Backyard Blacksmithing

Slow connection? Watch in lower quality
Here we see Allan Course (the Backyard Blacksmith) at the Bentley Woodfair, demonstrating how to make a simple but effective hook from a six inch nail using an inexpensive, mobile forge set-up - ideal for woodland working. Allan`s skill is apparent and his enthusiasm is infectious - as he encourages us to have a go, keep safe and enjoy! http://www.bentley.org.uk/ An Adliberate film http://www.adliberate.co.uk for WoodlandsTV http://www.woodlands.co.uk/tv

Interesting, did you not use any refractory cement to line that pot? Also for quenching is it better to use oil rather than water?

Hi Allan. Thank you for this wonderful demonstration of how easy it can be to start blacksmithing. Have you considered making youtube videos yourself to further inspire people? I would love to see more backyard blacksmithing.
