Thanks for posting this video. I've made a few from rail road spikes, I'm still a little rough. Ive learned a lot from your video.

good clean work, the twist looks great, the extra time to grove each face really paid off. Do you treat them with oil or wax to prevent rust?

- Thank you, yes. I usually treat with beeswax. I have been using a new finish the past year. It's a mix of beeswax, linseed oil, and pure turpentine. A good finish and smells great!

Why the quench and flatten before going to the horn on the anvil?

- @@JohnathonBrockI see! So if the heat is throughout the piece, I have a higher chance it'll distort or it won't move where I want it to. The material will only move where it's hot. I hope that makes sense!

Работа хорошая, но незавершённая. На другом конце открывашки я всегда отковываю кольцо, чтобы повесить на крючок или связку ключей. Получается хороший брелок. Начинающий кузнец из России.

- Not finished, which is subjective. Its taste, purpose of use, etc. Sometimes less is more.
