- In this epic how to make project we will cover some basic blacksmithing fundamentas. In the video I go into great detail on how to make this 14th century candle stick holder. We will be looking at basic forging, stock estimation and fire-welding. The piece is based on a task used by Hereford school of blacksmithing and is a great why to to build your skills. It also works quite well as a test and with a time limit and working to perimeters.
I will also be announcing a challenge in the second half of the video for you to have a go at and maybe even submit an entry.
Challenger!

Looks like a lot of fun! I'm in brother thanks for inviting me :-) 20 mins seems deceptively easy lol especially when you're working to tight specs for sure.. Good luck to my fellow competitors
Yeeeaaaahhhh Royyyyyy!
Dan's attempt was so British. Step 1 - put steel in fire.... Step 2 - good sip of tea.... Step 3 - complete task
I'll have a go for sure. It'll have to be with the gas forge due to Australia's very rigid fire bans at the moment, but I'll definitely have a go. I expect I'll be WELL down the bottom of the leaderboard, as my forging style is built on the rule of "slow is smooth, and smooth is fast". But I'm interested to see how it turns out!
We cant do anything properly without a sip of tea 🤣
Hahaha so true. Best of luck dude I know you can do it xz
I'd need a begginers category as so far I've only made tongs........ and I'd need to make some more tongs to make this candle holder......... and finish re building my forge....... I think I'll aim for an hour and claim bonus points for any seconds I get under that time!! 😂
It does sound like it will be a fun competition, good luck everyone 👍👍
Can't believe this only has 14k views - excellent video, subject craftsmanship
This is too funny, this morning during Blacksmith Church, someone asked the question as to what would be the next Blacksmith Challenge. And here you are handing out a good one.
Well done Dan. 20 minutes is a crazy short amount of time when you look at all the different things that need to be done. I'd be proud as hell of 20.15
Thank you and it sure is!
That comment at the end spoiled it for me Daniel. "Watch me panic like a girl" I know loads of men that panic:(
Will not be competing but loved the making of the candle :)
Браво, мастер! Из пластины отковать пруток - это очень практично.😊
И ещё. Мой тебе совет. Сделай наковальню на пару дюймов повыше. Тебе будет легче работать. А то ты постоянно в наклоне...
There are some top tier UA-cam blacksmiths commenting here.
Thank You for the interesting and educational video. I enjoyed it greatly. I do not have all the skills needed for this project. You are a remarkably good Blacksmith, IMHO. Thank You for sharing so freely. This Novice really appreciates how you share the craft with us. Thank you again...
This is going to make a really cool series of videos. Love it,l watch all the smiths that you mentioned.
Great challenge!! Cool to watch you guy's work under pressure. I'm a total newbie to blacksmithing, just made my first forge and about to start making tools, I will have a go at this as soon as I've made the gear to do it.
Karma loves you're mouse talk. Lmao That's a cool idea. I might have to try this
This'll be interesting and fun to watch. Maybe even join in
Nice little project for me to go try on this snowy day thanks Daniel
Good luck to all that have a go .Cheers. (:
Great project, Dan, even for those like me who aren’t in the challenge. :). Thank you for sharing and giving me something new to try.
Just forged one from 5/8" (16mm) square bar - getting all the measurements right took a BLOODY LONG TIME! I'll definitely be making more though - very fun and beautiful project - first ones for my sister's birthday. Thanks again for the great video!
looks lik3e a fun challenge have fun!
Nice work Daniel ill give it a go cheers
My grandfather had an open fire in his cottage and at either side the were two big hand forged fire dogs and two candlesticks, like yours but with integrated rushlight holders. I was told they were mediaeval.
I will give this a try. Should be a fun challenge. I need to go back and find all those dimensions again. Thanks for the challenge Dan.
Great work and idea! Love to hear the results and see who wins! Thanks and God Bless you Dan!
This sounds like great fun !
That is pretty cool and a fun little project. I'll have to re-watch it later cuz I didn't get to finish the whole video. I made it to the 20:38 Mark and I'm out of time. Cuz I got somewhere to be
Getting that done in 20 is crazy, forging something decent in an 30 minute crash and dash challenge that’s clean and decent is hard enough. I’m crap at getting things done quick
Same! What Dan does in 1 heat takes me 5. Noob old lady with kitten strength. Screw it, just do it!
