreciate your time to make these and willingness to share your knowledge & experience. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Appreciate your kind words David and the next series of videos with Nic will be out this coming week ~Peace~
Thanks Zed for making these videos and mega thanks to Nic for sharing your knowledge! Looking forward to making my own 2.5 brick forge!
Appreciate your kind words my friend and best of luck with making your own! ~Peace~
PS just started a build of my own. What books would Nick revommend for bladesmithing / blacksmithing?
I got recommended this book as a good start - www.amazon.co.uk/How-Make-Knives-Richard-Barney/dp/087341389X
It depends what type of blades you want to make, I found Alexander Weygers - the complete modern blacksmith helpful as it was aimed towards woodcarving tools
Very interesting and informative. Where do you get the firebricks from please? They are not on the website . Cheers . Jim
Thank you Jim, the fire bricks are readily available online depending on where you live ~Peace~
I do have considered selling them but they are very fragile and would need very careful packing to make sure they arrive intact. For now I'll leave those sales to people set up for that sort of shipping.
Cool, got some bricks Like that n a torch ....will make me one Like that.thx for Sharing
Very cool! best of luck buddy and many thanks for watching ~Peace~
thank you zed for the nice show .we need that kind of stuff in the new reset 2040 ,.Peace
Appreciate you watching and for the kind words ~Peace~
such a helpful video! thanks for sharing your skills
would it be possible to use the thermocouple in a charcoal forge?
Thank you so much Vicky, if you get the metal thermocouple from 'Hewn & Hone' then yes it should be fine in a charcoal forge ~Peace~
Yes it will work, but its better to use a baffle in the forge and put the thermocouple in that. Both are on the H&H site
@@nicwestermann4206 ok, thanks for replying
What a great teacher ❤
Isn't he just ~Peace~
Most informative. Thanks.
Thank you so much Jerry ~Peace~
Shouldn't à mask to protect from the insulation dust be worn.
Some insulation is dangerous as for cancer. I'd have on my mask.
What's the size of the large bricks.
Hi John, Nic usually wears a mask when doing this and the only reason he didn't in this video was to able to speak while filming ~Peace~
As Zed says, I wear masks for most of my working day, virtually all dust is potentially bad for your health. These bricks though are alumina silicate and don't contain ceramic fibres like some insulation materials, so are as far as I am aware not something that needs extra precautions.
