Better than watching the morning news while getting ready for work.
Better than watching just about anything 😀
Can you imagine the ratings if this was on tv?
@@ajs96350 tv networks would be too ignorant to have EC on they would have way to many control issues. They would change the quality so much. Scots doing the best thing he could do by UA-cam.
@@JC-di4uz You've got a point there.
My grandfather had a blacksmith shop in Blue Hill, Nebraska which had two Little Giant 50# trip hammers. The first, number 202, was shipped to the shop January 26, 1901. The second, number 302, was shipped to the shop October 26, 1901. He sold the shop and retired in 1958. It continued as a blacksmith shop for some time but eventually went out of business. I don't know when that was and don't know what happened to the hammers. I can recall being awakened by the sound those hammers made while he worked on plow shares and the like on early summer mornings.
Anvils are so simple, solid, and timeless. How can you not love them?
From your mail video, We are South Caldwell High School Spartans that sent you the decal. We are a 4A school of around 1,800 students. There are 3 of us construction teachers that teaches the students a skilled trade of Carpentry, Masonry, and Electrical. The students love watching your videos. Every time there is a rainy day or a day that we aren't going to the lab, they ask me to look to see if you have posted any videos. If you have, I put it on the overhead projector and we watch them as a class. They can't wait for the spec house. Keep up the good work. Thanks, Scott Settlemyre
That sir is teaching done right !!!!! Thank you for helping to pass it on to the next generation.....
Love all the videos. Here's the but. I love these blacksmith videos the best. Also the mechanics of the power hammers ring a special place for me. Those men who designed and built that equipment more than likely all gone yet live on in memory of the equipment itself. Other than a mans family it is one of the greatest legacies they could have left. It is such a honor to use knowing this. And thanks to all still use it and keep it out of landfills from being melting down.
Can you imagine either spending time with this bloke or at a minimum putting up a hour long lightly edited video of almost any subject matter? How good would that be. He could be talking about his dog sleeping and id still listen.
That county sure does have an abundance of talent.
Glad I’m not the only one who strokes machines.
This has to be the best youtube channel by far
Why the heck wasn’t this at least a 30 minute to 45 minute video? You showed us three or four anvils and a power hammer! What about the big hammer? What about the rest of his shop? What about some of the stuff that he made? Great video, had me wanting more!
Great video sir. It’s always nice to see shops of other craftsman, especially ones that share/teach their craft in the hope that it will not be lost.
Just the kinda fellas I'd like to hang out with....Great episode.
You have some good friends. Love the fact he has the boy scouts there to learn. Excellent!! Thanks to the both of you .
More, more, more. Need more of these videos!!! When I dropped out of college, my dad kicked me in the pants ;-) into getting a job. Didn't have a car and he would take me to work. Would get breakfast everyday before work with a bunch of regulars at Hardees. I learned the wisdom to be gained from listening to old men. I still enjoy it. Lots to be gained just from chewing the fat and talking shop.
Great video . . I've learned so much watching your videos . U have made me appreciate old tools and machinery so much. Each tool has a story..
I just love love love these kinds of videos, so interesting to see other guys shops.
Thanks for taking us along!
Cheers from Tokyo!
That old power hammer from Mizzoura is awesome!
Funny how things strike you out of the blue. At the end of this video, your logo came on and Bam! I'm looking at... An anvil !
I've seen many of your wonderful videos and have enjoyed them but the anvil in your logo hadn't struck me until now.
We tend to take things for granted at times but watching this video I realize that the anvil is the centerpiece of any blacksmith shop. So, appropriately enough, it's the centerpiece of your logo.
I have the #17 Little Giant 100 pound trip Hammer. So great to see another one!!
Great video. I love hearing the stories that surround old tools.
Another reason why I can't find a good, affordable, anvil. I'm getting in "the game" late because I never thought that Smithing would calm my PTSD the way that it does. Life saver! Go NAVY beat Army!!!
I love looking at other smiths shops. Very interesting to see the set up. Attention to detail in each of them.
I love the history you bring and share. If not documented and shared it would be bound to be lost forever. THANK YOU for sharing!
Mr. Scott, another great video, thank you again for bringing us along on your journey through life.
Love to see you come alive talking about these old relics. Thanks for bringing us along to see these treasures
Yes! Makes my day. Thanks. Love these kind of shops.Wouldn't care if I lived in a shop.
I could watch videos like this all day. Great job!
What a beautiful set of tools. I just recently landed an internship at a fabrication shop that includes a reasonably well equipped forge. My excitement is through the roof!
A piece of regular white chalk will make the imprints easy to read. I used to use that same trick on old firearms.
Great video, especially your recognition of the brand of anvils and their relative worth. You are a master!
My grandfather used to work in the crime lab of a major police department and he told me that you can use a strong acid to reveal the numbers that have been filed off of a gun.
Get your acid ready and some baking soda and plenty of water to neutralize it. Also, a friend with a pencil and paper to record them. Once you put the acid on, it will eat away the softer filed area, but leave the denser stamping. But it will also eat the stamping next, so have the friend ready with pencil and get the baking soda and water handy or the numbers will be gone forever.
The trick I've used is a bright highlighter and a blacklight. The highlighter gets into the stamping and the blacklight makes it glow clear as day. Doesn't always work though.
I was born in 1948 in Whelen Springs, Arkansas in a sawmill camp. My dad was the blacksmith/millwright for the sawmill. He was 46 at the time and I lost him in 1959 when I had just turned 11, just when I could have learned so much from him.
This is really cool! Sometime I should come visit this shop!
