Clicked on this to watch and see what Sparks Motors was up to, but I got an explanation of blacksmithing that gave me a whole new level of appreciation for the fantastic work that Andrew and his wife do! Forged in Fire touches on some of it, but they haven't ever explained it as clearly and precisely as Andrew did in this clip.
Andrew and his family are true craftsmen!!! Everything they made was unique and special..but the best part .was seeing Dave's Mom..smile and the tears when she read the inscription...what a Blessing you guys are ..thank you...for sharing..that 5ton spring!!
The end of the video when you presented “The Bill” to Dave’s Mother brought tears to this old Vietnam Veterans eyes. I found it fascinating that he used the phrase “you’re one of the good guys”. I have found myself using the same phrase over the years with people I think are worthy. Some days they can be darned hard to find. 23rd Infantry Division “Americal” Chu Lai & Combat Support Base Vandergrift 1970-1971.
This was an awesome video! Great job guys! It was very touching seeing what you did for Heavy D and making that knife personal. It brought tears to my eyes. You guys are truly “one of the good guys.”
I have a whole new perspective on blacksmithing and all the time and work that goes into it Andrew is a beast at this and it’s honestly hard to believe he made those
Thank you for serving as well Travis. Sending some California love👊🙏😎 and the next 8-10 weeks will be long for me waiting to get my hands on mine but for a work of art its well worth it👊
Great idea, many tears. You all are doing good work. Thank you for sharing with us, it's the little things that count. Sparks mom will cherish that knife/momento forever!
What a way to give back. I love how they thought they would even compress a military truck spring lmao Edit: Andrew is just an amazing artist. Those tools are just absolutely beautiful.
Didn't anticipate tearing up today damn it. Fantastic video all around. You all find top notch people not only to make your products but to work along side. Hearts bigger than the planet, keep it up guys.
Having watched Alec Steele and Will Stelter and "Man At Arms: Reforged" for years it was kinda hilarious to me how oblivious the Sparks crew was to the basics of blacksmithing... 😂😁😇 But yeah, leaf springs and coil springs are a staple for bladesmiths for over a century now. High carbon steel makes good sharp blades - if the smith knows what he's doing. It's not just about smashing steel into form, it's also a lot about the knowledge of metallurgy. Heat treating and hardening through quenching are two critical things where the bladesmith has to know what happens inside the steel... 😉✌️
Thank you for your service to our USA! a Marine. Andrew has a nice place. The monkey is a cool mark. The scenery is so beautiful. Reminds me of where my parents grew up. Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all
Andrew, this one really touched me when you present the knife to Dave's mother. I served during Vietnam, and while the Abraham tank was tested for field readiness. It did not do so good out in the desert and i watched as it had to be towed in because the air filter clogged. It showed a lot of history in those knives, and I am proud to watch your show.
I was not surprised to see you and Dave on TV helping rescue people stuck in the snow in California. Dave being so helpful yet again to people he doesn't know, and the team of course. I just wanted to say thank you. Big fan from the UK. Thank you. XxX
That is awsome bro! Warms the heart to see good hearted red blooded Americans doing what we should all b doing. giving to bring joy to others without reward .to all the services. Thank you!!
That was friggin awesome. Bill sounded like a dude I would of loved to have met. I too am from a family of awesome men who served our country proud. One Grandfather served in Korea, I have Great Uncles who served in WW2, my uncles and Dad are Vietnam Vets. For a blacksmith let alone one that Served in the Corp to have made such beautiful blades is mind blowing.
