This Smith manure spreader was missing the left side step casting, so combining forging, a 50 ton hydraulic press, and some flap wheel shaping, I can come up with a viable solution for the missing step mount from the remains of the right side step that was still there. Thanks for coming along.

When Dave said "I wonder if I could fabricate this" how many of us already knew he could & was only playing with us? There wasn't a doubt in my mind.

@phillipyannone3195 4 дня назад

I was thinking exactly the same thing.😊

@thomasbraeking6225 4 дня назад

Dave says: "I wonder if I could fabricate this" and I get comfy because I'm about to watch a chunk of cold-rolled steel get turned into a 100-year-old iron casting. Mr. Engel mooshes steel around like a sculptor mooshes clay! Every visit to the wainwright's/wheelwright's shop is a good visit.

@user-cq2wk2qo4y 4 дня назад

Not a statement on age, but watching you makes me feel like a little boy at my grandpa’s garage watching the magic of making something useful and sometimes beautiful for a specific purpose. That’s been more than a few decades for me and that’s the magic I love!

Dave, I've been blacksmithing for over 30 years, including for the National Park Service. I know how difficult and time consuming it can be to do reproduction or restoration work. I couldn't have done that job any better. It's going to look great when you're done. Nice job!!

@Mopar46 4 дня назад

You've made an almost identical copy of the original, but the beauty of the situation is that the step mounts are on opposite sides of the wagon, so they are not viewed at the same time; however; I'm sure you are like me, and your head's telling you they're not absolutely the same. Everyone else looks at them, and says that's perfection! Sometimes you've just got to let it go. Beautiful work, as usual. It's a joy to watch you making stuff [wood or metal]

I asked a sculptor the same thing as a teenager. He said the same thing. When I became a barber I understood perfectly. Just cut everything away that doesn't look like a good haircut. 44 years later, it still makes perfect sense to me. And like a tree, every haircut is different.

The one skill that you use most often, one most people forget to apply, is deductive reasoning. This skill will allow you to solve the most demanding situations that you find yourself in doing reconstruction or restorative projects especially because of the lack of any plans to help guide you.

@stuartlockwood9645 3 дня назад

Hi Dave and Diane ☺, that's a fair mirror image of that original one. As always it's a pleasure to watch you manipulate red hot metal into a new shape. No wonder in ancient times smith were looked on as magicians of the black art of metalworking, and if I may I'd put you into that same category, not just as a smith though, but in all the things you do, and take your time to show us, many thanks Dave, best wishe's to you and Diane, Stuart and Megan UK.

My grandfather was a trade school educated blacksmith. I used to watch him in wonder make and repair things. You bring back those memories. I usually make weldment look a likes, and when done, I take an etcher, set on low vibration, and finish the item to look like a casting. I like your steel work the best.

@oikkuoek 4 дня назад

The thing is, that twisted piece of flat bar took the Smith probably 15 to 20 minutes to make from start to finish. And for a manure spreader, that is perfectly fine step support. To be able to duplicate a shape is one thing. To be able to fix the problem during lunch brake is a different thing.

@Cheggley45 4 дня назад

I have seen youtube videos where they 3D print an item then produce a mold from it. They mostly do that with Brass or Aluminum because it requires much less heat that Cast Iron, but that is something that you may want to learn. It could open up a new dimension to the way you do your job.

I once took an art history class and the professor was talking about Michelangelo and how he was such a great sculptor for creating his famous "David'. Being a young smart alec, I said he wasn't all that great of a sculptor because the David was already in the block of marble and all Michelangelo did was chip away the stone that was covering it.

@rickaser2383 4 дня назад

Right away, as I was thinking,"Why not fabricate out of steel and weld up a replacement", I knew Dave was going to fire up the coal and bring some cold lump of steel to life; just did not expect that much ofa transformation from a block to the artistic curvaceous footplate bracket. Thanks Dave.
