Trying out the blacksmithing guillotine tool aka the smithin' magician

Finally get around to trying out this tool.
I wasn't overly impressed with the results but I think that was for two reasons. Firstly I have never used it before and it is tricky to use first go. Secondly, it needs a specific job so that I can taylor the dies to that job.
You can have general dies but I think I will gather more as each job arrives and I make ones to suit. The steel for the dies is just bright bar EN32B / 080A15, easily sought from any good steel stockholder.
It will be a great asset to the shop and I'm sure I will be using this more and more.
You can buy the plans from my Etsy shop here www.etsy.com/uk/listing/77223...
These are the latest plans with tabs to make assembly easier.

Very well done again Gary!! The fullering dies seemed to work really nicely and I really like the decor die set you made! Those would be really helpful for handles or legs.

@digitaIgorilla 9 лет назад

I was going to make a comment about a spring, but then I read down, and further down and even further down then found the answer! I would never have known that and feel I've learned a bonus lesson too even after the video ;) The fact so many of us wanted to see it spring loaded means we're definitely noobs. Thanks Gary

@1pcfred 8 лет назад

+Ian Lynch yeah today it is all about voice control. Open up a bit, OK hold there.

@Faolan42 7 лет назад

I finally made my Smith's Helper. it is so nice, made cutting and fullering so much easier, especially since I don't have all the tools I really need. I had to alter your design, but it was essentially the same thing. Thank you for your design.

@starforged 9 лет назад

On my round dies I grind the edges off to make an oval so it won't pinch the metal and it works much better. I also have a die with holes side by side and a flat die on the bottom. It make a good cats paw for the base of a leg. Also works for making half round bars. Thank you very much for all the things you do and share. You probably can't hear but I often say thanks Gary while I'm working in my shop.

@AMBOSS_Silesia 10 лет назад

Amazing tool! Good job :) I think I'm gonna make one for myself. Thanks for inspiration. Best regards, Greg

@stanjarmolowicz 8 лет назад

never mind the "spring "idea after seying the rest of the video i change my mind . This is fantastic tool as it is . i may made one smaller version for goldsmith work ..it has endless possibilities and will widen the designing jewelry as follow . Thank you Gary ..you are genius

@donervanchong4159 9 лет назад

Very Intereting Gary! Endless possibilities....thankyou!

@UnbeltedSundew 9 лет назад

Very nice. Looks very effective and it wouldn't take too long to figure out other custom tooling for ones specific projects.

@MysteryTom13 10 лет назад

Works like a good'un. I'd be chuffed with the results if I had made it! I see the Sarries top has reapeared. You must be happy with the way they are playing at the moment. My team (Bristol) are in the Championship final now, too. Hope your shoulders are holding up ok. Thanks for the video. Inspiring!

@remige2006 8 лет назад

Absolutly nice tool. It is sure, like you said secondly, that you will taylor the dies with specific jobs. Inspsiring...

@anthonycook9764 9 лет назад

thankyou for sharing once again it works every well Its only my opinion all tools need those little adjustments to make us happy

@morgan-jadeironworks8313 8 лет назад

I would not add the springs. it is a pain to lift the top fuller but it holds the material and when you strike the top fuller there is no bounce and 100% of you hammer strike is translated to the material. I made one of these because I got tired of the material "hopping" when I used a spring fuller. with the material in contact with the top and bottom tool you won't get any tool blows outside of the area you wanted.

@ericcartrette6118 9 лет назад

I'm a bladesmith looking to make one of these. One specific tool I want to make is a tool that will make nice clean plunge cuts. Nice job on this.

@user-pf2hv8qw1s 7 лет назад

I cheated and bought one. Cost a pretty penny though. Mine is a bit strange, has slots cut into the sides into which the dies fit in. It has a double plate on the bottom and the hardy or lower plate screws on. If you do 't want to set it on the anvil, you can unscrew the lower plate off. I have never tried a spring fuller, although I can see where at times it might be better. I call my "magic helper" a guillotine. I also have cut off dies for when I want to cut a piece of bar stock. I really enjoy watching you work, gives me a really good idea of the time frame in which these sort of things get done. You have a lot of serious stuff.

