Before I go further, I highly recommend any blacksmithing videos by Peter Ross, as he worked as the Master Blacksmith of Williamsburg over the years.
A vid on making box joint pliers, which were very common in the 18th century in many skilled trades, BTW:

A short video of finishing plain box joint pliers into a more elevated form, though not by Peter:

The next two aren't by Peter, but some very common items that are not usually seen in many videos:
