Very nice vids.
I am amazed that you dont use bruit force in your hammering. I always thought you had to beat the stuffing oit of metal, but the light taps and direction of them is cool.
Thanks.
Jon

Hi Jon,

You're not the first to make that comment. We can be very gentle at times, using the hammer more like a brush than anything else.

I'm running a giveaway competition on the channel just now as I've passed 500 subscribers which is cool.

Hi Guys,

I'm doing a "how to forge a bottle opener" series

I've started trying to upload weekly videos - the final video of this series will go live next saturday at 19:00 UK time.

Please let me know what you think. - In the final video I'll be announcing a competition. In the mean time I'd appreciate it if you could share the video to anyone who you think might appreciate it.

Shameless plug I know. :p

All the best
Andy

Thank you all for the support on here. We'll be getting back to the basics series as soon as possible.
