I know I am guilty sometimes, but why isn't the youngest guy in your triumpherate wearing safety glasses? I know that I should practice what I preach, and in my shop, I do wear safety glasses. I am now wearing goggles during my reenactments and demos, One must set a good example for young smiths learning this craft!

nobody are "perfect" but you are right !!!! if you see on the other video and picture , normaly Alec have glasses .....but i don't now why he don't have on this video.....for me "safety" , it's very important !!! i forge with left glove , glasses ....

Daniel !!! thanks !! B) very nice video !!!! (i like specialy the video about making a hammer !!!! ) i have a "beautiful" french accent in my language ...... :D :D hahaha!!!!!

love these tong too !!!! B) a new way of forging.......making tools for don't work !!!!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

after 15 years of experience,research and calculations....i develop "THE" hammer !!!! i tell you no one will do better ...... :P .this is "THE" ULTIMATE hammer ......

assuming complex multiplication "x2" , absolutely everything becomes twice....... so : Ek = 1/2MV2 = f x d all x2 = twice the power , strength , crushing etc.... profitability too..(i forgot)

the hammer is great "ergonomic" (twice....) and obviously this is half as tired ..... before hammer described a "curve" , now a "right" like a power hammer or a presse !!!!!! is the top , the must,the best....!!!!!


One small problem(a currently unresolved!! but its not immediately know....) When the hammer is in action , it's impossible to take the material , a tong.... or you are two people for forging!!!!(and the price of the forging pieces is doubling......) :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

David , i hope you meet Brian and lyle !!!! i come from FRANCE to meet Brian and i don't regret ..... it's a real good blacksmith !!! with Brian , forge look good and clean !!!!

i am very happy to have been able to meet someone of the members of the MS forge council and to have forged with them to the AG museum (a great place !!)

Thank to Lyle for the jokes , the cheerfulness and the big sladgehammer striking ......

Thanks to Karen for the good meal, discussed them and the visits, a real "mom" !!! and kiss to the small dog ...

And especially thank to Brian Brazeal to share so much on the forge, to make the demonstration , the techniques !!! for a french blacksmith it's execptional to be able to forge with a real blacksmith because there is hardly in France, it's necessary to go abroad !!!! and i'm very happy to have made this long journey !!!! i deeply advise (recommend) all to go to forge with Brian , it's very beneficial , i have learn a lot !!! even for somebody who heliever to now how to forge ......

Brian you been always welcome in France (one day , i hope!!!) and still thank you for everything !!!

Brian , do you now this tong and what do you think about???many old blacksmith("taillandier" who making tools) in "france" had this sort of tong

Thank all for your congratulation !!!! (i have understand what is a ATV !!! thank )

it's "hot" repousse but do you now "cold" repousse ??(Louis 15 french style)

yes it's tool steel 16 mm rond !!! this style of tong are very "ligth" but when you forge a longer time it's great!!!! what is ATV ????

hi hall !!!

i'm angry because i would like to have a course with Hofi in deutchland but i work during the "course" period (and it's very expensive for me , travel, food and night, course)
but i buy coal , i take small rond steel and big square and i FORGE iron !!!

two days of forging when you don't have a striker , it's not very easy but i have forge a fork for my anvil , two "brian ultimate " tongs and two other for small stock

Glenn or other people have working with HOFI ,do you thing it's necesary for me to have a course ?????

hello Brian !!! beautiful hammer i like to see your work , your hammer look nice .
i like to forge with the "brian hammer" i have made , it's the same of a sculptor whit is hands in the clay !!!! :rolleyes:

thank !!! i think "french" forging and "usa" forging it's not the same !!!!!
you have another style of forging, machine ..etc but it's intrusting to look other style !!!!
i would like to forging with brian brazeal , or at the big blu ....but it's not easy!!! for the moment i don t have money , time....it's a long travel for a french guy!!!

thank "internet" !!!! you are traveling in a short time , you look good technique and photo B)

thank you SAM !!! i understand the question !!! but i haven't the "technical vocabulary" to reply . look that !!!

SAM what is a " rocking beam spring pack " ???? i think it s a group of flat spring ??????

me too !!! another "crazy" blacksmith french frog
french "forum" are intrusting (and the other too!!) but today i think forging in the workchop with friend are more intrusting....... ;)

hi all !!!

my new toy !!! it's a mecanical "french" power hammer "le compagnon" , a good friend when you don t have a striker


before restoration

and after 2 month:D

wow!! great hammer and forging !! you are very lucky to working with brian .... ;)

tanks cross pein !!
it's not "hot dog" juste a good french sausage (you have many different in france!!!) hot dog and cheddar aren't a french speciality.... but good food specialitys are traditionnal in many family!!!!! :P

and before testing brian style hammer , for the first fire in the new forge i made a good "barbecue" with friends....
thank you for your congratulation it's motivate !!! :D

1500 grams weihgt (3.3 lbs).
i don't know if it's exactly the same of brian... .but i have more pleasure to making them forging,polishing head , finish wood..!!!!

i have test them , it s a realy good balanced hammer !!!! easy to handle the metal move easily , quickly !!!

BRIAN thank you for all informations about this hammer!!!! (if you want you are "welcome" at my home in france ), i hope to meet you a day in europe or usa and forging with you !!!
