    Hey guys I've been forging for a while and have found that I love making forge pieces to be used for various map settings which offer both nice visuals and often have functionality to them. I am a part of the YouTube channel TheHaloForgeEpidemic and have my own playlist for forge tips and tricks.

    FORGING FOR ALL​


    My goal is to help all kinds of forgers. I find that many people in the halo community are still novices when it comes to forging and so my series focuses on showing people how to craft various designs. In this way I am able to level the playing field for forge newcomers by allowing them to get past a typical hurdle in forging which is inspiration and good map presentation. I also cater to more experienced forgers by supplying them with fresh ideas for their own maps which they can hopefully build and expand off of.

    Below are posted many of my tutorials. I may update this post as new videos are released.

    A person could get a head ache with the camera moving around so much.

    Good ideas to work with though!

    You really have a talent for finding little tiny parts of large objects and making them work as a whole. Most of those ideas never would have crossed my mind! Bravo!

    Hey, I was wondering if you could make a video for some neat, larger buildings and bases. Like BTB kinda thing. I have been struggling to make interesting buildings in a couple BTB maps I'm making and I think you could come up with some really neat stuff. Also I think its amazing that you come up with this stuff purely for people to use, because most people would use it and in a "Look how awesome I am!" kinda way, whereas you take the "Look at this awesome thing I found, try it out!".
