I agree :-) thanks for taking the time to watch the video
Screw "that guy!" Love your videos and instruction!
Roy, you're all right!!! I don't care what other people say!!! Lol 😆 🤣. Just keep teaching the best way you know how. So keep up the good work and God bless 🙏
On the guy saying it took too long to explain the burner. I frankly enjoy the long detailed videos. You give all the information we need and then some.
Roy, I want to thank you for your videos like this one. Since I've started making "smaller ticket" items, my sales numbers have increased dramatically. I'm getting ever closer to being able to leave my day job and make my living through my smithing. It's amazing how one small piece of advice can make such a substantial difference in a person's goals toward success. Thank you again.
We are so happy to be making a difference! Yes, smaller ticket items in quantity can help increase your pay, especially if you can make them efficiently! Thanks for being part of the channel. Blessings, Jessica and Roy
Hopefully you're working for yourself now!
I want to say THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge. I am a green beginner and appreciate your UA-cam channel. God Bless you.
You find that those that can..Do..
Those that can't.. criticize...
Love the vids..keep them coming bud..
Who cares what other people think, these keyboard warriors are the worst!!! You do excellent work. Your instructions are clear and presented well. Dont let others bitterness get to you. We all roll our eyes when we see haters in the comments. 🔨🔨🔨
No such thing as fast money in blacksmithing, just work. I love that.
It's absurd that people will complain about free information and demonstration, saying it isn't good enough. Unless there's something actually incorrect or especially dangerous about what is being explained, just be grateful!
Love this kind of video, great, practical advice we can market. Love your channel.
Please come back! I miss watching you pound metal on the good ole Harbor Freight anvil!
Thanks Just started learning yesterday 44year old mother of 4..made some weird hooks with some 6 inch nails. Love the spade hook. First project yesterday was a butter knife spoon out of a giant nail..lol.
Roy, I am just getting started in the blacksmithing trade and I can honestly tell you, your videos have absolutely influenced me. Don't let the haters get you down. God has blessed you with a wonderful skill and I thank you for sharing it!!!! God Bless and keep up the wonderful work.
I absolutely love that you let the internet experts know that if they think they can do it better, then do their own!
I'm going to be out of my primary job for a few weeks due to knee surgery and I still want to be able to bring in some kind of money flow. These are great ideas to still keep things flowing. Love this channel!
Very good video and easy way to make money.
Tell any of those people that do nothing but complain to find another channel. If they want 10min videos, then blacksmithing isn't for them.
Great work, thank you for sharing your skills!
new to blacksmithing, made 8 hooks today from nails on a firebrick/butane torch mini forge thanks for posting this, I am addicted and can't wait to get into trying these techniques out.
I love to watch you make stuff using hot steel. Keep up the great work too.
I am glad to see someone showing how items are made, so newbies like myself and make good and simple things to sell. God bless you
Roy, I don't comment much but I did today just to thank you! Your videos are very appreciated where I stand. I'm just learning and you have already helped me a lot. Thanks again!
Less than 10 minutes assuming 1 at a time (batching would reduce that considerably, as would a jig) and at $20/ hook, that's $120/hour minus materials/supplies. Very good sir, my hats off to you.
Beginner here. Excellent tutorial. Thank you Roy
The best channel ever. Helped me so much. I can now even manage to chisel a almost straight line, lol. I Will definitely try to make those great hooks. /Peter Lassis from Sweden.
Don't know anything about blacksmithing but loved the video!
Love your work roy. I hope you don't let the haters get you down. Keep on keeping on, I'll keep watching every video.
I just gotta say that I have watched several dozen of your videos, & I have no complaints about how you do them. But I watch them in order to learn, not to pick apart your technique.
Excellent tutorial!, thank you!
Thanks for the video. I watched it before, but it is worth another go. I made a few dozen and gave them to my friends and family. They are easy and beautiful. Thanks again, Oh, and it is just best to ignore rude people and don't let it effect you in anyway. Hater be haten as they say....
You have given me hope for being able to make a living doing this. Thank you.
Don't listen to the negative people. I think your doing a great job explaining it. I found it very enjoyable to watch and learn.
+floppinfish thank you for the encouragement I appreciate it that God bless you and thank you for watching the video
You and Black Bear Forge have got to be the most informative channels on UA-cam ! You can post the same project and one can learn something a little different from each. Virtual high five!! I would love to see you both do a collaborative project together
I’m a woman who will be starting to forge very soon. This so therapeutic to heat and beat. Plus my grandpa was a blacksmith.
I need to do this to honor him, because he gave me so much in my life. And I Love to hammer stuff. You make things look possible.
Thank You!
@@rubenbj3378 Why is it refreshing to see a female blacksmith?
Great video! I really enjoy watching these tutorials that teach us how.
Ive got to say you are by far the best teacher on UA-cam...merry Christmas
Thank you for the compliment
Great video. Aside from learning, half the enjoyment watching the process, no need to fast track it.
I have learned a lot from you! Try to make something positive about the negative comments, to a point. Some people just like to bother others… thank you!!!
I know it's a bit old but don't let those keyboard warriors get to you. I'm a new, beginner smith (currently taking classes at my local smithing group) and your videos have been great help to me. Your demeanor and candor are refreshing and I feel like you really care to teach/help people to love smithing. Keep up the great videos.
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for this! I finished building my first forge just earlier today so I'm literally just starting out. This looks like an amazing way to start developing my skills. Thank you again!
hooks for_Christmas presents...👌👌👌😃
I just forged my first hook that I actually liked today! Thanks for posting this
WE LOVE ROY!!! ROY ROCKS!!!! THIS CHANNEL IS THE BEST!!!