@Kittani1977 8 лет назад

the biggest thing with those tools is learning the different ways of using the dies. personally i would have mounted the hardy in a star pattern so you could set it at a 90 or a 45 to the anvil edge.

@fpreston9527 7 лет назад

sky's the limit with that thing ! even a hardened makers stamp punch

@user-vc4kn7st5g 10 лет назад

Great work I liked very much

@koningbolo4700 6 лет назад

To aid in keeping the piece level you could do a magnetic stand which you can place a little ways down the anvil to rest the piece onto during the initial "tooling" ...

@alanmyers4297 7 лет назад

For doing that groove in you could use your stop that you made.

@jolj1 8 лет назад

You can cut the radius down or use a smaller square rod or make a set of larger radius for the 5/8 square rod.

@MrJsowa 10 лет назад

1st i hoped you would get this video out soon.keep on with the great projects(i havent even watched the vid yet!)

@Oliwer82 10 лет назад

Hi ! Good videos you have there. Little tip for your tenondie, you can round of the holes, they are too sharp so u get nasty marks. It need room to spread out. They can almost be like oval shape, because its only the top and bottom of the hole that forms the shape when u twist it around.

@johnjude2677 5 лет назад

Hi; About the size of their dies.I am building mine but might need or be better off buying a few of their's and some of some typts that are hard for me to build at home . I hope it helps to setup mine to use some of their dies in my tooling. Thanks good job of showing.

@stvrob6320 8 лет назад

It looks like it would be easier going if you could secure the tool more firmly against your anvil. is the bar stock long enough to go all the way thru the hardy? If so you might could open a hole thru the square bar which you could hammer thru a scrap wedge of wood.

@terrymurphy8117 9 лет назад

I,m with you gary read all comments before you post a question yah I know that after a video has been up there is a lot but you will learn more also it take a lot of time making videos and answering questions so we the watchers should try and help you out, great job on tol it,s inspiring too a lot of us to build are own and if they want springs they can add them and see what you already know cheers from canada

@Edge1775 7 лет назад

I wonder if the dies were facing 90 degrees different if it wouldn't be better, it seems to be limited to the throat size but it definitely is nice for putting a fuller in on something like a knife blade

@garyhuston 7 лет назад

Edge 150 it's only limited to the width of the dies, that is the same whether they are this way or 90 degrees. The length is unlimited either way.

@NSTRAPPERHUNTER 10 лет назад

Well done

@dylanzrim1011 7 лет назад

That lengthways round one would be good for a twist aswell

@IllegalTacos 9 лет назад

That Smithing Magician looks like it would be perfect if instead of a slot for the punches it had a sort of cross or phillips slot, so you could pull out and put the punches in a quarter turn to the side, and then also do a quarter turn of the magician in the hardy hole, so you can very easily see both sides, but also you have the option to swap back and forth.

@FordFracture 7 лет назад

it would be great for putting makers mark on blades you could do both sides at the same time and they would be even and level

@dylanzrim1011 7 лет назад

FordFracture looks like it could take a words worth of punches atleast

@asturias581 9 лет назад

Muy bueno!! Gracias por el detalle de enviar el link. Que bueno sería si la parte superior, retornara a su posición con un muelle, pero entiendo que es para hacer pequeños detalles, y con el hierro al rojo. Muy buen trabajo!!

@garyhuston 9 лет назад

I have already answered that question, look at the earlier posts.

@alanmyers4297 7 лет назад

Have the bottom head smooth and the top head set for cutting gear teeth or a patterned checker

@philloujoy1 9 лет назад

just a suggestion would it be a good idea to put horizontal lines maybe 2 mil apart on the top tool above the whole thing so when you hammer it you can look at the lines and see if you are the same depth on all sides of the bar you are shaping.

