    Frank was that guy in High School that finished his tests first, but ended up with a C-.
  • @Heuroya
    Frank's dog-head hammer is simple and good, but Kelly's hammer is the most hammer-like of all. Kelly was the champion in this episode, but she's also the champion of hammer making.
  • @Zedja
    He stopped working early confident in his work and got eliminated. However, even if he didn't stop there was nothing he would be able to do to fix those cracks.

    What happened to the full episodes posted every Friday?
  • Frank just smiled the entire time 😂 it's too bad we didn't get to see more Frank
  • Kelly won the episode. Cause she's a great smith and she's a Ferrier for her job. So she's no stranger to a hammer. ;)
  • @Heuroya
    The likely reasons for the numerous cracks in Frank's blade are that the material was stretched with great pressure without being heated sufficiently inside, and that it was stretched in alternating 90-degree directions with too big pressure. The cracks caused by these factors appear when the material is polished. When using thick materials, it is necessary to stretch them little by little. The program staff, knowing this, must have deliberately asked the contestants to complete the task, including using thick materials and making their own hammers, in just three hours. This is a huge stress for the contestants.

    Frank's blade may just shatter into dozens of pieces during the strength test. Maybe he worked his steel a bit to cool, maybe his heat treat was to aggressive. It's hard to tell.

    Hello everyone from Diamond Complex Fire here in Oregon!!
  • I'm surprised they let Frank slide on the hammer. The rule said they had to "forge" the hammer, which he didn't. They've disqualified contestants before for not meeting that parameter. It's Forged in Fire, not Welded in Fire.
  • I wonder if time management was the theme of this episode's first round?
  • 5:28 Its good to be confident, I only see clips here, however as a forger I would never stop inspecting and touching up until the final bell. In the world yes, I would reach a point, get out of the shop, then go back and inspect before moving on tot he next step. 10 to 1 he is the one to go home!

    All of the "hand hammers" .. so the "auto hammers" are still available?
