[markus3ro]

Awesome Work!

[MrThahey]

are you using real wrought iron?

[twg6669]

thats a fun basket to make but I wonder why he didnt just heat the piece up in his forge???

[justj2]

@twg6669 I thought that, but having made those both using and not using a forge before, when you heat them in the forge it's difficult to get a long even heat and you often get scale and slag that sticks a few of the bars together which can be a pain to fix.

That's my thought and experience in any case.

[twg6669]

@justj2 thats a good point, I have noticed some similar problems. I ended up coating the whole piece in borax, which helps retain heat (or at least lets you heat the whole thing up without burning it) and once i'm done I soak the piece in acetone to get rid of the white residue from the borax.....so now I guess its better to use the torch!!!! thanks man. I am glad that you didnt get upset from a question, i've notice that a bunch of "smiths" get angry when questioned.

[justj2]

@twg6669 Some of these smiths seem quite stuck in their ways, so when you question them on anything they get angry (not saying the video poster is one) :s i dont understand it to be honest lol.

Hadnt thought to use acetone to get the residue off before! usually sticks worst just where you cant reach, shal have to remember that and try it out :) i stopped using borax because it was a pain to clean, thanks!

Hello friend.

I write from Brazil through the Google translator.

I admire your work. A show!

I make handmade furniture in solid iron.

I have a question:

In which the wires are part of the candlestick?

Fraternal Regards,

[mbs306]

hey that looks like my torch!!

[SuperElectricien]

magnifique bravo

[pcsaya12]

nice info about this.. see in my site also..

[bakersneza86]

nice work man ;;;;;

[loyeti]

is it really wrought iron or is it mild steel?

[evilrocketscientist]

Nice work, great video, helps out for some future projects...

[aubreyd61]

Not long ago I patented an attractive futon frame that can be assembled in about two minutes by one person without instructions, tools, or small parts like nuts and bolts. It's also much easier to convert to a bed than other futons.

I designed it to be cheap and easy to manufacture. I'm selling the exclusive patent rights for $5k plus a very small royalty. You can watch a short demonstration by clicking on my screen name. Contact me any time.

Thanks for watching.

It looks beautiful hanging there

[shutmeup15623]

need to bolt the table down if you can...make that a little easier..

very nice work

[KnarkPekka]

how long did it take to make?

[ramdodgetruck]

having bought some "baskets" in the past and knowing that they must be machine made I came up with my own jig to make my own. Came out nice. amazing what you can do when the metal is hot. Keep up the good work. A fellow metalworker.

[Imfrugal33]

Awesome job!...and without a mechanical twister, too! You are a true artisan!

[clip1190]

Well done. Always like watching a brother at work. One question. How do you run the wires through the tubes? I can't figure out how you get them past the basket?

[Scoopy4444]

Nice job. Working as a machinist, i always like to see others creating with passion. Keep doing it ...  : )

[rowan729]

*jaw drops at the very end* That was cool, AWSOME!

[2StrokeBurnOut]

easier said then done

[TekkHakk]

nice work !

[Cr3ativity]

Great work. I wish I could had a chance to work with hot metal.

[yoncofi]

hermoso trabajo

[woodgrainut]

nice video- I too am wondering what stock made that twisted oval shaped top/ finial thing. Thanks for sharing

[wickedistheshiz]

I am in the process of creating a chandelier made entirely of empty soda cans and hot glue as a birthday present to a friend who wants to be an interior decorator. I begin "construction" tomorrow. There's no way it's gonna look anywhere near as good as this guy's. LOL!

[boatoflol]

HOW could you even compere it with theirs... hot glue and soda cans pffft

[wickedistheshiz]

Not comparing. Just telling something that nobody cares about. If you're working on something better, please share. Douche.

[boatoflol]

Im making wooden Pipes for about 8 Years now... pfff. Go play with some hot glue and be crative...

[traceur9]

Creative*, not "crative", maybe... Thanks for reminding me why people suck... sarcasm, cynicism, arrogance, and no respect for anyone. Great, you [might] have a talent, and instead of encouraging someone else you bring them down. That makes your [probable] talent about useless. One of you does something disrespectful, and the next wants a "1up". Guess when it stops?! When you put your ignorance and pride behind you and start respecting the people around you. Good luck to both of you.

[boatoflol]

i wouldn be so rude, if he just left that "douche" in his comment. Someone throws a stone at me, ill throw one back. And i do appriciate his work, but plz were talking about a hand forged Chandelier.

[boatoflol]

Also i dont care about thos 1up or 1down or whatever, i just want to watch some movies and discuss some stuff. But ppl who disrespect me will also be disrespected by me.

It is nice when he does some creative stuff with empty cans, others are destroying windows or kick of the mirrors from a car.

[samcornett29]

Man that was nice .what kind of stock did you start with?

[fantasticlights]

Hello,

I restore chandeliers and this video was so interesting. i have seen blacksmiths in SC on the plantations make the chandeliers and it is such an art you have. thanks again for letting me see the design process.