@garyhuston 9 лет назад

phil hyms Yes, good idea!

@tropifiori 10 лет назад

I have one of those fullering devices which have found not to be that satisfactory. I think it is because I just have the square dies. I will get some stock and make the tooling you have demonstrated . It looks like a big improvement. Thanks Frank (VA)

@kennlee742 9 лет назад

I can see many uses for it.

@kbbacon 10 лет назад

It works well. I'm sure you'll find it very usefull

@garyhuston 10 лет назад

It will be useful once I have a real job for it!

@rdon60 10 лет назад

that's really cool

@gilotine76 10 лет назад

As always your vids are great. Best of luck figuring out favorite angles on dies. Best to make some of each. Hope your spirit catches more for our craft. Keep up good work and thanks again brother.

@coreyshier7526 7 лет назад

+Gary Huston I like this video and am already thinking of all kinds of shaping dies for it. But I also thought of a fix for the tool to allow better visibility... What about adjusting the 30mm Square Post that fits into the Hardie Hole with a 40 to 45 degree offset (or whatever degree that would make it more comfortable) to turn the front of it towards you?? Such as make another bottom plate the same size but the 30mm square hole is turned off-set by 40 degrees, remove the current square post and attach it to the new plate, then bolt it on the bottom of the Smithin' Helper. If you do that, I'd like to see an update video.

@garyhuston 7 лет назад

that won't happen. I have got used to the way it is. The video was the first time I had used it but now it's no bother.

@Tungsten91 10 лет назад

you should spring load the top die so that it would make it easier to see the work piece between blows. It would also make re-positioning the work piece quicker and more precise

@garyhuston 10 лет назад

I didn't spring load the top for a reason, have you ever tried hitting something that keeps popping back up towards you? It's a royal pain! You hit just as it's coming back up and you end up miss hitting. You end up being slower because you have to wait between blows for it to settle.

@emacantsaoir 10 лет назад

garyhuston Perhaps a little lever loosely attached to the top of the top die. You could rest your hammer on it while you reposition the stock with your left hand

@dam5959 10 лет назад

great set of videos I will have to make myself one, What did this cost to make this? I would of thought the tool would of needed to be made out of tool steel, but I was wrong. I really like all the tool ends you made I have even thought of a few more. Once again good job.

@EvandroLuizgcm 8 лет назад

Very good design , congratulations. You can palgiar . kkkk I am Brazilian Evandro call me and I am starting this letter (only Hobby without financial claims ) as I will do my things alone this device would be ideal for me to do my objects . Descupe me some graphical errors because I used a translator. Obs .: I like your designs .

@mitctyle 10 лет назад

you should try mixing the tools, say the flat bottom tool with the top round one. that would make them more useful overall i think, could probably use it for drawing out some steel.

@shayden5289 9 лет назад

Re-design it so that the holding arms angle out to the side from the hardy support. You'll be able to see what you are doing, and, get the same result.

@jferguson6802 10 лет назад

Hey Gary,I'm new to the channel but love the videos so far. I am retiring from the military and interested in getting started blacksmithing as a hobby. Do you have any advise on building versus buying a forge? I have alreqady gathered up a good bunch of tools. Still need an anvil.

@garyhuston 10 лет назад

It really depends on your budget, skill levels, space and time available. If you can afford it go and buy yourself a water cooled alcosa or similar forge. I would have loved one but as a struggling apprentice it was better for me to build one as I had the skills and the access to materials. Now I've just got used to it! Happy smithing!!

@fpreston9527 7 лет назад

adding a valve spring in between two flat plates could make it hands free . or an ajustable stop for more precise work .

@garyhuston 7 лет назад

f preston please see the previous answer to that one!

@archangel20031 9 лет назад

Twittle it, and beat it? Seriously left the door open on that one! LOL!

