Forged iron skillet - blacksmithing

- Опубліковано 10 тра 2019
- Forging a skillet or frying pan from sheet iron is a fun blacksmithing project. I am using a piece of 12 ga. 8" round, 14 ga material would be a bit easier to forge.

Am I the only one that doesn't see the need for sped up video sections on blacksmithong videos. I could literally watch a 3hr video on smithing a skillet. Especially with John doing the smithing. Always a pleasure to watch. John is the reason I have begun trying my hand at blacksmithing. Got a RR track anvil and just bought my first 2.5lb Kanca cross-peen hammer. I was using a framing hammer before. Still need a rounding hammer and some real tongs.
Based on the actual watch time and performance showing a big drop off for longer videos I am afraid you are one of the few. Glad you're enjoying the videos though
I love how he knows what he's doing, and I'm just over here with my pit and a piece of rebar
"If you take your time, you'll get there before you know it". A bit of wisdom I struggled with. 😀
Plan Build Use I think anyone who uses there hands in one form or another struggles with patience. 👍✌️
My dad always used o tell me, "The hurrier I are the behinder I get"
You never fail to impress me. The quality of your work, your easygoing manner and natural presentation and the time, effort and expense you’ve gone to with your equipment. You are instrumental in getting me into blacksmithing and I’m very grateful for that.
Another great video. I don't notice much difference in the sound. But John, you are adding to my project list faster than my wife is to her Honey-do list.
I feel like the Rogue Go was better at isolating his voice from the forge noise. But the other mic sounded a bit fuller.
I have been watching your videos for quite some time now and being as I am in Australia I really do appreciate you converting measurements to metric for me :)
Thanks, I try to remember, but it does slip my mind from time to time
new mic sounds great!
absolutely love how this came up!!!
Every one of these videos are a joy to watch. Thank you, gentle Black Bear!
Love the skillet! 🐾🔥⚒
I always enjoy your videos. Well thought out and clear explanations.
That was one of the videos I've seen! Thank you for all of your hard work!
That’s an amazing skillet. Thank you!
Great hammer work. Flat disc to a pan amazing.
Love the new setup
Love it, I'll have to make one for my camping cook set.
Your videos are awesome and your knowledge and explanations are so thorough! Love it man!
Really enjoying watching your videos. Interesting projects, explained clearly and at a good pace. Thank you for taking the time. Bjorn
What's not to like? Excellent presentation of your skills John Switzer.
Nicely done video. Will try to make one myself. Thanks for the inspiration!
I found your channel these lately. I can not stop watching them. Many compliments from Czech Republic
It is a joy to watch a true craftsman. Thank you
beautiful work
Amazing work. I am very grateful that you express the dimensions as well in the metric system.
Going through my "resource" pile I found same disc only in 7 inch, another project to add to the bucket list besides the hook of the week projects! The way you showcase the items at the end of the videos is a nice touch! Your video skills have greatly improved for sure!
Great video. Nice work. Thank you for sharing.
I think definetly the GO. Wireless and good sound. Perfekt. Nice video as always!
I got a friend in the welding gas business. He is gonna get me a old tank. They just sell em as scrap when they put them out of service. Thanks for what you do sir. Im learning much from you.
Thumbs up for the new mic, and as always a wonderfully instructional video.
Looks good and both sound good.
John , From a Flat plate steel, To An Great Skillet ! Ready to cook dinner ! With some clean and seasoning ! The Wonders of Being a Blacksmith !
Be Safe and Keep Hammering !
Thank you for your Inspiration !
Mics sound good. I so enjoy your teaching.
Thanks John, loving your video's.
G'Day mate. I have been having trouble forging rings. After seeing the way you do it, I think I know now what I have not been doing. Cheers' mate. Keep up the great videos.
You are my favorite instructional blacksmith on UA-cam. Thank you for the work you put in
I really like the new lens.. very crisp and clear.. I want one. After trying out the cable mic I am thinking about creating a “wire channel” in my apron. This way when I put on the apron, the mic is attached allready, and I just plug it in and cords are pre-corralled.
I think the big difference is in the aperture. This lens is a 1.8 at its widest while the other lens is 3.5 and as a zoom it gets smaller if zoomed in. As a result the other lens tends to increase the ISO a bit to much
This video looks like a winner. 11K views in one day! I've seen you use the Oxy tank bottom before but I'm now looking for one to salvage. You make it look so easy :)
New lens on the into looks brilliant :)
Iike your pan very much.thanks for sharing it with all of us that like your skill.
I love watching your videos and it’s a bonus that you look like my pops
The wireless mike is no loss at all. Great skillet. Toast and coffee, freezing cold early in the morning and learned how to make a skillet, Now aint that what life is all about.
I was just watching Jymm Hoffman demo at this year's BAM conference last week. Really did an excellent job, including making a small skillet. I learned a lot watching him.
What a pleasure to watch someone with real hand skills and an affinity with metals, who makes it all look so easy, so enjoyable and so natural.
Your video making, your communication skills and your ability to inspire are all up there as well. Thank you.
The new camera is bright crisp and clear. Very nice. The sound is excellent as well
Oooo that looked fun
I loved learning and watching, thank you! I have little interest in taking this up as a hobby and I probably will never forge, but the education and wisdom you share to us is very welcoming and kind, again thank you for this video, take care! ♥
Nice job. Looks like a good saute pan.
excellent work
Great video, content and production.