This is very cool that you guys are doing this giveaway and at the end it made me cry seeing that Lisa Dave mom cry and be so appreciated what you guys did that was very cool . My son served in the military for 5 1/2 years for the army and he just got out now , and it’s my birthday on March 13 Monday and I would love to get a knife to give to my son it has a pieces of you guys from the shop and a piece of a military man making a knife with military stuff on it it has heart and soul in each and every knife their thank you guys for giving thought to the people like me and being a all around good guys . I watch everything about all of you with my boyfriend and I learn a lot about you guys and what you do thanks for sharing and entertaining everyone hugs to you all and I know your going to ask what’s my real name and yes it is sparkles that my real name Have a wonderful day 😊
Haha, I have a pile of springs I use in my forge.. Tho, I thing my husband wishes I would let him scrap some lol…. They make amazing tools, I reworked a few for forge tools, and knives.
I hope dave will let you show him getting his I love that you gave one to his mom I am sure she will never for get that and pretty sure you just earned free cookies for life keep it up fellas you all rock
Those knives look awesome tried to text it would not let me go through would love a knife with some inspiration from a hero of the sparks family and this country love what u guys do keep it coming not to u hater’s we tried to tell u Dave sparks is for real look at the family real honest down to earth folks love keep rocking it and god bless our vets 🇺🇸
Love it lol it's funny on Diesel Brothers Season 1 Episode 1 mussel received the same springs it was funny he tossed one on the ground now same springs he took to the blacksmith epic
Bet Allen can make it weld again! My dad had one and could weld soup cans together with it!! I remember helping him fix a leaky exhaust pipe by patching it like that. Back in the 70’s, we didn’t have snazzy wire-feed 110 units. Had to unplug mom’s dryer to plug in the welder!
That means so much to me that he built a knife handle with the material from Vietnam-era fatigues. There are fewer of us around now because of the things we were exposed to.
I follow a few recovery channels and others and it always blows my mind that they never wear eye protection when grinding, drilling, hammering steel on steel etc. I learned at a young age to wear safety glasses and I've seen what can happen if you don't.
Great now I am crying at work!!! The apple did not fall far from the tree even though I never met Bill his son and his son's tribe, you are all "one of the good guys!"
I remember I always look forward to Metal Shop in Highschool. There we had a forge, there we make simple tools like hammers, chisels and pliers we also sand casted items too. You video brought back some good memories.
It's called 5160 spring steel. I'm a professional bladesmith and blacksmith. I've used that stuff for almost 20 years. Good stuff for hard working knives or big choppers.
Hay guys just wanted to say yous went up and beyond on this one it hit home on alot of people they are beautiful knifes I know I would be over the moon if I had any of them who ever gets one is going to be one lucky and proud knowing the story behind it well done and the last part with Dave's mum that was heart warming to see well done peoples once again yous smashed it out of the park I take my hat of to yous " one of the good guys "love your work 👍🙏
Im sorry to hear about your loss friend. I look at it like this when we need an Angel God gives us the best. Another star shines brighter in the sky🙏🙏🙏
@@jessealvarado6939 everyone that knew my dad says that he’s up there trying to improve the gates because he was non stop working. At 69years old he bought a bunch of virgin heavy wooded land and cleared it leveled it and built a house on it. He did this by himself with a little help from me but he hated paying people to do work he could do lol he was a true bad ass at literally everything he did. So I’m sure he’s up there fixing something lol
Those are beautiful blades. I hope the winners will think of the PATRIOTS that have ,are ,and will protect this land we love every time they look at , show a freind, and use them. Thank you for supporting small businesses and helping to keep the American dream real.
Who else bought a knife wow 465 bucks later but happy to support a veteran and thankfully I quit smoking thats what I would spend each month and throwing it away. This is a reminder for me on why I quit👊🙏🙏🙏😎
@@SparksMotorsCo No need to thank me yall do enough for the world so this is my thanks to yall for who you all are and do for everyone straight up. Yall help a lot of people and by making this video yall showed love to another family and I am able to help a little since im sober and dont throw away money anymore👌👊🙏😎

