Testing Out A New Hammer On A Dinner Triangle

After 3 weeks, we're back into it (now on a biweekly basis) with an impromptu project that just popped into my head, spontaneously. Just an excuse to use the newest addition to my forge. Hope you have as much fun watching it as I did making and editing it ;) enjoy See more of my videos at http://www.rumble.com/c/halfpineforge Check out my website at https://www.halfpineforge.com/ https://www.instagram.com/hpf_blacksmith/ https://www.facebook.com/halfpineforge <<<<<<<Music>>>>>>> Intro music: "Dig A Hole" by Cold Cinema https://bit.ly/47tVOyn

Skull Pendant

Just a quick one today, having some fun making a little skull pendant. Hope you have as much fun seeing it come together as I did making it (and making a doofus of myself, as usual). Hope these next couple weeks go by quickly, so I can get back to making more videos). In the meantime...

Crow Skull (kinda...)

My first attempt at a crow skull (or any type of skull, for that matter) was a failed success, but it still came out looking interesting, to say the least, and I had a lot of fun doing it.

Workshop Sign Bracket Part ll

Workshop Sign Bracket Part ll

Back in the shop again with part 2 of my hand forged sign bracket. This one was a doozy to get together, but I made it work, like I always do. As I mentioned in the first sign bracket video, I am now officially open for business and have started my own website. There might be a video in the next few days to explain more details about this, but after weeks of planning and years of dreaming, I proudly invite you to visit my very fresh website in its early, infantile stage of life, and I'll see you all next week for another video. https://www.halfpineforge.com https://www.instagram.com/hpf_blacksmith/ https://www.facebook.com/halfpineforge <<<<<<<Music>>>>>>> Intro music: "Dig A Hole" by Cold Cinema https://bit.ly/47tVOyn

Shop Sign Bracket Part 1

Getting the primary piece of a sign bracket to mount to the outside of my workshop. This project had a few more experimental techniques (experimental for me, anyway) that I got to play with, and they turned out to work beautifully. Part 2 coming soon on the 17th Check out my new website at https://www.halfpineforge.com/ https://www.instagram.com/hpf_blacksmith/ https://www.facebook.com/halfpineforge <<<<<<<Music>>>>>>> Intro music: "Dig A Hole" by Cold Cinema https://bit.ly/47tVOyn 🎵 Track Info: Title: Midnight Drifter by Musicoman Free 🎧 Available on: YouTube: / @musicomanfree Instagram : / musicomanfree Web site : http://www.musicomanfree.com/ Facebook: / musicoman-free-112012067599895

Forging a couple pendents

Just experimenting with some designs of pendents today. Nothing too fancy. Tried outlay new brass wire wheel (didn't have the expected effect on my work piece), and I learned a little bit about a very cranky dragon. Enjoy :) Check out my new website at https://www.halfpineforge.com/ https://www.instagram.com/hpf_blacksmith/ https://www.facebook.com/halfpineforge <<<<<<<Music>>>>>>> Intro music: "Dig A Hole" by Cold Cinema https://bit.ly/47tVOyn

Fire Poker with a basket twist!

I've been meaning to make myself one of these for my fire pit (despite forging a few for friends over the years), and today's the day I finally get one of my very own. Plus, this gave me an opportunity to try a basket twist for the first time. Let me know what you think, warts and all, down in the comments below, and enjoy watching me make a fool of myself Special thank you to my wonderful "extras", (From left to right) Eddie, Daisy, and Jessica.

Business Card Holder

Business Card Holder

Back again with a new adventure. Made myself a business card holder for my desk. Yet again, this is my first time doing this and I haven't seen this particular design "out in the wild" before, so I THINK I might be the first to do it this way, which is always exciting. Even though I was winging it, it came out to my satisfaction eventually. I wonder what I'll get into next week. Hopefully make another new breakthrough in my steadily growing business Check out my new website at https://www.halfpineforge.com/ https://www.instagram.com/hpf_blacksmith/ https://www.facebook.com/halfpineforge <<<<<<<Music>>>>>>> Intro music: "Dig A Hole" by Cold Cinema https://bit.ly/47tVOyn

Mjolnir Pendant Redemption!!

Mjolnir Pendant Redemption!!

As I foreshadowed in my previous video, I came back to take another shot at making the elusive Mjolnir Pendant. These pendants are quite a common item done by my fellow smithies, but I just couldn't seem to get the fundamentals down until now. Just goes to show that even after 8+ years of on/off work in the forge, I still have learning to do. No chickens, bumble bees, or Bollywood actors were harmed in the making of this video Check out my new website at https://www.halfpineforge.com/ https://www.instagram.com/hpf_blacksmith/ https://www.facebook.com/halfpineforge <<<<<<<Music>>>>>>> Intro music: "Dig A Hole" by Cold Cinema https://bit.ly/47tVOyn

Mjolnir Fail and Troll Cross Success!

Sometimes when experiments in the shop go a little awry, ya just gotta make due with what ya got. I don't only celebrate my successes, I also celebrate my failures... just for you... Perhaps this will turn into a 2 part video. I will prevail next time, so keep an eye on the channel and you'll see the exciting conclusion.

Fancy Drink Caddy (Cupholder)

What better way to relax on a Sunday afternoon than to spend 2 hours making a place to put my raspberry lemonade? Blacksmith math makes sense, right? As per usual, this is my first time making one of these. I remember seeing one of these years ago and it just popped in my head, and when things pop into my head... there's not much stopping them, from becoming a reality ;).

PRESTOooo!! Bottle Opener

Not a demonstration of my expertise in bottle openers (of which, I have little), but more a demonstration of the versatility and utility of this infinitely useful profession. I'll be honest, I was just winging it with this one because my videos aren't about showing off fine craftsmanship and elite skills, they're about showing what can be done with a little elbow grease and some backwoods ingenuity. Hope you enjoy while I make a fool of myself ;) Check out my new website at https://www.halfpineforge.com/ https://www.instagram.com/hpf_blacksmith/ https://www.facebook.com/halfpineforge Intro music credit: "Dig A Hole" by Cold Cinema https://bit.ly/47tVOyn

Simple J-Hook

It comes in handy being a blacksmith. The ability to just make things as the need for them arises often times feels like a super power. What should I make next?

Hand forged leaf keychain

Decided, on a whim, to bang out a quick project that's been a timeless classic for me: The leaf keychain. Always a solid test of a blacksmith's dexterity and hammer control (both of which, I believe I'm rusty on). Considering making more of these to sell online soon. Next step in my business, perhaps?

"Top shelf" decorative ironwork

Decided I had enough of my leaning tower of literature and it was time to make a home for my books. This was actually my first time making these kinds of brackets, so it had a bit of a learning curve. The good thing about being a blacksmith? I get to make stuff whenever I need it. Bad thing about being a blacksmith? I have to make stuff when I need it. ;) Kindly give my video a thumbs up, comment if you'd like, give me a follow for more content coming soon, and please share. All the things that tickle the algorithm would be truly and deeply appreciated Check out my new website at https://www.halfpineforge.com/ https://www.instagram.com/hpf_blacksmith/ https://www.facebook.com/halfpineforge
