Nice black semithing

Going to try this one. I do charity work at a museum were i forge. Nice on to sell

Still coming back to these tutorials and my tongs are slowly getting better.

damn thats impressive!

I very much enjoy seeing something other than making tongs. Nice work friend.

Unistrut with internal springs, grip trigger, grip handle for shotgun reset, maybe even a magazine with auto load. Pump action unistrut shot gun, maybe even shoot grapeshot. Pulley reducer for powered pump action. Is there a way to use a small spring? Instead of multiple?

I love your videos....they are so informative as well as entertaining.

Great looking tools my friend.

Great demo I learned a few things by watching

Nice

Аппарат вполне приличный. Сделан очень добротно. Но я бы вместо большой гайки поставил резиновую или силиконовую прокладку (втулку) для смягчения удара.

Cant i just use a herbert fright 3lb crosspein as a top fuller?

Make it a rope cocker and cut that heavy handle down to get more power

Where do you get 4.5” x 7/8” scotch brite disks? Great video. Thanks.

Very good Master.

No! You butchered that shoe! Haha jk. It was fun to see and Im glad you did this demo. Im a farrier and I have learned a lot from your channel. I like to make little gifts out of horseshoes for their owners. Its a fun way to show appreciation. Thanks for your videos!

Muito legal essa pinsa,sou aprendis e vou tentar fazer.

There's some orks that would like to have a word with you...

I’ve just found your channel now mate and I must say your videos are the best I’ve seen so far, pretty bummed you’re not releasing videos much anymore. Love your work!

Dan, I want one add to it. You know the upgrades! I like the design. Im 100% interested. I'll keep in touch. Don Higgens "American Patriot" 😊

I really am surprised to see that you don't wear any ppeother than perhaps a pair of glasses when working with red hot metal, a leather apron should be mandatory imho.

Im a surveyor, i use hammers every day. I also use a gps pole. I typically use 3.5 pound hammers, but 2 pound hammers dont really cut it. Less swings is less strain. That isnt to say i havent had problems, but my gps arm is far worse than my hammer arm. I have some bone spurs, constantly was getting tendinitis in my elbows. My gps arm has 18mm bone spurs vs my hammer arm with 12mm. I too was concerned with longevity. After speaking with numerous health professionals, i learned that damage to my forearms and wrists (i cant do standard pushups anymore) was largely because im not engaging my shoulder properly while using both the gps and the hammer. My forearms and wrists were taking the force. The reason why my shoulder wasnt engaging properly is because my posture has me hunched too far forward and was having limited mobility. They were absolutely correct. Been fixing it, my forearms and wrists are both improving. My swings are on point. In terms of technique, its less important per say to think about how youre swinging the hammer and more important about to think about how youre striking the object. Use the weight of the hammer to do the work, try to hit it as square as you can, and finally, this is the part that takes a lot of practice: pull in the hammer just a little bit back towards you just as its about to strike (that helps ensure youre putting the most force into it). Only keep as much grip on the hammer as to not lose the ability to control it. If youre trying to determine what is the best weight, bigger is better...but only if technique doesnt suffer. I mean being able to reliably swing the hammer by gripping it as far down the handle as possible, and being able to control your aim without excessive grip. A good idea is to have multiple hammers, and if youre finding your technique is suffering from fatigue, drop the weight down by half a pound. If you run into fatigue at 2 pounds with proper technique, then its time for a lunch break and rest. Edit: I'd like to add, it's worth looking into getting a graston tool for massaging out the ligaments in the forearms and the wrists. Don't try to emulate what you see on CZcams what people do with those. They are experts. Go much, much lighter on yourself. My wrists are starting to return from it, and I wish I knew about it years ago. Literally cost me 20 bucks cad.

I would pay loads of teef to have one of those. IF YOOS MADE ONE I'D GIVE YEH TEEF FO' IT!

This is interesting stuff and I’m glad I found your channel. I have some hardened ballpeen hammer heads and I’m making new handles for them. I’m thinking of using a Chicago screw to secure the head to the handle. This means drilling a hole through the head from side to side, right where the handle hole is. My questions to you are as follows. Do you think a Chicago screw will hold up and secure the head to the handle under normal use? These heads are 3” long. Not big. How do I soften the steel to drill the hole and then restore its hardness? Is the hardness uniform throughout the head or is it softer on the flat end? I know nothing about this topic and I’m learning as I play. Thanks for your help. Paul

super travail mais trop de bla bla

Your anvil face is a hammer, and believe me, it's not made of medium carbon steel. Steels of the same hardness don't necessarily share other properties. Your hammers are lacking.

Hammering down a hammer.

Fukkin great.

You could use the final "slam" to trigger a lever which whiplashes the bolt at the end of its travel. This could be as simple as a captive weight on a pin attached to a lever or a spring. This is the "whipcrack" launch method, and it could add a subatantial final "kick" up to final launch speed. You need a much longer throw, and more powerful springs. You can also lightening all the moving parts, maximising the acceleration.

Thank you So well explained . i understand an learn this way thanks again

Great !

Light on but great work great skill sets great tutorial video

You Brits can use the word “piss” in the most artistic ways. Brilliant.

Last pair of tongs I made (bolt tongs for 30 mm hex stock) took me about 30 hours. All hand hammering, using a charcoal forge and manual bellows. I learned a lot from them, and they are quite close to what I was envisioning. Next ones will probably take me half of that, because of what I learned. You need to put in the time to learn. Understand each step of what you are doing and how to move the material where you need it. It takes time, sure, but that is true of all skills.

Imagine if u put this.much effort into getting ur gun rights back

mossy's war hammer

could some 1095 work for a punch like that?

I’m a little late for the raffle, but this is awesome work. Great content

Мисля да се занимава с коване и твоите филми са ми много полезни благодаря поздрави от България желая ти здраве и все така добра майсторска работа

Nice Vid. However, I’m somewhat puzzled as to the choice of the punch material. Why not use a designated heat-resistant tool steel rather a chunk of a forklift tine? Heat-resistant steel is capable of doing the same job without the need to quench it every other blow, and will last that much longer. I have punches and mandrels I’ve made from such steel 25 years ago, and they are still in constant use with minimal dressing. Those made from simple allow steel such as the tine all wore out and got tossed in the recycle bin years ago. Just my two cents’ worth. Thanks for the Við.

Mein Kompliment...du bist ein sehr informativer Lehrer

just for the camera work alone, you get a like. for the knowledge i gained your legacy lives on

Shot?????

I think me watching battle bots videos mate CZcams decide to show me one of your old videos. Had to come see what you were layers vid was. Glad to see your doing well. Hope the projects keep on coming. 👍🔨 Also, watching you put your hand in the gas forge made me jump. Quickly realised it was the day after and it had been gently cooling the piece overnight 😅

Where can I order one of these hammers?

👍👍👍👏🙂

Браво, мастер! Из пластины отковать пруток - это очень практично.😊 И ещё. Мой тебе совет. Сделай наковальню на пару дюймов повыше. Тебе будет легче работать. А то ты постоянно в наклоне...
