Hi, Love the brake drum forge video so much. It is really helping me. I was wondering if you could liste the parts? I can't quite catch the names of some of the parts. Thank you!

I ordered and have enjoyed the old Andersonville Smithy video of the tv shows some years back... can't tell you how many times I've watched them... enjoyed seeing Jay and you on those shows... I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled upon you in YouTube.... I thought something was familiar about this guy talking about blacksmithing :0)... nice to see you carrying on the torch that Jay started years ago...

I stumbled upon one of your vids by accident, didn't know much about what blacksmiths do or how they do it, but your videos are so informative and entertaining that I'm having a ball catching on. Thanks!

Thanks for the vids, very informative and entertaining. One of my Mom's older cousins was a Blacksmith, as an old man in the 1970's he was still one of the toughest and most interesting guys I have ever met in my life. He too was very entertaining, loved the forge and horses, hated tractors but realized the need for them. It is such a shame it has become an almost extinct art. Cheers.