I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.
Awesome John!!!
Now I’m learning about video production and blacksmithing. Lol I absorb this channel daily. Quality content through and through.
Great video.Your easy style and relaxed instructions make it a real privilege to watch.
Thank you.
Loved this video.
Very nice 👍 work thanks for sharing , Right now I'm in the mountainside resort that's close to granby ,co with my wife and daughter and granddaughter blessings to you and your family 👍😊🙏 watching you work
Well Done with great learning!
Cant realy tell to much difference between mics to my lil worn out old ears
So thats a neat pan. I like it
Blessed days 4 you sir,
Crawford out 🧙♂️
This is my favourite project yet. I would use the hell out of that little skillet!
Nice one looks good.
Awesome great video. I love the curved spike on the back bench
The power hammer is awesome, but I always enjoy your hammer & anvil videos SO much more... 😁👍
Cute lil skillet John. Thanks
Thanks
A wealth of information, thanks !
Good job! I feel like I've seen disks like that at my steel yard. I may give that a try.
Really enjoy your channel and your craftsmanship. The rogue go has a preferable sound quality to my ear.
Awesome as always. Thank you so much!
Great video as always. I learn something from every one.
Love the show!
Me when viewing other people's work: Handmade looks so beautiful!
Me when viewing my own work: These handmade flaws are hideous!
That was a kool skillet
wow that's really cool
I know that it’s been a couple of years, but the new one sounds great!
Dang good idea that oxygen tank.. who doesn't love the look of hand hammered rivets? you make it look so simple.. thanks John..
Really makes you understand why casting is such a important art for modern living.
New mic is great, and new camera is very crisp. Great video all around!
Both sound good to my ears
Nice job John, lovely one person camp skillet I like it :-) I didn't notice any great difference in the mics, both sounded good to me
I've seen some of your videos so far and I'm absolutely loving the fact that you're doing everything by hand, without a power hammer.
It's the way I've learned from a dear friend and neither of us own one, so traditional stuff like this is pure enjoyment for me.
Glad you enjoy it! But if you stick around, you will find a fair amount done under the power hammer. Should be a good mix
Like the new mike better,sounds clearer to me. That's one of the nicest forged frying pans I've seen great job and thanks for some new ideas
Thanks
@@BlackBearForge , hi John. I watched this video a while back, and I was wondering how much harder would it be to forge a pan out of stainless? Do you know anyone that's done it?
Love the skillet. I want to make one but with no handle for cooking in a campfire. The handle of mine should be separate but be able to latch onto the skillet with a slotted end just to pick it up.
When I was visiting Golden Colorado, I went to a historic location there near Cold Creek, they had a blacksmith shop, but no working blacksmith. I wished at that time that I could move there and take the job, but it was a job with no pay.
New lens looks great. Love the Sony handycam. That's the camera I take backpacking.
"Action Cam"
I really enjoy your videos, the years of experience that you share are a valuable resource. Keep up the good work sir.
Thanks, will do!
That's are really nice little skillet 😊👍👍
Thanks
Nice. Been learning metal castinng but it has lead into me trying to do some minor Blacksnmithing. Need a set of Tongs for my crucible so I pulled some steel flats from a chain link fence, cut a hole in the bottom of my first meelter and heated them, did a great twist on each but got stopped there as I've no means to drill or weld. Just started a mower blade bowie-using my poor man's anvil to flatten it-old tree stump- so this type of video is a wealth of knowledge. :)
Another great video with a lot of good content. I am a beginner and have watched many of your videos and have learned a lot. I just watched this video and learned more. Thank you. Phil in Australia
Glad to help!
You are great! This is one video that I just dearly loved. I thought the straight handle looked great until you put a little shape in it and then I fell in love with that skillet.
Curves do that to me too billy19461
Awesome. The new camera setup looks pro :)
This is my first video with you. I must say it's the most enjoyable smithing video I've seen in quite some time. I miss being able to do the work myself and need to fix that. But in the meantime, such videos are fun to watch, and it gives me a chance to learn more about forging and maybe a tool that will make it easier to work on a project again.
Welcome to the channel, I am glad you enjoyed the video
Most excellent!
boy that was some hammering huh!!!! I hope youll show us what you prepare in it soon!
Awesome! I'm pretty sure this is the coolest project I've ever watched on Tubelandia. I use a pan every day, so making a pan or two is definitely in my future. I may have to make a set for my daughter for when she goes out into the world on her own, (which I wish will never happen, but its inevitable), along with some cutlery and flatware. I have about 5 years to get it done! I move quite slow, so planning ahead is compulsory. I will be starting a chefs knife this week for her birthday tho. I have about 6 weeks to get it finished along with some other knife projects. Anyhow, I love this channel, so much good stuff:)
I like how you provide both inches and millimeters when you measure something.
Ps. Glad to see you using the hook ruler to give metric too. Appreciate it.
The Rode Go is definitely a cleaner sound and since it works better for you then definitely use it!
Great video. I like the new microphone. The sound seems more vibrant.
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls
The new microphone is sounding just fine 👍👍😊
Great video! thanks mate!
First time viewer. Nice work. You whip out a skillet like that at a cook out and everyone there who has cooked with cast iron will want one.
The old lav mic has more dynamic range and the hammering rings a lot more. It also has more bass. The new mic was easier on the ears when you were hammering. :-)
