Wow you explain so a old man can understand it like me!!! Thx

[@jmbstudio6873]

Watching you try to forge that tip was amusing.

[@Aleeknives]

Nicely done man! You have a good solid swing and you keep the metal moving so the anvil doesn't suck the heat out to fast! I like the shape you forged. Thanks for the video!

[@waynehoffman456]

Very nice show of the basics.

[@richardbryant7972]

You say back to basics, but that’s what I do every time I light my forge. I like doing it this way so I can feel the steel and let it become what it wants.

[@FireCreekForge]

I do this all the time too, I mean focusing on the blade forging basics as far as the video goes. Thanks for watching

[@TheRedhawke]

Great video, thanks for helping educate us new guys.

[@FireCreekForge]

Thanks for watching!

[@bobwhelk2115]

Thanks.

[@robvanza]

Cool video, really enjoyed it!

[@fatbuttbassett4732]

Excellent video. I havent forge anything but a rr spike knife and a horse shoe knife. Neither was worth doing other than for practice. Cant wait to make one that will be worth the time and effort in the way of a quality blade.

[@lord.skulker]

I am like number 500, also looks good. I will start forging soon

[@kinardoutdoortv873]

Real nice video bud keep it up

[@natedawg9404]

Again great tutorial. Make it look effortless. I always thought a cross peen worked better for moving metal, tried a regular 4lb sledge with the glancing blows and was thoroughly impressed.

[@FireCreekForge]

Thanks! Yeah, I like that method most of the time

[@harjakter]

Nicé vork thank jou 🙂💯👍👍

Kyle…..damn!! ❤

[@mastiffranch]

I like this video, good job honey! Reminds me of being at Farmer's Market together.

[@FireCreekForge]

Thanks babe! Those are fun memories.

[@wrightfamily5625]

Very informative video, thank you for the giveaway. Maybe you could do another one in the future.

[@FireCreekForge]

I expect we will at another subscriber milestone. Thanks for watching

[@johnwsavageknives6759]

Very nice well done. What state are you from? I'm from Alabama here.

[@FireCreekForge]

Thanks! We're in Texas

[@nateand3]

Another great video man. Thank you for taking me to school every week. Just curious, will you do another video finishing this knife out or is this mission complete?

[@FireCreekForge]

Thanks man. I wasn't planning on finishing this one on camera

[@nateand3]

I gotcha. Smaller Bowies are probably my favorite knives, so this was a cool video for me. Have a happy new year bud

[@FireCreekForge]

@@nateand3 thanks, you too!

[@boithebingus3317]

Where do you get long steel plates like that?

[@FireCreekForge]

I currently buy most of my steel from New Jersey Steel Baron. Other options are Jantz Supply, Admiral Steel.
