Comment from : @JacobInge

I plane on getting a wood fuel forge and start making my own tools by learning by trial and error and try and make different things

But I can’t… I don’t have enough common sense… oh well… hey, does anybody know how to comment on a YouTube video?? For the life of me, I can’t figure it out…
Comment from : @Thisisallwegot93

I am someone seriously thinking about going into business smithing, so this series has indeed been valuable Thank you for your generosity with these
Comment from : @bdgackle

Wow this is really cool!!!brI listen to people with real experiencethat is the best advice n my own opinion 👍
Comment from : @stephenwilliams1364

this whole video is good up until 10:30 "every time you bend one of these hooks, you just made $300" yes your projected profit is increasing from each bended hook, but you still need to factor in the man hours spent on your own personal marketing, whether or not your going to art / trade shows and selling the cost of vending yada yada realistically the real money comes when you've established an actual art form that you have a personal market of clients to sell to developing vendors that will buy your items for resale, or buy your items for regular personal use or gifting the road is endless when it comes to creatives like metal working can add the most minor woodworking / burning into the mix and sell items that take less than an hour to make, for massive profit

I feel like I could make 1000 hooks a day That little jig is a smart idea Work smart, not hardbrbrJust get a podcast or music going and just flow It would get old pretty quick but you could just do it for a couple weeks and have thousands of some hand made small products Thanks for the inspiration
Comment from : @NoBaconForYou

My boys are interested in making the horseshoe nail hooks What is The jig that you used to bend them? Also did you find horseshoe nails with holes already drilled in the top? Or did you drill them yourself?
Comment from : @ProvidenceFarmstead

Appreciate your time and content These little business ideas are great I’m not looking to make money (yet), I’m just looking for ideas for Christmas gifs to make for family and friends? BUT, you make it seem very possible to make money at blacksmithing I will be retiring in a couple of years and I’d like to make some spending money from this hobbybrThanks again!!!

Hi how do make or obtain that item you were using to do that faster and easier?
Comment from : @DonaldMichaelDischner

I wanted a press so I found a machine shop that tossed a 3 ton ball screw and made myself a fly wheel press to make it easier and faster
Comment from : @nilegod1

Watching Ohpera, nah, don’t think I’ll be doing that! 🤮But your right Roy, tooling is the key!
Comment from : @paulorchard7960

I just took an old sharpfinger skinning knife that was recovered from a house fire cleaned it up, retempered it, put a natural hickory handle on it and made a hundred bucks The knife itself was not even worth 50 bucks

Comment from : @horseblinderson4747

Completely unrelated to the subject of the video type comment, but I had to say I liked hearing you say "me and MY wife" something that really irritates me is hearing some guy say "the wife" like she's property, like, the house, the car, just bugs me lol Anyway, Had to just say that, carry on lol

Comment from : @sarahhoward9081

Hewing axes are rare and expensive -
Comment from : @richardcross7489

It’s cheaper just to get random pieces of metal at the dump like rebar and cutting it into pieces
Comment from : @JessJess347

Your wrong as hall you should practice quality not quantity because after you get quality down you can make quantity and it'll still be in good shape your advice is is very wrong

Comment from : @barfyman-eg1so

heat (coal or gas), hammering flat, drilling holes, bending, Iff you can sell them for $3 each, you are still at a net loss At least you didn't waste your evening after work! :-)
