He made more mistakes than the quinching/tempering thing; the dinner bell (triangle) is a triangle all triangles have 180 degrees and because this is an equilateral triangle the angles for each corner would be 60 all around not 30 like he said

just wanted to wish everyone at P.A.W. Merry Christmas.

[UniqueExposures]

good point man hadent thought of that one lol. was a very cool vid for sure

[UniqueExposures]

good skill to learn no doubt. cant see what a dinner bell would be useful for lol but good video

[SurvivalReport]

Well keep in mind this was a public demonstration at a festival. Dinner bell could be useful for alerting others in the area to specific threats.

I have been thinking of learning a thing or two about smithing. Nothing big, just how to make nails and such.

Don't have much by the way of equipment though, so for now I guess book learning is the best I can do.

Keep watching, we will have something out soon of our own regarding this. I built our forge out of mostly junk stuff. Total cost was around $50.00 I'm no "blacksmith" but I'll play one on youtube ;) LOL

[localbrewz]

just wondering, how did you do it for 50?

[SurvivalReport]

Used a tire rim, some 2" iron pipe fittings, firebrick. It's not pretty but it works and was better than spending $600. I'll post a video of it soon, working on finishing up the rabbit series now.