Thanks so much for doing this and giving us your advice on how to do this. Very kind of you to share with the public. You make the work look so easy. As a beginner, I know otherwise! Love your site.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. As I posted on a previous video I am just beginning to learn how to smith, mostly through books and videos like this. I will definitely try this hook as my next project to try and learn. Thanks again and please keep the videos coming.
You're an inspiration Roy. They guy that comment is a nuncki.
I think u do a great job demonstrating I’ve been watching a lot of your vids because I bought a $15 anvil at harbor fright and made a brick fire place in my back yard and your videos have given me a lot of ideas and helpful tips for when a get some materials and tools to start making some of these things you’ve shown me
I love watching all of your videos just starting out you have shows me a lot thank you so much god Less
Thumbs up if you're here to see Roy work! :D
Im 15 and started blacksmithing when I was 12 I used to make this hooks as practice and didn't think they were worth anything so now I think I might start making this and selling them just to cover the price off coal and maybe fund some new tools. thanks and you make great videos.
yea they are worth $20 dollars like he'a saying then selling one of those will cover more than a bag of coal
Simple, effective, and elegant hook. Well done! Thanks for the vid!
I made eight hooks this afternoon from large cut nails and your videos were the inspiration for that project. I will also be trying this hook out later next week.
That was awesome to watch you work there
I love to rewatch this video, it's good advice you share but for me I need to see the steps you do to help ne get started in blacksmithing and it's great therapy for me. Bless you buddy you are a blessed man thank you.
Don't worry about what people say thats negative man. Was a good tutorial and covered everything, I just learnt on a beginner experience. Thanks
Hey thanks for the live stream the other day dude! It's good to see people on a personal level interact with their followers. That hook is pimp.
Thanks for this demo Roy!
What a great little hook just love the spade end, full points to you for hand forming the hook,
Regards
Stephen
Great build Roy! I made a very similar hook in my first blacksmithing class along with some nails. I love the spade on top! I just hot cut mine and flattened it out. I am definitely going to give it another shot with a spade now, so thanks for the inspiration!
Great video and project. Thx.
thanks so much for sharing, I'm just getting my forge together and these videos are very heloful .

Love the hooks, just starting blacksmithing myself I think i'll make some of these for Christmas gifts! Be Blessed!
Thank you for making these videos. Simple things we hobby smiths can do to help support out hobby. I enjoy your presentation style, and love your videos on items that sale well. So thanks again from Oklahoma. Matt
always love your vids,and you explain the process enough for a noob like me to try it.
Thank you so much for posting ideas. I'm really considering trying to make this my career and the content you post shows ideas on how I might be able to do that.
Brother you ROCK!!! thx for ALL of your hard work and for teaching us. God bless.

Great video and looks easy to make to. Thank you for this channel I learn a lot from you thank you for that.
Just absorbing information at this point and thank you for the encouragment
Kool video, I will have to give this a try.
finally after about a half dozen sets of tongs I managed to get a set that I can actually use. Next up maybe some hooks.
Your videos are definitely eye opening.
You and your wife have been a big help with the information that you share. I have been playing around with this for a few years and as of today I am cutting back some from my full time job to put more time into being the Blacksmith I want to be. I am not quite ready to quit my day job just yet though, lol. I should have begun years ago, but at 50 I still have a few more good years and will reach the level that I want. Thanks for all of these videos. God bless!
Hi Randy, Glad to hear that you're pursuing blacksmithing more heavily. Best of luck to you my friend, and God bless.
Thanks Roy.
Very nice , gave me many ideas for improving my skill. Thank you/.
great video, thank you much
Great video. I appreciate the content you put out.
hanks mate. I will be giving these a go for sure.
Love the vids, always great info and interesting.
It was helpful 👍
I know what my next hook is. Thanks for all the great videos.
Like it,thanks for the information and ideas
Simple - and lovely!
Thank you
Just a great video. Still amazed that you can do the video's and run a business and have a family all at the same time. Great stuff, and as, the comments from the majority of viewers suggest we all enjoy both the content and the man.
Glad you like the video Geoff. Funny thing is, those three things are 99% of my life. Not any time for hobbies (or barely for friends) other than you guys and gals on UA-cam. But I don't mind a bit, because I love what I'm doing, and what i'm doing it for.
thanks Roy! once again, another great video. thanks for the lesson!
+Charles May you're very welcome sir and thank you once again for taking the time to comment and watch the video God bless you
I like your work. Very informative channel. Making jigs and using them is not only part of the fun but said jigs pave the way for the two "R's" of manufacturing: Reliability and Repeatability. Reliably Repeating a product which will increase profit. Less time manufacturing more time with your family or whatever you want to spend your time doing.
Thanks for the video, I have watched it about 8 times. I am always stuck by how much you have grown over the last two years. You seem to have learned to ignore the trolls and just plain rude comments. I like that about you, the higher road and such. Good man... Thanks again, I still can't make that spade shape right and I have over a hundred tries. All I have is a ball peen and it just kind of mashed the metal. I have a Cross Peen coming from Shawn Cunningham in a couple of days. Thanks for the great video.....
Thanks for sharing your craftsmanship and your business experience, very appreciated!
+Bill Puller very welcome ! Thank you for taking the time to comment and watch the video . God bless you
Christ Centered Ironworks I know it's important to get feedback when you are creating content! I really liked your video on make no hooks out of horseshoe nails, I'm going to make a few and use them on a key and mail holder project. I don't have a forge or large anvil, but I have a little 4lb one and a blow torch- thanks for sharing that info as well!
Looks good Thank You.
