hey man, i have been a subscriber for a while now and the only thing that i can say besides i love your videos is that you havent shown any hot iron in a while. lets see some of your work being worked bud.

Thanks for your videos for beginners. Your basic instructions are REALLY basic, which is exactly where I'm starting. While knifemaking is my goal, I'm going to warm up and practice by making some tools for scraping out gourd water bottles and a couple of hangers for mounting a lantern on a 2x4 tent pole.

Hey there,
I really like your videos, very good information, thank you!
I found it while looking up "brake drum forge" on Google.
I want to start forging. What are some good scrap type pieces to start with (other than files and rasps?).
Thanks:)

Some incredible useful Stuff there. I'm going to order your DVD right away on Monday and Subscribe on the Site.
I've done some Blacksmithing when I was in Boarding School.
( Just some simple Stuff )
I plan to try it again once I'll be able to get a Place to set for it.

Thanks again for sharing your Knowledge on this Craft.
