- Forging a fire place poker with split point that does not require forge welding. This is a practical and useful tool for use in the fireplace, wood stove or out camping. This would be another good Christmas or holiday gift idea

I'm yet to find something I wish to forge that you haven't already made a video on. Thank you for making so many good videos that I continue to learn from
Well done! It is wonderful to be involved in a craft where people share their knowledge like the Blacksmith community does.
Thanks
I really like the hook and poker design, the transition is pleasing to the eye and it has a very organic look. Clean, classic, well made tool. Thanks for taking us along!
This is one of my favorite videos of yours, I keep coming back to it for reference. I've made about 3-4 of these as gifts and they've all been really well received! The one part I have to keep looking up is the final stock length you ended up with, so for future reference it's 1/2" by about 23-24" 😁
The ring of the anvil in this audio is so loud, it actually makes me really happy I have a cheap Vulcan brand anvil that doesn't ring like that... If it did I would certainly need hearing protection. Tinnitus isn't a fun thing!
That came out awesome!
I love the design!! nice work John.
Nice, John!
Dave
..Very interesting technique!! Thank for showing...!
Nice poker, thanks for the instruction John.
Thanks for sharing some of what you have learned with all of us. After about 30yrs Idle whoopin steel and using my shop for more gas and diesel mechanic issues and projects I feel that I may dress my hammers clean a few tools and take some of your advice and make a few things before I get too stoved up to still speak that old hammer language...lol I remember one of my kin tellin me it was mighty strong morse language. Thanks again John, Kev
Awesome 👍🏻
Thank you John, for all that you have done to further us,through the fire that we all find ourselves enveloped In. THANKS AGAIN!
Very nice job buddy you for sure being back good memories I really love watching your videos and I hope to get to meet you in person some day thank you , you addres blessed for sure and I really enjoy being blessed thank you friend.
Nicely done, I really want to start simple forging like that, I don't want to go the axe or knifes route, but simple home/shop accessories like hooks and pokers things like that!! Thank you!!
Thank you. While lots of new smiths love making knives, I will try to focus mostly on simple forgings. There should be a video on a ball end coat hook up in a few days.
Actually making knives has little to do with forging, and much more with stock removal, complicated heat treating, different steels and their qualities, shapes of the blade, different handles and materials and so on. That's why it is called a 'bladesmithing'. I prefer much more this classical blacksmithing projects, there are just way too many bladesmithing and too less good blacksmithing channels.
Like your videos- You do a great job explaining each process
thank you
I am a new smith and just wanted to let you know how inspirational you videos have been. I've been watching your videos and taking your teachings and applying them to my smithing journey. So far I've made four pairs of tongs and am currently working on a fire poker. Thanks again for taking the time to makes these videos. Cheers.
Scarf theory translates throughout most welds
This is a great project. I have been avoiding making them because of the forge welding needed in the other style. These are so flexible as well, twist here or there, square or round, short or long, so flexible. Thanks for sharing your skill and knowledge with me. I greatly appreciate it.
Glad it helped
John, have you ever made one of the blow-poke's? a fire poker with a hollow tubing so you blow on the fire with it.
Love UA-cam's ad decisions. "This video has the word 'poker' in it. Let's do an ad for a poker playing class!"
Interesting. I wish I had some input on the ads,
@@BlackBearForge I don't mind. It was just comical to me that the algorithm took poker and gave an ad for poker classes. Just one of those things that makes it clear that AI isn't there same as human intelligence.
The problem is that everyone I know now has a gas fireplace or an electric heater combined with a little screen that plays a video of a fire. XD
Thats Not Inspring John as it uses Power hamers and stuf that advanced smiths will already have.