Wow that was an amazing video I was smiling every single second I was watching, great work man
This is another one of those videos that I believe every single one of us watching would love to be there, but all of them are ! 😊
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍 👍
Love these snippits of videos, always something interesting to look at or listen too. Enjoy the longer videos even more lol great content.
Man I love these blacksmith videos...
Ready for more, great stuff guys!
I wish there were guys like these around where I live.
I would bet that there are, you just have to look.
@@5x535 not in the Caribbean.
I guess that you are right. I did see a guy turn a 55-gallon oil drum into a steel drum. It sure sounded good when he was finished.@@LTT.Official
@@5x535 yeah those guys are making the steel pan our national instrument of Trinidad but there is no hardcore blacksmithing going on there sadly :(
Thanks for making me feel better about my first anvil purchase. I bought a Peter Wright about a month ago that could be the twin to that one expect mine is in a little better condition.
Enjoy these videos so much! Keep it up guys 👍🏻
Great video, these ones are some of my favourites.
Beautiful old tools ! Ty
So good, I was waiting for more and it finished, lovely shop and tools.
great stuff, thanks for the mini tour!
Tool appreciation extraordinaire.
nice to see other shops love these
Lol, "this profanity has Got to be dealt with"... Your comment on the Peter Wright anvil. Classic brother... Lol
Thanks for the video.
Very good working place!!☺☺☺
These anvil videos make me envious.
Man I would love to drive down to Oregon and spend the weekend learning from you! So much knowledge in your videos
Pleasant video to watch this...
Almost a bit like easy listening... 😊
I love the content you guys share! Thank you.. -Will
Love the info for anvil hunters!!
I could watch all day.... : )
Lovely video. More please!
So cool seeing all of these shops. I love shop tours. Makes me wish I would have gotten into smithing. Maybe once I get a house, I'll look into it. Unfortunately living in an apartment in NZ, there's nowhere to do it here. It's never too late right? RIGHT?!?!?
Way kewl‼️ 👍. THANKS!
Really enjoy these videos of casually visiting the "neighbor" blacksmiths. Cool stuff...
Awesome as always. Cheers from Colorado
Thank the Lord!!! Made my day
Nice collection Steve has there
Thats a steal of deal on the JHM!!
Shop talk is best talk.
Great video,really enjoyed,thanks.xxx
Sweet!
Well done sir
thanks again awesome
Gave it a thumbs up and enjoyed your video
i live in the area and would love to be able to get a tour of some of these shops.
Thanks for letting us tag along.
Nice video!
Those are some nice anvils, I recently found a 285 lb Peter Wright that is in pretty good condition, it was a decent price but anvils are cheaper here in the UK.
Nice equipment...I'm here in Sacramento, Calif.....only 1 place for this stuff...Horseshoe Barn...I bought a 120# JHM exactly like the one here, $200...used but like new, not a mark on it...came from a Ferriers school right here in town.
And this is why I subscribed...
I love the horn on the Trenton. I wish I could own one. I'm not sure if they were shipped to the UK.
Fun!
how do blacksmiths ever get anything done... all standing around talking about tools, cant say Im any better
If youre ever in PA. You without a doubt MUST visit Johnstown PA. Old Iron mining town with a massive iron works factory from ages ago. You have to see it to know how astounding it is. If you'd like to see pictures shoot me a message. They have blacksmithing classes there as well.
I recently picked up an awesome 200 lb fisher anvil from 1901 and it was amazing. I ended up selling it to the gentleman who has the Fisher & Norris museum in NJ. Then I picked up a 168lb Peter Wright anvil. I agree Peter Wright’s are a very recognized name. Mine is a perfect manageable size so I kept it and sold my 230lb English anvil.
Took my anvil after purchase to local engineering shop for the same reason. They said sure, will ring you with a price before we start work. Went back about 6 weeks later to chase it up but they must have seen this video. Sorry, not going to give it a go. Got it somewhat better myself with hours and hours of grinding and belt grinding, still not perfect but much better than before!
I envy you men so much. To have several anvil and they are all just so beautiful. Being from Baltimore, Maryland. You don't see them. Not to mention even if I did. I just can't afford one. Maybe one day.
Do a video of you restoring that Peter Wright?
I have a little 90 pound farriers anvil that I'm thinking about restoring. At first glance I don't see any marking on it. Is there a place that I could do some research?
That peter wright looks a lot like mine, mine is much cleaner, but I could never tell exactly what the brand was, it is too worn off around the waist, now I’m pretty confident.
Another great video. someone help me out though, can I get the song being used at the end of the video? It goes SOOO well with this channel, but I would love to have a link to the artist/track.
What a way to get your mind off politics
How many blacksmiths are up there in Oregon?
If one is serious about blacksmithing, and is ready to get on lifelong terms with this craft, cowboy up, buy a new Kohlswa, and don't look back-you'll have no regrets.
Also, a Cole vise can be set up as a good solid useable leg vise.
What’s with you guys and stone floors in your part of the world?
I still like my Hay-budden to compare to the Peter Wright... mine has a bit more weight too
Would it be possible to use that anvil to straighten out my saw base :’(
Can anyone tell me what is so special about a "Peter Wright" anvil?I have one,use it all the time but it doesn't seem to do anything my other anvils don't...thanks!
Cool but the carpentry bit holds my attention much more. Please do more
Microsoft makes a software called "Hyperlapse" which should help you smooth out those driving timelapses
i would love an anvil but cant find any here, i have to use the back of my vice
I have a 25lb Little Giant in my shop.
My son plays hockey with a kid who's father is a Farrier, I'm going to ask him about any anvils for sale.
this is why i can't find a bloody anvil, every blacksmith in America has at least 5 of the things. a man can't forge on an old sledgehammer head forever!
