Thing is I threw out some of the ones that were given to me that were as bad. I also love his tools.

Doesn't everybody have a home version of an induction heating machine? Enjoyed the video. He's a pretty good blacksmith and welder on top of his woodworking expertise.

That was an excellent video. Nice shop too. Cleaning up old tools and making new tools look a bit older is so much fun.
I am quickly realizing that I have NO natural talent... But I am trying to fake it.

Thanks Arlin! That was very interesting to watch a skilled blacksmith at work. And that anvil... man!
It's all wood.

I have a set of Black Bear Forge chisels that I bought at Woodworking in America back in 2016. Excellent tools! Love to see him succeed on YouTube!

That means a dedicated circuit to the induction heater. And that doesn't include the liquid cooled copper coil. Those portable units are usually only seen in specialty shops.
Only when I win the lottery and after a bigger shop 50x100 then if I have money left over I will get one.
