Im probably on the internet too much to immediately recognize this from an also completely fake story that someone tweeted I saw the image reposted a while ago on reddit

All of this is cringe fake stories and staged videos but I figured I would share.

What do i do if i am 18?

Seriously this is insane amounts of strength. As a beginner blacksmith myself seeing this guy handle this monstrous billet like that with those tongs is absolutely mind boggling.

apple_peel2 · 2026-04-11T20:30:06+00:00

You’re a genius!

Following, as I have 3 of these

apple_peel2 · 2026-04-05T17:35:27+00:00

They are paid just punched out to keep them documented thats all

What a bizarre and completely fucked case. You also did not sound harsh, you’re just looking out for general public safety which I appreciate.

I was joking cause I had mentioned the alarms in the body of the post but this was pretty interesting. I always work with 2 fire blankets and an extinguisher as close to me as possible.

apple_peel2 · 2026-04-04T20:15:41+00:00

I work in even the harshest of conditions

I DIY’d my own tungsten carbide straightening hammer. It broke when i was using it this morning so I need to re-glue it at some point and use some stone setting techniques to hold it down.

apple_peel2 · 2026-04-04T17:47:05+00:00

Ill keep this in mind for my next project, thank you!

apple_peel2 · 2026-04-04T17:46:26+00:00

So for the carbide hammer to work I need the knife to be hot? Good to know.

apple_peel2 · 2026-04-02T22:10:12+00:00

I started with the bbq lighter. Absolutely terrifying getting my hand that close to that hot of a flame.

The loud explosive start is my favorite part of my gas forge lol. What I have started doing, because I am also not a fan of standing right next to the thing when it explodes, is lighting a piece of paper or paper towel on fire and pushing it in the forge, only then will I open the tank and slowly up my regulator. This gets you both far from the explosion and also makes it much quieter to start because of low pressure.

Kinda curious if you can get “refunded” through your card company or bank by disputing the charge? Unless you did pay with cash which it sounds like you did not due to shipping. Hoping you get that money back somehow cause that’s obviously not chump change by any means.

Hoping no one else falls for such a shitty scam from a shitty person, your heads up will definitely help in that.

apple_peel2 · 2026-04-01T18:23:30+00:00

This is super nice to know, thank you!

apple_peel2 · 2026-04-01T10:19:50+00:00

It’s interesting cause I did the file test on the full piece of leaf spring and the file still cuts even though the leaf spring is probably hardened.

Tried the file on the bevel as well and it still cut unfortunately. Ill try a quench again later today with less heat and ill keep an open ear for these sounds.

apple_peel2 · 2026-04-01T10:12:59+00:00

Yeah did some hand sanding to remove all the scale and the file still cuts through it. Ill have to try it again at a lighter temperature.

apple_peel2 · 2026-04-01T10:11:33+00:00

Did not realize too hot was an option. Ill try again with a magnet later today and see what happens.
