Description
In this video, I forge a stainless steel feather with stunning rainbow temper colors using traditional blacksmithing techniques. Watch as I take raw stainless steel and shape it at the anvil with a hammer, grinder, and torch — creating a one-of-a-kind forged feather with vibrant hues created by carefully controlled heat treating and tempering.
Whether you're into blacksmithing, forging, metalworking, or bladesmithing, this project showcases everything from hot steel work to color tempering, grinding, heat treatment, and finishing. The brilliant rainbow colors are achieved through precise oxidation control, giving the feather an iridescent, heat-treated finish.
If you love hand-forged projects, artisan metalwork, or just the satisfying process of shaping glowing hot metal, you’ll love this one. Perfect for fans of Alec Steele, That Works, Black Bear Forge, and Simple Little Life.
