Looks like U have upgraded your equipment since this video. Anvil is bouncing all over the place. Nice to look back on humble beginnings, and nice to have massive anvil on half burried log. Worked out mine is 344 lbs recently. Pretty worn unfortunately but generally gets S done
Nice work mate 👍, Just subbed. I wish I had your motivation to make videos, it's great fun forging and making cool interests useful things from random metal objects. Too lazy to make more than a few videos though LoL. Keep Up the good work from south west Australia 🦘
Thanks man! RU-vid is a bit of a job. So if you like forging just keep doing it for fun. But if you want to make videos all I say is just make them interesting I see a lot of knife makers and blacksmiths banging on metal and endless grinding on each and every video.
😂Ahh Maan the brain rot got to you.... You got to go see for yourself! I can't teach you how to be a blacksmith in 1 minute or less... And if you go to a class nearby usually it's a 3 day class. And not free like mine are.
Thank y'all for watching! If you are interested in a custom made knife shoot me an Email at newmexicoforge@gmail.com also go checkout @I drew Productions
Indurire con la fase di tempra e poi forare con il trapano non e un lavoro da furbi. La fase di tempra si fa a coltello finito. Personalmente finisco il coltello compreso di fori e una prelucidata con carta abrasiva fino alla grana 600 . Quando sono soddisfatto passo alla fase di tempra , ripasso la lama poi con carta da 800, 1000, 1200, e finisco con la lucidatura. I lavori si fanno seguendo una logica. Altrimenti si fa più fatica si consumano di più gli attrezzi e più corrente elettrica sprecata, tutto questo si traduce in meno guadagno
A couple of the heats was probably a bit colder than they should have been. it was also being forged in the bright sun that day so the camera didn't pick up the color of the steel correctly.
Chair legs, thick ones, make good mandrels for shaping copper around. If they have a taper, you can use a smaller diameter at the ends and thicker in the centre to help get that C shape. Have a look out for old furniture being thrown away and get yourself a free tool. I found one which has two heavy bolts coming out of the top end which can be used to secure it in a vise (or you could just drill out a couple of holes and glue some in-just make sure they’re heavy duty, say M 16 thread).
Well I better get myself a chair leg, I have been using a vice and Anvil, the anvil horn is a bit big. Thank you for the suggestion I would have never thought of that! 😊
you see it correctly! It's a redneck gasoline grinder! 😂 I use solar for the house and small shop, So I can't use any kind of big electrical motors or anything that requires a lot of energy in 1 spot or I won't have electricity for the night. So that's why its outside so I don't die of carbon monoxide. 😂
Thank you so much! This kukri was certainly a challenge to make, lots of experimenting, due to the odd shape I was trying to forge, but without experimentation there is no progress.
Thank you very much! This was especially challenging for me to get the grind lines all matched up perfectly, then like I said in the video I had to restart on the blade and all the fittings.
Fiy everyone, Yes i did show the quench but some people in the comments couldn't see it for whatever reason! No i did not show the temper, this is a video for entertainment, not education! If you want education watch my DIY videos!
Of course there is! quenching and tempering is an essential part of the trade without it the blade is not strong. you weren't paying attention to the video I did quench it, I did not show the temper, but I did temper it at 420.
