  • Wow, I know this would be hard to believe but, that bald man is my Grandad This is Rachel. Cyndi's daughter. It's heartbreaking to see this. I really miss him.

  • Excellent team work! I would like an explanation of the striking signals used. Are they ones your forge has developed or are they a standard?

  • That keep you in shape. And the timeing wow.

  • @OakFireForge They continue taping the anvil to keep the rythm. When the leader basically drops his hammer on the anvil that is the signal too the striker to stop. That pretty much the standard signals. Not everyone, keeps rythm by taping the anvil.

  • @OakFireForge The smith holding the metal strikes the material first, then the striker (the older gentleman), hits where the leader just struck, then they repeat. When the leader lightly taps the anvil, that is the signal to the striker not to hit the metal. That's when the leader Looks at the work that was done.

  • enlightening to see blacksmiths language is universal, we see that is a real blacksmith, you can watch my videos and see that it is also given to two almost like you, a greeting

  • I like how they keep their momentum and rhythm as they look at their work deciding on where their next strike will be. This old man was a good teacher, you can tell in his countenance and body language. Most impressive!

  • Thats awsome. can I take the audio from this video and use it?

  • NICE... well working together ...

  • I miss Mr.Tom!

  • Mr. Tom was one of my greatest mentors; he was always so humble and truly a master smith. He is missed greatly by all those he impacted.
