I took your advice I bought an Edward shear for about a hundred dollars yesterday

Love your videos
Comment from : @gathotkaca6911

Those are some seriously heavy duty stakes Really make those wire-thick ones that come with modern tents and whatnot look pathetic

Hello Black Bear Forge, Just wondering do you still agree with 20 bucks an hour rule that you’ve said in a later video (I’m forgetting the name of the video at the moment) and does the 20 bucks an hour also include carving and fitting a handle?
Comment from : @emeraldmage5265

The tent stakes being a profitable market is mind blowing

Thank you very much for your insight and the reality of life as a blacksmith and a young one as that :--)
Comment from : @schmiedemesser_Jasmine

I appreciate the simplicity of some of these projects I am notorious for feeling like I didn't put enough time into a piece and ending up wrecking it cause I won't leave it alone
Comment from : @hawkbox

I'm a software engineer (emphasis on the "engineer" part), and I'm thinking of making this a mandatory video of any juniors that I may need to train in the future The IT scene is full of these self-proclaimed "coaches" writing productivity blogs and other nonsense, while you've managed to convey the message in less than 9 minutes: if you want to be effective, optimize your workflow

Nice video John Sorry for your loss if your outdoor cat, Smitty Kitty is not with you any longer
Comment from : @richardsurber8226

What size if your flypress John?
Comment from : @hacgarimman9660

Great video, been watching your videos for a year now they are one of the things that got me blacksmithing What drill bits do you use on carbon steel none of mine work? And which do you suggest buying first a hydraulic press a power hammer or a fly press?

You can see right away this fella has a lot of wisdom to share Thanks John, we need more people like you, willing to guide beginners
Comment from : @adroaldoribeiro4529

I just picked up a coal ironworks press because I want to make axes/tomahawks and the few I've done by hand was not profitable at what I sold them at Now I should be able to make them faster, easier and hopefully better quality

Hello JohnbrThank you for this little view in the Background when you start your ShopbrThank you for your view brIt will safe some guys for a big finacial breakdownbrTake care have a good week brYours Frank Galetzka
Comment from : @frankgaletzka8477

Tent/canopy stakes are definitely one of the most popular items I sell at shows
Comment from : @MrGiXxEr

The idea of buying something used and useful for your business as a splurge and still having it 35 years later is amazing Just the nostalgia of being able to look back and say this little thing that cost a handful of dollars made a difference for decades Awesome
Comment from : @linkfain1

Thanks John, valuable thoughts!👍
Comment from : @paulorchard7960

A pleasure to watch as always!
Comment from : @SmokeyBuiscuit

Could an arbor press be used instead of a flypress for smaller jobs? Flypress looks handy but impossible to find and at a good price
Comment from : @stoneinthefield1

Nice, thanks for your time
Comment from : @countrycraftsman5110

Wouldnt it be more efficient to just use a bending jig at the anvil than having to turn and use the fly press? Youre already knocking corners down
Comment from : @tugboattommy

Hi! I am a 20 year old welding student I recently discovered your channel and I absolutely love it! So entertaining! I'm not exactly forging anything like you do and I only work at a place that makes custom steel table legs, but I'm loving it Keep on making awesome videos!!
Comment from : @ThicBeas8

Lots of good advice here!
Comment from : @threeriversforge1997

This is my favorite yt channel
Comment from : @dainthedeadly7328

Great video John I appreciate your explanation about the business side of what you do You don't make things sound like rainbows and butterflies, but rather, you discuss the realities of running your business As you discuss the equipment you have acquired, I am often reminded of what my parents taught me They said many times that we should buy the best that we can afford and sometimes that means that we need to wait a bit before making a purchase to get the best value
Comment from : @robertoswalt319

Thank you very much!!! 👍
Comment from : @Юрий-ю9ч2д

I mean, if the business isn't there, back to the drawing board I wasn't completely right about this before it all started?
Comment from : @chriszablocki2460

Good point, thanks for sharing I spotted a Gargoyle and than I realized he's been in that spot for a while but I didn't notice So long overdue, I SPOTTED A GAGOYLE 😉

Good job,i am pakistani black smith
Comment from : @muhammadtanveeer3502

I'm beginning to commence starting to think about deciding whether or not to initiate reflecting on deciding whether to purchase an induction forge What parameters do you recommend for a back-yard blacksmith?
Comment from : @billssmithy7352

I'm just getting started really, but I'm looking at getting a bigger anvil and a treadle hammer it is hard to find someone to strike for me I believe those two items are a must for me right now
Comment from : @GeorgiaWoodsmen

Some good advice, great video
Comment from : @Sam-black

Have you ever tried to make a die that would make the points on your stakes? It seems it wouldn't be too hard to do and could make them faster
Comment from : @Jason-jd1jv

Thanks for sharing that brother! I enjoyed watching!
Comment from : @DominicMinischetti

Great advice from a very experienced Smith!
Comment from : @ChristCenteredIronworks

More production videos
Comment from : @MadebyKourmoulis

That fly press is a really neat tool
Comment from : @benterbieten9540

I've been tempted several times to charge a forge press or 2x72 grinder to the ole credit card, but i've learned the hard way Don't spend money you don't have especially if it isn't going to make you money right away in return to pay off the debt lol Thanks for the video and it's funny I just forged out some tent stakes a couple months ago because of a camping trip we were doing You made me realize I put WAY too much effort into forging those stakes lol
Comment from : @thedarwinexperience5312

Does the heater use much electricity?
Comment from : @henrycadorette472

She's beautiful, your helper not the shear 🙂
Comment from : @henrycadorette472

I do like my Combat Abrasive belts Thanks for pointing me in their direction brbrAnother good video sir Having multiple irons in the fire, and production work is something I’m practicing at the moment Being able to reproduce an item reliably is a skill every blacksmith should cultivatebrbrBeing able to make the hobby/job pay for itself is a wonderful thing I was recently able to retire my harbor freight anvil and purchase a “real” anvil from Holland Anvil
Comment from : @Bangalangs