@fonziyo 10 лет назад

very handy. can't you nake some sort of a spring to lift the tool up a bit

@garyhuston 10 лет назад

Read the other comments!

@livinggods1j 10 лет назад

Gray, love the videos they have helped me out quit a bit and I was just wondering if any chance you could show how to make a 4 or 5lbs rounding hammer. In stead of me going to buy one, I would rather try and make one. Thanks!

@garyhuston 10 лет назад

Hi Josh, glad they have helped. Unfortunately I have only ever made one hammer in my 36 years working and that was a pain! At my age I can't do that sort of hammering any more and I don't have anyone to strike for me. If you really want to try and make one you should watch some of the videos with Brian Brazeal teaching at various places. I have seen a couple of videos where they make hammers, although I wouldn't want to use one, far too heavy for every day use and they all seem to strangle the hammer by holding it right at the top. In my opinion that is because they are too heavy and you don't have the control you get by holding the handle of a propperly balaced hammer. Just my opinion though!

@livinggods1j 10 лет назад

Thank you for the response I will take that into consideration and stick with a smaller and well balanced hammer. I will go and see some of the Brain's work on hammers just to see what the process is like to make one. Thanks again.

@stvrob6320 8 лет назад

Since the upper hammer rests against your work between blows, do you find that too much heat is drawn off your work and into the face of the upper hammer?

@garyhuston 8 лет назад

Interesting that you single out the top die as the work rests on the bottom die all the time! And no, neither die draws away a significant amount of heat.

@marklambert4457 10 лет назад

Hi Gary, good vid nice dies, I have a guillotine I made ages ago the stop is a great plus as you don't need to concentrate on placing the material in the same place just on the depth of fuller, much better. Do you think you could make an oak apple acorn fullering tool. Pieh do a spring swage but expensive from us. Spring swage close in vice could be used as a mould to pour copper etc. don't know how to make the acorn shape in either a guillotine tool die or even a swage, you got any ideas.?

@garyhuston 10 лет назад

None what so ever!

@gilotine76 10 лет назад

You can use race bearings as a ball or even acorn swedge. If by hand form ball then slightly taper ball. Chisel in lines and voila. You got nuts. Fuller top to stem. Lot of ways to make. Lot of fun to try. Good luck brother.

@ictibso 9 лет назад

nice!!! dies need to be C35-steel or not? and could you give me the link to the plans?

@garyhuston 9 лет назад

@hogheadv2 9 лет назад

Love, the idea. Have you thought of turning the dies 90 degrees?

@garyhuston 9 лет назад

hogheadv2 Why?

@hogheadv2 9 лет назад

garyhuston It would allow better view of the work piece. It seems you have an extra side plate. Your bottom die can hold flush with one side, Captured in the pocket. [C shaped side plate of stout material ] Bolt on capture for the top die. With the Great base design and a upright to keep it square this would allow 3 side access to the tools.

@garyhuston 9 лет назад

hogheadv2 I have no idea what you are talking about but feel free to do that on your version if you feel it would help....

@KtFuhrhalterei 10 лет назад

@123seem 10 лет назад

would hardening/tempering the top of your dies reduce the deformation from hammer blows or would it open up possible trouble from cracking?

@garyhuston 10 лет назад

You can't harden mild steel!

@stanjarmolowicz 8 лет назад

how about installing spring with adjustable tention which will keep the top tool up ?? the adjustment would keep the tool at certain height for different job thickness . but then some stopper has to be installed to prevent the tool form jumping out ... just an idea ..don't know if will work ??

@garyhuston 8 лет назад

Please read earlier answer.

@carltonhinson664 8 лет назад

+garyhuston How would it work as a fullering tool.

@garyhuston 8 лет назад

Rubbish I would think! You would need to modify it by putting in a flat base instead of bottom tool and highly modify the top tool but I guess if thats all you wanted it to do you could spend the time doing it.

@abadonlucif2073 8 лет назад

+stan you are right stan. add spring will do. it will help a lot..

