FORGED DOOR HARDWARE - I didn't even make one wrong part this time! NOT! Haha! (facepalm) 

Some people learn from their mistakes and others never recover, and some of the things you come up with to save the situation are truely inspired. Thank God for Martin. 🍺👍🇦🇺

Awesome. The struggles keep you humble. Thank you for the inspiration 🙏

Really enjoyed that! Great vid, loving the editing style and a really nice project! Thanks for sharing Tim!

Thanks for all your work; I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who stuffs things up. Unfortunately I don’t have Martin to do all the remakes, he’s a legend.

LOVED IT SOOOO MUCH!!! More of this please 🙏👊

It looks awesome, you both have noticed that a machinist job isn't always easy, it was my world for more than 40 years, l am currently learning your craft and finding it equally difficult. Love your channel

Bad ass ,that will really set the door off on another level Great work

Clean that damn hammer up lmao

Really like how this turns out. Great job Timothy & marten. Can't wait to see more videos. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Forge on. Keep making. God bless.

Beautiful work!

Great looking work ....... and that poor hand hammer has seen better days! Ha!

The result is great! But the way to get there..pfff... Tip from another proffession: don't go for the 'quick' solution, in the end often the worst. It's good to see you do a pilot first to see if it will work. Thanks for sharing!!

Awesome. It's always good to learn from mistakes.

I love this built... great job guys

Absolutely stunning! Nice work

Great job!

Nothing better for a good morning, than watching such a stylish craft work! :D

Hahahahh.....”non profit “ I heard it like this, some days you’re the statue & some days you’re the pidgin! Love the content!

That is Gorgeous 👊

Tim this is a cool video especially the commercial break You and Marten were perfect

Real pros learn on the job, by doing it. This is great.

Dude that came out great! Also really enjoyed that little bit about the last piece lol

Whoa! Seeing the plate deflect on first milling op makes me want to choke up on the vise! The pin is probably a better option in the long run. Very impressive! Lots of ways to make a door latch and you just found a great way!

That came out great. Nice work guys. It may have taken longer than you wanted but look at what you have learned. The next one will take far less time man. You just can’t put a price on experience. Thanks for sharing it with us. Tim

Nice film work an from a blacksmiths view great project

Turned out spectacular mate I would like it on my door ,and for the little errors thanks for showing them.

They look so great! Exxxxxeeeept for that ugly lock cylinder. I was so hoping you were going to cover it with a small forged swing cover. Other than the shiny modern lock sticking out like a sore thumb, they look fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

Hi again I’m sorry but Joe Elliot’s comment has been driving me Nuckin Futs. I just don’t see a need for this comment. You just can’t compare store bought hardware to hand forged hardware. Maybe I read it wrong but that how I’m viewing it. Don’t get me wrong Baldwin makes some great hardware and I have been installing and servicing it for the better part of 40 years. But it’s not in the same category as this hand made lock set. I don’t see it as being over engineered but rather made to last. In a 100 years this lock set will still be working as well as it does today. You can’t say that about Baldwin. I could go on and on but what’s the point. In a nut shell I feel like today’s commercially made products are made to fail and this hand made lockset was made to last a life time and then some not over engineered. I don’t know why this has been bothering me so much but I just had to get it off my chest. 😂 Im not trying to bash you Joe you are certainly untitled to you opinion as are the rest of us. I just had to say something so I could stop thinking about this. Thanks again Guys Tim

Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls

Cool channel guys. Thank you...

that's beautiful

The piece of the handle that was suppose to be a pressed fit but wasn’t could have been fixed by using a cold chisel to raise splines around the shaft. It would then be a pressed fit.

heat it all up and brush it with a copper brush, leaves a cool looking finish.

Nice video 👍

Hey man awssome vids coming outta fucking solid country!!! Eh?? Lmai.boss sounds like a hardass.3 month paid vacay to hawaii is NOT too much to ask😬.lol. keep hammering out vids man!! Your fucking awesome. Jeff from p.e.i.

The best part about not making money on a job is that you learn a lot so next time you can not make money faster!

aight ill play safety patrol this once. Tim, your hammer, mushrooming, edges, need, grinding off! although...I've never seen or heard someone talk about the mushroomed tool edges splintering off like projectiles from personal experience. good choice on reworking the locks shape, the second design looks more comfortable to turn.

Many appologies Tim, did not mean to dislike the video. Undisliked and reliked immediately. Keep up the great content!

Where can we see it on the door it belongs to. Cool channel just found you so binge watching.

How do you get flat faces when your hammer is beat to hell lol

1:02 "Can't stop" avoiding copyright claims.

How does it attach to the door?

So on that 8.2mm broached hole you don’t really need a full square. If you drill the pilot to about 8.8mm you are left with four corners that index on the spindle. More than enough and much less material to remove with the broach. Door hardware design and manufacturing is more complex than it seems at first glance. Very good job. There is a pretty steep learning curve.

Do yourself a favor and get a 4 jaw chuck. Yes the part probably deformed some from broaching and caused some out of round. The other issue is 3 jaw chucks use a single screw to close all 3 jaws at the same time. This has a flaw that when the jaws get worn and the screw wears out some the 3 jaws dont close the exact same amount. This causes the jaws to close a small amount out of perfect center. This is an issue when you cut a part and then remove it. If its not put back in the exact same way its easy to see .010" or more of difference. Especially if the jaws have been opened up a great deal more for another job. A test is to put in a part, do a surface cut, then open the jaws up all the way, rotate or clock the part 180 degrees and then clamp it back down and do the same pass again. That should show you how much run out the jaws have. Hope this helps. Purchasing a test indicator will help you to measure and see any run out before you cut. Hope this makes sense and helps you better the quality of your work.

How long did it take

Just realized you're drilling with a countersink?

Do you know what would be kool is to make it out of Damascus

Nice, you have that video all locked up.

Maybe you guys should go back to pancakes!!! Just kidding, you did get there in the end and thats what matters!

Okay, that thing is sexy

Can u show pics of it on the door

Dude, what on earth happened to your cross pein??!!

Very nice work you are a real professional. I like watching your videos but the shape of your hammer just kills me. Why not reface and clean up the edges before it chips and hurts someone. We not only show our work but we should also show how to properly care for our tools. At any rate keep up the good work.

seems way over engineered... really need to look at the baldwin mortise sets ... much easier to mate to and quality mortise locks
