Wow..... To have a workshop like that would be a dream come true..... Self explanatory work without any annoying music or verbal diarrhea...... Thanks for sharing ......
объемов нет, вот и чистая. Посмотрел бы я на нее если бы он там работал с 8 до 20, хотя бы недельку. Сразу видно, что кузница хоббийная, а не рабочая.А так да- завидую) Хотел бы я так научится, да у нас на Руси проблемы с кузнецами.
is it jus me of does a metal shop thats cleaner n whiter than a church jus seem wrong?? iv got too much i wanna do to clean up every spec after every job
It completely went over my head when you walked up to my booth on Saturday. You looked familiar but I could put my finger on it! Ha, wel I’m actually a big fan of yours it was a very busy day. We should figure a time to forge together sometime, your work is amazing! Wish I would have connected the dots. Great to officially meet you.
What alloy steel did you use for the business end of the swage? I have never used a case hardening compound but can’t imagine getting an acceptable hardness with mild steel. But, since I’m completely ignorant of the practice, I’m probably wrong. I’ve been smithing for 35 years and have been successful with heat treating for quite some time but never used the case hardening process.
Mild was what I had at the time. Case hardening works well enough so long as the contact areas aren't sharp, then I'd use h13. 4140 is usually what I use for dies.
That blackish powder you use like flux... Is it a case hardening compound? Thank You for the videos, you have 1 more subscriber! Not that you lack those :)
Wow, been so long ago, I had to rewatch video. If you make this die from a forged in round stock, instead for drilling it. Start with a slightly larger round. Then hammer pieces to the proper ID your going for. This will give you more of an eye 👁 shape. Plus put a much bigger entry bevel on the entrance ends, you can take square stock straight into round in one go, you'll get a very round very smooth textured round bar out. If you need a very clean transition between round and square you make a monkey tool if you don't have the proper forming anvil.. Peace out!
