Thank you for watching! Glad I could be of help. I'm going to do a video soon going into detail about my forge. Part of my shop tour series.

I just got the eye drifted on my first one I'm making of course I've upset the edge and I was gonna go shape it today and I saw this. I'm glad I did I think I will go back and split it and put a piece of file in like you did seems like that worked really well great video glad I found it you got a new subscriber here thanks bro!!

What i did notice about you was your 100% wrist work,and that is how to use a hammer the proper way,i watch a lot of people do what you do,but the are all arms & that must end up soar.

@refinersforge1781 3 года назад

Yeah early in my blacksmithing career I watched a lot of Brian Brazil, Alec Steele (before he got into just making mostly knives and swords) and some other guys from that philosophy. I can swing a 3 or 4 lb hammer all day (holdingbit towards the end of the handle) and not have any elbow or shoulder problems.

@andrewgoodell5899 Год назад

Why did you get the straw color then re-quench? Was that in lieu of tempering? Great video!

@refinersforge1781 Год назад

Good question. That was to lock in and stop the temper. If I didn't quench it the heat would have continued to build and gone beyond the point where I wanted it. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@andrewgoodell5899 Год назад

@@refinersforge1781 Thank you for the reply. Is this an alternative method to heating it in the oven for an hour then letting it cool a couple of times? I’m new and learning!!

@refinersforge1781 Год назад

@@andrewgoodell5899 yes that is correct, just a different method of tempering.

@Blakgun 4 года назад

Great video. Very nice work on the hawk and the video. Well done. Liked and Subbed. I'm new to blacksmithing - did you temper the edge? I'm not sure how to work Nicholson file metal.

@refinersforge1781 4 года назад

Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! Yes I hardened and tempered the edge.

@tomasbelko6423 6 месяцев назад

when i forge axes from rr spike they get all crooked, is it because im begginner and it will stop happening over time or is there a issue that can be fixed right away?

@refinersforge1781 6 месяцев назад

One piece of advice I could offer is try to make sure everything is straight or relatively straight at the end of each heat. If you let things get to catywompis without correcting it can be hard to get it corrected. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@chrissoto7187 5 лет назад

question would lawnmower blade work for an edge bit to?

@refinersforge1781 5 лет назад

Depends on the mower blade. Some great and some not so great. Do a test piece first. See if it will harden and temper well. I forged a draw knife out of a mower blade and it holds a great edge.

@chrissoto7187 5 лет назад

Refiner's Forge thanks! I usually like to use files for damascus knife blades. Fun fact I learned to be careful on what steels you use when making damascus because if they have different wear down rates it can lead to poor edge life even if you use high quality steels.

@refinersforge1781 5 лет назад

Good info! I haven't dealved into the Damascus realm. Farrier's rasp would make a good bit for this.

@chrissoto7187 5 лет назад

Refiner's Forge can’t wait to see that video! Think you can also make an Anglo Saxon style sheath with it? I’m surprised that not a lot of blacksmith RU-vidrs give it a go. Very interesting design and clever incorporation of leather and metal.

Yeah, I don't know what happened. After editing and upload it got desinced somehow. I tried to fix it but no luck. Which really stinks because it is my most viewed video 🤣. Thanks for watching!