100% Andrew is the man
Andrew is a true master of his craft, and from one Marine vet to another, Semper Fi!
Ooh-Rah fellow Devils!
Andrew and his family are true craftsmen!!! Everything they made was unique and special..but the best part .was seeing Dave's Mom..smile and the tears when she read the inscription...what a Blessing you guys are ..thank you...for sharing..that 5ton spring!!
The ending got me all teary-eyed! That was so sweet! Thank you all for the support you’ve shown us!
Andrew is a force of nature when it comes to forging, everything he makes is absolutely flawless🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for watching!
What an awesome gift for her and for Dave. It's great to have good friends/family.

Thank you for your service mr Andrew and anyone else who serves or served👊🙏😎
That's a great looking press you've got there Andrew 😉 thank you for your service brother. We're thrilled to be a part of your shop.

Had the pleasure of serving with Andrew, and I am also an owner of one of his knives. He's a great craftsman and a stand up guy!
Thank you for your service
Thank you for serving as well Travis. Sending some California love👊🙏😎 and the next 8-10 weeks will be long for me waiting to get my hands on mine but for a work of art its well worth it👊
As a knife collector, a small collection, those knives are beautiful!
You guys are some of the good guys. Awesome job!
This was a incredible gift for the Sparks family! You guys did a great thing!!
Awesome video, true patriots, and you made mama Sparks cry! What’a bunch a guys!
Great idea, many tears. You all are doing good work. Thank you for sharing with us, it's the little things that count. Sparks mom will cherish that knife/momento forever!
it's truly a dying art I'm glad to see some people are still doing blacksmithing
What a way to give back. I love how they thought they would even compress a military truck spring lmao
Edit: Andrew is just an amazing artist. Those tools are just absolutely beautiful.
You guys always make my Thursday a little better! Thankyou! Your videos are the best!
Didn't anticipate tearing up today damn it. Fantastic video all around. You all find top notch people not only to make your products but to work along side. Hearts bigger than the planet, keep it up guys.
What an awesome, fun, interesting video! To see and listen to a real blacksmith explain this process was great! Thank you guys for taking us along.
I have seen coffee table and bed legs made out of springs like that. Really cool🎉
The plasticity of steel is so interesting!! Feeling the metal move with your hammer blows is an incredible phenomenon!!! Forging is so exhilarating!!!
Definitely interesting to see this process

What a great sitting , revealing the knives with Andrew. Awesome project!
Andrew and family are true artist. The stealth knife rocks I liked the Bill knife also
The ending definitely made me start to tear up! Awesome knives guys! Would love to see the video when the knife was given to Dave!
All I can say is WOW great work y'all and thank you for your service brother oorah.
the blacksmith needs a UA-cam channel. He was awesome at explaining things. It would be fascinating watching his videos.
I thought the same thing
Awesome video! I love watching blacksmith's at work. Way to go Andrew. Those are some pretty knives.
This is by far one of my absolute favorite videos love it, especially when you surprised sparks mom awesome love her reaction
Absolutely incredible that we still have people willing to spend time learning an ancient craft in America 🇺🇸 Thank you
and THANK YOU AGAIN 😊
Thanks for watching

Those knives are so Awesome. I love the Utah inspired blade. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Spring steel makes great swords and knives.... Just Saying
Yep. Was Thinking the same.
@@onmywayup763 I'm happy to see that's where it appears to be heading.
We are going to be making a couple of swords soon!
Cutting Onions at the end there. Never thought i would cry on sparks videos
You bring the heat. I'll bring the muscle. And the troops will bring the freedom...
That old arc welder probably still works with a little cleanup!!
Will it weld!!!
Bet Allen can make it weld again! My dad had one and could weld soup cans together with it!! I remember helping him fix a leaky exhaust pipe by patching it like that. Back in the 70’s, we didn’t have snazzy wire-feed 110 units. Had to unplug mom’s dryer to plug in the welder!
LETS GOOOOOOO HECK YAH GUYS always a blast to see what you guys are doing
That last part was the stuff that chill bumps are made of!!!
That means so much to me that he built a knife handle with the material from Vietnam-era fatigues. There are fewer of us around now because of the things we were exposed to.
That was so cool. So touching at the end too.
Ok that ending got me.....just lost my dad in November and my father in law on Sunday. Both armed forces both served with honor. Semper fi
I follow a few recovery channels and others and it always blows my mind that they never wear eye protection when grinding, drilling, hammering steel on steel etc. I learned at a young age to wear safety glasses and I've seen what can happen if you don't.

My 3rd son is getting into blacksmithing, this is very cool!
It's called 5160 spring steel. I'm a professional bladesmith and blacksmith. I've used that stuff for almost 20 years. Good stuff for hard working knives or big choppers.