Neat little project!
Thank you definitely will give this a try!!!
Best of luck.
This is a very cool project . Great Challenge ! Thank you for this !
Your videos are great. I started forging again because of you. Thank you for the content
Oh this is such a super cool idea. Congrats to you for coming up with this. Well done.
Well done 👍
That’s nice dan
Great video fun challenge.
Nice- thanks
WatchJohn S. Do this it is interesting to see how different Blacksmiths go about differently to achieve the same thing. Thanks for the video!
Hi Dan, thanks for the video. Very interesting, being able to use the basic skills and turn them into a nice looking project. Will have to put that one on the list when I get my shop up and running. 👍⚒
Cool challenge idea!
Thanks dude
Nice job on it I wouldn't mind giving this a try haven't much much cance to do any forge in competitions lately.
Sounds like fun. I'm in for sure Is the drawing available?
I messed yiu and I can get it to you.
I wouldn't mind trying as well, will you post the drawing anywhere?
I look forward to stacking up against you, John! Put that manky tank to good use!
LoL, I did a practice run yesterday. At the 30 minute mark I realized I didn't have a drift for the candle cup. So I spent the rest of the day making one. The weather is foul today so hopefully I can get back to this challenge this coming Friday or Saturday. Lots of fun!
Can't wait to see how you get on.
I'm a new subscriber. Really interesting challenge. I just watched John from Black Bear Forge do his. I was cheering him on! Lol! Thanks for the Great Video!
Hi Daniel Great idea. Just watch John Switzer participation in to the challenge Good some how as a viewer you can fell the pressures .Better that some videos game's 😉
Thank you. You sure can and the first couple of minutes waiting for the metal to get hot is painful.
John did an amazing job.
Beautiful! I've just made a few candle snuffers, and have been looking for a candle holder that can be done with my current skills/equipment.
Wow, 20 minutes is really a tight time frame. Curious to see how the nominated people perform. And anyone else who is willing to take the challenge.
It really is I'm hope they all do better than me.
Hi! This challenge is great :D I had a go today, untimed and unfilmed. I guess it was at least 45mins, more likely an hour or more! :D Pretty happy with the result for a first try though. Will make a few more and see if I can get close, doubt I'll get 20 minutes!
Fun project. I am going to try this but I have not forge welded anything. I will be happy if I can do the weld
Best of luck love to see how you get on. Please let me know.
I’d love to get in on this, however I’ve been put on active duty orders and will be gone for a bit
new subscriber...
I'd love to do this! I'll have to pick up the appropriate stock and do it next weekend since the day job doesn't allow me to get to the forge during the week days.
Amazing can't wait to see how you do. Good luck email me if you need any help.
@@danielmoss2089 I will do this through the UA-cam channel for my forge. It's small at the moment.
Ha! That's cool! A nice little project ... maybe I can join in too! :-)
Yeah that would be epic. Email me if you do want ago and I'll sned you the drawing.
I love this project. I watched this and a couple of the challenge videos. Immediately went out to the shop and made one. Took a bit longer than 20 minutes lol but turned out very nice. I see that this project came from a class but I was wondering if there was any actual documentation for this being a 14th century replica?
Not enough experience or equipment for the challenge, but will try to make similar with what I have just to see if I can. However, my dear bride would behead me if I let it drip wax on any of her furniture. SO, I'll perhaps try to add a bowl or shelf as a wax catcher.
Nice idea and I'm sure you can do it with a bit of time. Best of luck.
I’ll see what I can do.
If you need any thing let me know.
John said he would do it so it would be nice to have ago. Get you some view dude.
Very nice and challenging project for my skill level. Made my first one in 3 hr + with a failed forger weld. Tried a second attempt tonight got as far as completing the cup in 1:24:16. Going to get a blacksmith friend help me with the fire weld see if we can get it to work.
Do you know what the propose of the spike is?
Thanks for all your videos, learning a lot.

Nice cahllenge, I may try to do it without time limit, just to know if I'm able to make it, it probably will take a a whole day to do it. I wonder if I could make it with 16mm round iron bar
I like the candle holder could I please get a copy of the instructions thank you
I am thinking of making the candle cup look like a leaf and maybe putting a twist in the stem.
