This could never happen at Disneyland... Something Legendary at Knott's Berry Farm's Ghost Town!
On today's episode of Randomland we do something EPIC at Knott's Berry Farm, something you could never do at Disneyland! Knott's was once revered and beloved for its craftsmen and skilled creators. These days things are different, but a few craftsmen remain, the Blacksmiths of ghost town! The Blacksmith Shop in Knott's Berry Farm is one of the original attractions, and for 80 years they've been forging ahead and hammering out amazing pieces of ironwork for guests and clients of all kinds, and today we pick up an incredible order and do something legendary that no other show has ever done in the park... and I cant wait for you to see it!

of my Branding Iron okay Ken so how does
8:54
of my Branding Iron okay Ken so how does a branding iron start here in little
8:57
a branding iron start here in little
8:57
a branding iron start here in little pieces like this we're gonna cut these
8:59
pieces like this we're gonna cut these
8:59
pieces like this we're gonna cut these off of a bar little pieces that is a big
9:02
off of a bar little pieces that is a big
9:02
off of a bar little pieces that is a big long piece and that's iron right legs it
9:05
long piece and that's iron right legs it
9:05
long piece and that's iron right legs it is iron we'll uh design it on paper to
9:07
is iron we'll uh design it on paper to
9:07
is iron we'll uh design it on paper to get our basic uh Dimensions off of those
9:09
get our basic uh Dimensions off of those
9:09
get our basic uh Dimensions off of those we just cut it to fit then we do the
9:11
we just cut it to fit then we do the
9:11
we just cut it to fit then we do the forge work to make the different shapes
9:13
forge work to make the different shapes

9:16
letters and the handle uh the handles made out of a square stock which would
9:17
made out of a square stock which would
9:17
made out of a square stock which would be a same length I just have to cut it
9:20
be a same length I just have to cut it
9:20
be a same length I just have to cut it to the internal wow so you have to cut
9:22
to the internal wow so you have to cut
9:22
to the internal wow so you have to cut all the things you make here out of
9:23
all the things you make here out of

9:34
parent stock over there we're going to
9:34
parent stock over there we're going to cut these little pieces out so that's
9:35
cut these little pieces out so that's
9:35
cut these little pieces out so that's one two three four maybe five six seven
9:38
one two three four maybe five six seven
9:38
one two three four maybe five six seven different pieces that all have to be cut
9:39
different pieces that all have to be cut
9:39
different pieces that all have to be cut yeah that's a lot so when we're doing
9:41
yeah that's a lot so when we're doing
9:41
yeah that's a lot so when we're doing that we lay it out on paper and we'll do
9:43
that we lay it out on paper and we'll do
9:43
that we lay it out on paper and we'll do a constant like a back and forth from
9:45
a constant like a back and forth from
9:45
a constant like a back and forth from the fire to the paper to make sure we've
9:47
the fire to the paper to make sure we've
9:47
the fire to the paper to make sure we've got the right shape once we get the
9:48
got the right shape once we get the
9:48
got the right shape once we get the shape determined we'll lay it out one
9:50
shape determined we'll lay it out one
9:50
shape determined we'll lay it out one last time we send it off to our weld
9:52
last time we send it off to our weld

that a regular fire like in your
21:31
that a regular fire like in your fireplace would be enough in the hot
21:33
fireplace would be enough in the hot

this thing up in in full ignorance with this torch we'll see how it goes as you
21:51
this torch we'll see how it goes as you
21:51
this torch we'll see how it goes as you can see there's only a small amount of
21:52
can see there's only a small amount of
21:52
can see there's only a small amount of torch for a sort of a large amount of R
21:55
torch for a sort of a large amount of R
21:55
torch for a sort of a large amount of R here so I'm not sure that this will work
21:58
here so I'm not sure that this will work
21:58
here so I'm not sure that this will work but it's worth a go we've got a couple
22:00
but it's worth a go we've got a couple
22:00
but it's worth a go we've got a couple of blocks of like scrap wood I can try
22:02
of blocks of like scrap wood I can try
22:02
of blocks of like scrap wood I can try it on none of them are very straight
22:03
it on none of them are very straight
22:03
it on none of them are very straight they're all curved so it won't look
22:05
they're all curved so it won't look
22:05
they're all curved so it won't look perfect but it'll be a good test okay I
22:08
perfect but it'll be a good test okay I
22:08
perfect but it'll be a good test okay I give this a very low
22:09
give this a very low
22:09
give this a very low percentage of a chance
22:12
percentage of a chance
22:12
percentage of a chance of working here that's probably
22:15
of working here that's probably
22:15
of working here that's probably far enough out there we go a low
22:17
far enough out there we go a low
22:17
far enough out there we go a low percentage chance of working
22:19
percentage chance of working
22:19
percentage chance of working but let's give it a try
22:43
a little bit a little bit look at that a
22:43
a little bit a little bit look at that a little bit of a Char Mark no problem
22:45
little bit of a Char Mark no problem
22:45
little bit of a Char Mark no problem let's see
22:48
let's see
22:48
let's see uh see the stars it's a little crooked
22:50
uh see the stars it's a little crooked
22:50
uh see the stars it's a little crooked so the stars are kind of hard to burn
22:51
so the stars are kind of hard to burn
22:51
so the stars are kind of hard to burn into there you gotta kinda
22:58
Stars I see all right not perfect but
22:58
Stars I see all right not perfect but look at that it did Scorch it a little
23:00
look at that it did Scorch it a little
23:00
look at that it did Scorch it a little bit it didn't burn right in it wasn't
23:02
bit it didn't burn right in it wasn't
23:02
bit it didn't burn right in it wasn't hot enough I guess we'll have to try
23:04
hot enough I guess we'll have to try
23:04
hot enough I guess we'll have to try later on a on a real fire with a bunch
23:06
later on a on a real fire with a bunch
23:06
later on a on a real fire with a bunch of coals that are I just need a much
23:08
of coals that are I just need a much
23:08
of coals that are I just need a much hotter torch I'll flip it over and try
23:11
hotter torch I'll flip it over and try
23:11
hotter torch I'll flip it over and try again one more time see what we can do
23:12
again one more time see what we can do
23:12