@TheRidgewatbrad 7 лет назад

I'm in the process of making dies out of 6150 steel and hardening them to 53 Rockwell . I was asked by someone if the heat from the steel being worked would draw out some the hardness . I guess the same could be asked about the face of an anvil , mass perhaps ?

@user-xo2mk1dh8m 10 лет назад

Гари очень интересно, огромное спасибо за видео!!!

@samaradella 6 лет назад

Nice job dude .. but why the bits are not hardened? Wouldn't it be better?

@garyhuston 6 лет назад

No point using hardened steel on hot material, if you are worried about damaging the top when you hit it just put a run of hard facing rod across it. I’ve been using them for a very long time and just run a weld across the ones I use the most. Still on the same dies as when I made the tool.

@italoscy 10 лет назад

Gary why don't you try to rotate the smithin magician 45 degrees on the the hardy bar? it might be easier for you to work on it

@garyhuston 10 лет назад

If I did i would have to redesign the base plate, the hole is square to the sides so it will only go 90 degrees. I only can't see it when I'm videoing, when I want to use it properly I would just face it towards me.

@italoscy 10 лет назад

@DiesInEveryFilm 8 лет назад

Hi Gary hope you are well. I was just wondering if you could possibly make me a set of tongs so that I can place knives in my new gas forge. I've found some online but the price is expensive cause it's for sets of 7,8 or 9. If you could let me know and then tell me a price I can then let you know if im happy with that thank you

@garyhuston 8 лет назад

Sorry, I don't make stuff to sell. Why not just make some? If not there are plenty of places that will sell one pair. It would cost more from me to make specially as opposed to off the shelf.

@DiesInEveryFilm 8 лет назад

Ok thank you for your reply I'll have a search about. Just thought it would be cool to get some from you as I enjoy your videos. Thank you for the reply.

@1pcfred 8 лет назад

+Diesineveryfilm Customs Get some 25 cent pliers at a flea market and weld pipes on the handles. Done, and done! The trick really is in finding just the right pipes to use as handles. I have a pile of this thick walled half inch OD pipe that I've no idea where it came from. I have to grind pliers handles down a bit to get them in there, but once I do that it works without even the welding bit. I keep saying I'll weld them on someday. 15 years later it still has not happened yet.

@DiesInEveryFilm 8 лет назад

Paul Frederick strange thing is I have bought some pliers that looked like tongs and welded on some tube so thanks from the past me aha. Check out my videos as you will see them in a few of my builds. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

@1pcfred 8 лет назад

Diesineveryfilm Customs yeah the choice to make tongs, or not is a tricky question today. Considering how many smiths are around, and the quantity of tools available. It is more resource efficient to just use what is available. As forging time, and hammering effort are finite quantities themselves.

@ironsmiter 10 лет назад

I know everyone keepsharping on about sprjnging the top; sorry bout that. I think there IS a bit that MIGHT make it a tad more awesome, and it does involve a spring, but hear me out. I think a spring loaded ball bearing, and a detent in the upper swage could work a treat. It would hold the die up till you were ready, and a simple tap of the hammer before a full strike would drop it into place. When you lose the heat, the work could be used to just flick it back into the standby position. The main advantage would be, you would never have to set down your hammer just to pick up the die that half inch. Less time fussing with tools = more work time at tempature. I recommend my modifaction as a machinist and tinkerer. As a blacksmith, I still use the handle side of my tongs to do those little radii, or an ancient guillotine fuller, if I remembered to pack it. Whatever works. Great design, and awesome video.

@ 18.00 Use the length stopper adjusted to hold the job in between the blades, you even say it yourself, "could probably do with a guide really, to put it up against, so you get it right down the middle."

Have you thought of putting on some springs to it. Then you will have a small power hammer? You will be able to work without having to stop and fix your position all the time

Put a return spring on the hammer side so it resets it after a blow. Will make it smoother to use. You'll be able to rotate and reposition the piece without lifting the hammer die by hand.