I bet the 20 min limit is just so they don’t hire a newbie dilletant hobbyist- such as myself.
Great video Dan id like to give it ago not good at shooting videos But will let you know how I went
Nice challenge Dan I will have ago but that depends on the weather cos baby its cold outside : (
Can't wait to see best of luck
@@danielmoss2089 can you post the drawing for this challenge
Great candle holder and great idea. I'd love to have a go at it but I'm in-between shops and the new one won't be up for another month. Plus, I'm pretty sure I can't do it in 20min anyway. Lol. But I'll definitely be making some of these just for fun and use. One question, how did you drive it into the wood? did you pre-drill a hole and then just stick it in as hard as you could or was there hammering involved?
LIKE Friends 👍👍
Enjoyed the video. What is the purpose of the spike adjacent to the candle cup?
Excellent as always. When you gonna get some color in that Koi?
My friends kids coloured it one and me and the girl friend decided that we will leave it till we have our own kids and a box of carola hehe
Haven't got any normal stock that thick, but have an offcut of ball bearing damascus 🤔 🤣
Do it!
I would like to know more about what you got hanging on the wall there.
I was told to reach out to you by one of my subs. Said there was a candle holder challenge or something like that.
Dont know how to get ahold of you otherwise.
You could always email me it's in the description.
@@danielmoss2089 email sent.
@@danielmoss2089 email sent. what's the duration of the challenge? I'm game..
Wow, that is tight :-)
When does the challenge end?
I'm currently deployed and will be back home in Spring...
Cool challenge and I wish all participants good luck!!
I have no idea yet see how we go.
Nice, Dan - did you flux that forge weld as you were doing it? Beautiful as a garden light too.
Hi Daniel hopefully you'll get your time and quality there. thanks for all your very educational videos I'm just learning to be a blacksmith. the reason I'm writing is I'mwondering if you know what has happened to Natan Baker? i enjoyed his videos as well as yours but he hasn't posted anything for a long time, is he okay? Thanks Steve from new zealand
I worked on it today. I couldn’t do that in 20 minutes if my life depended on it.
Hello Dan, nice project! But, I did not understand, what ist the vertical point next to the candle holder for? greetings Christoph
Me either I just copied the drawings. It migh be for bigger candles? Any guess it's based of a real object fyi.
@@danielmoss2089 Thank you!
I doubt theres many that could hold a candle to you Dan
Haha lol very good
Can I use my children's understanding of 20 min for my challenge? It'll take a week or two to I get back to my shop but I'll give it a try, no guarantees I'll get close enough for a real entry.
id love to give this challenge a try. is there a way to get the drawing and is there a day it needs to be completed by?
Can you please post a link for the drawing?
Thanks!
Please email me and ill send you a copy of the drawings
It sounds fun but I know for a fact that I'm not fast enough to compete so I will offer to be a judge if you will have me
Use a round drift not tampered should save some time
I think I said that but yep.
Whats the deadline for submissions? I'd like to give ut a go but I'm pretty busy in the workshop for the next month playing catch up.
No idea on this one let's see how it goes. Best of luck and email me if you need any further information.
Brian Brazil please challenge
What is the other point for sticking up by the candle ?
Since the tolerances are tight, would you please post the drawings some place?It's tough trying to grab them off the video.
Send me an email and I'll send you the drawings.
"I am perplexed as to how this item would be utilized in a utilitarian way..."
I agree
First!! 🥓
please add a link to the drawing.
@danielmoss would you like me to share to Roy and hans for yah lol?
You sure can
I've already messed them but a little friendly nudge always help hehe
i'm out because i'm way to slow but can i ask what you would charge for something like that price things is my biggest downfall
I'll get back to you promise
@@danielmoss2089 thanks mate
Foul! Them measurements ain't in my ruler, I'm living in the USA.
Just watching John Switzer but he handle the metric system petty fair.
No I am not mad and the tapes often do give both metrics and USA.
But our steel would vary in size .
Still a good challenge.
Did you do great thanks for showing Sir
I also enjoyed Mr. John Switzer video
You really don't need a 'fullering tool' to make that
It would take me 5 days even more to get that up to standard so I'm out .
