Always enjoy your videos. Thank you, so much for your time. I think you wear ear protection all the time but as a 61 year old with tinnitus, for viewers, always wear it.
Glad your back on your RU-vid. It’s always good to learn from your videos and your work. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.
"Smart" and "Dapper" are two terms that I would love to be confident enough to apply to my finished projects if I was good enough! "Botch job" and "You won't see it from my house" are closer to reality though 🙁 I have some mild steel gates to repair, and I'm hoping that when I'm done people won't be able to see the botch jobs because my filing and grinding hid the worst of the mess. A good thick coat of Hammerite might also help.
Welcome back Sir. Was contemplating a search party. Question: how did the blacksmiths or yore mushroom the tenons into place without their having an oxy fuel torch to concentrate the heat on the desired location?
I've heard the purporse of the side holes in monkey tools is to see how deep the tennon is and make sure you don't upset it against the bottom of the tool, since then it would be almost impossible to extract.
Are you hitting your guillotine tool with a rawhide mallet? I knew you were weird but.... 🤣🤣 I'm guessing so you don't have to clean up the tooling a lot
