What is the stack made of? Thx

Hi sir. Nice rig for sure. Any idea of fuel burn in kh/hr? Thank you for sharing

Boy does that suck.

Forging is fun, grinding is work.

Wolf's den? Dammit, I wanted that name😛

Was the stump sunk into the ground as well? Because that definitely helps. Also, silicone between the anvil & base works great at deadening noise as well as eliminating lost energy from anvil movement while forging.

That was fantastic! I’m building a new forge and plan to use the super sucker concept. I like the traditional hood look, and will likely build something similar to your modified hood solution! It’s good to know the hood “depth” can be extended , as I would like to run the horizontal thru the wall behind the forge, then turn vertical outside the building to avoid the roof penetration completely! Thanks for posting and providing inspiration to proceed on with my “traditional” approach to my period smithy.

Why does this guy sound like a physicist right now

Do you ever have the silver split? I am trying hand forging small pieces of scrap and am not sure how often to heat it to hammer it

You did a good video, I like it and can suggest a good way to promote video. Do heard about Get 4 Views?) Keep growing, thanks

..Good deal Doug. Hope ya show the finished piece and the testing...

Not knocking you but I learned this all the way back in the 8th grade. You get a bit more wham for your strike if you do not choke up on the hammer so tight. Let the inertia do twice the work as your muscles, it's hard to relearn a bad habit, but it will help your arm in the long run.

Welcome back

Long time! Thanks you are back!

..That's the reason i leave knife making to Pros like you. i'm looking forward to see the next installment on your journey...

Is there a fan in there or just natural air flow?

Awesome!

That thing had a big load

Hoping all is well, or well enough. I'm a bit concerned.

Did you cut them with the snips?

I’ve never heard of auto tempering. Is this some kind of air hardening steel temper? Cool video man. I haven’t tried to make a hammer yet but researching now.

Your right it's a novelty knife. Thanks for the video.

igual al flaco de dinamita show

Hello thank you for your video, would you still need a hood even with the super sucker? also is this good enough (safe) for a 180 square foot workshop?

The tools on your stand serve the same purpose as a chain.

Really great video as I'm just looking at building a super sucker. Couple of Qs if that's ok. How close to the firepot does it need to be? Just thinking of working space in the fire? And can it be slightly above the level of the fire? Can you tell me the rough dimensions of the sucker box you used? Thanks

I've been smithing for a few years and I learned this from the friend who introduced me to being a blacksmith/bladesmith. Thank you for your time and info.

This is brilliant teaching, thanks.

Thanks for sharing!

Good video. Thank you.

I HAVE ABOUT 100 SPIKES OR MORE LOL!

Dude, you've spent some real time figuring this out from a musical perspective. I'm trying to apply this to my massive bench vice right now. I think the bigger issue will be making my camper the vise is mounted in stop ringing... Thanks for the new point of view!

This is pure Internet Gold

Now, would this work if you cut a hole in a stump to set the anvil in ?

Your voice doppelganger is Steve Wallis FYI

"I'm going to use at least two belts on it" -Me looking in shame at my belts I've been using for a year.

In your opinion, how long (or how many rr spike knives) does it take for an apprentice who takes 2 hours the 1st time to 45 minutes?

Tttk tttk uh tttk clears throat. Tttrk uh clears throat

I love your style. I use the same African engineering

I just found this video. Excellent! I am going to try your technique, for sure. But... I thought you said at the end you will have another video about it... No follow up?

This is a great explanation, much obliged!

What propane line pressure are you running with blown? With my T-rexes I usually have to go 10-15 lbs for most things.

Could you make a san mai blade by adding a piece of file?

Would love to see techniques on tapering the end of an arm ring

painfully slow....omg fell asleep

Thanks had to watch this twice to light my forge. After 2 hours unsuccessfully trying to light up I noticed you crank your Champion No. 400 counter clockwise. Lit up immediately doing just that. All I find on utube is guys cranking clockwise. Cc works much better for me. Thanks so much. Manual is available on line and claims it can be cranked either way.

This is a super informative video. Its upsetting that it only has 2k views while there are smiths out there with 100k subscribers that cant efficiently move steel. It's a pet peeve of mine when I see Smith's hammer for days on flat face and not get anything done.

I have a cheap ass 55 lb anvil mounted to a stump..buried about 2 ft in the ground .sounded like a church bell .. used 2 tubes of silicon caulk spread out under my anvil very generously..tighten it down with four long lag bolts to the stump .Quietened down to a dull thump.. Been using it for 2+ yrs now....quietly with no chains, or magnets...Made the method up!!! Working for me.

Visiting family in 2 weeks, they have a bucket of spikes waiting for me lol.
