- Making iron an iron bar from bloomery furnace sponge iron at Paul Klaasen's forge, Smederij Klein Project.
The sponge iron, bloomery iron was produced at the DRU in Ulft by Adrien Morat. Tata Steel pellets were used in the furnace to produce this iron bloom. Aiding by striking was luc Meeuwisse
Watching bloom steel getting refined is one of the most satisfying things in my life!
When the punch was pulled out I thought 'what are they doing?' Then you pulled out the tapered bar next heat and I thought "that is pure genius awesomeness!" Thanks for that, it was my favorite part of the video!
Excellent demonstration, and excellent camera work! Thanks for posting this.
I never thought watching a Steel Bar being Forged from Bloom would be so interesting, It's easy to understand how Prehistory Metal Workers were so highly regarded 👍👍👍
The bloom forging videos are so satisfying. Thanks for posting.
Thank you so much for getting back to making videos. You are still my favorite blacksmith hands down.
I miss Joey. Re-watching this and realizing this is the most satisfying video ever
Love seeing bloom steel worked always wanted a piece to work down myself maybe some day. Cool video thanks for sharing
At 2:47 you can actually see melted material flowing through the cavities on the bloom. Really cool.
That’s an excellent striker you have helping. You didn’t even need to give direction on where and when.
Fantastisch om te zien. Bedankt voor het delen.
I’m enjoying watching this video, over and over again!
Well done!!! That’s wrought iron! Work it baby work it! Thank you for sharing, so loved watching this!
So - how many man hours for a small bar of iron (steel ?) ? This shows exactly why anything made of iron or steel was so expensive before mass production, say pre 1840 or so -
A fascinating process that is high on my bucket list of things I want to do -
Great video Joe! You are an incredibly skilled smith and I greatly enjoy watching you work. Thank you!
Wondrous to watch Joey. ⚒🔥👏👏👏
Very cool idea with welding in the bar of iron to make it more wieldy!
It's not Forge welded on, friction holds it.
Fair bit of work hey. Nice looking stock though. Proper nice. Also, nice dies.
Hello ! where're your videos about making steel from rusty nails and forging wrought iron ?
What an awesome video!! Joe your a master!!
Amazing as always!
Great work and video !
Lovely video. Many thanks.
Just the raw chunk of steel on a iron half like at the beginning would make a kick ass fantasy mace
Perhaps you should have weighed that shank/handle before and after as well, to try to estimate how much of that ended up integrated into the new bar.
Meh, stuff falls off when using tongs. Using tongs takes much more time, losing way more material to scaling and burning away in the fire, because it is nowhere near as easy to manipulate as with a porter bar inserted.
in remembrance to the great smith joey veer dan Steeg my inspiration for blacksmithing
So why are comments on older videos turned off? I was just re-watching you turning crusty old nails into bar stock and making a leaf out of it. I love that video and I forgot about your metallic diarrhea comment to describe stick welding. That made me laugh!! I really hope in some way making these videos gets you enough money that it's worth your time because they are so useful and instructional, not just enjoyable.
great stuff man.
so did that part of your handle that you drove into the original bloom get worked into the bloom also?
Thanks.
Only a small bit of the bar gets used up inside the bloom.
Hallo Joey. Habt ihr Borax gebraucht, als ihr mit dem Maschinenhammer begonnen habt, oder hat die Schlacke noch ausgereicht zum Schweißen. Gruß aus Bavaria.
when people criticize industry is beacuse they don't know the amount of work needed to make even simple things
Curious about the part with the half-face blows. Why did you do it that way?
He did it that way so he could draw the material out faster.
Tôi rất đam mê nó,nhưng hơi quá sức đối với tôi ❤
I see you have decided to buy a power hammer, very nice
No, this is not my forge. This is Paul Klaasen's forge, Smederij Klein Project.
Joey, is that a Jim Blurton hammer?
Nope, that is my own, forged hammer.
@@TechnicusJoe Very nice.
Appearently you insert standard steel into the bloom - what is your comment to this, regueading the final product?
Borax pour la soudure entre fer ?
Entirely ignorant question: compressing the bloom seems to be a lot like forge welding. Would it make sense to use flux in the process?
I think he's using flux but he doesn't show it. When you watch the video after the folding, you can see some "liquid" squishing out of the billet. I think it's flux, borax.
@@DarthKuz AH! Thank you!
@@BernardSandler no problem if I'm right😂
When working with wrought iron you don't really need flux. All the stuff rtgats boiling and squishing out are the impuritys that naturally accumulate in the bloomery forge. That just my opinion and I can be wrong tho.
I haven't tried to forge weld wrought iron, but you apparently don't need flux, and he hasn't used it that I've seen unless he was welding steel to the iron. It think the acid in the flux would tend to remove material more than if you just weld it clean like he shows.
Is there a reason(s) why the consolidation was done by hammering rather than using a press?
Bloomery steel needs to be worked to remove slag, distribute the carbides evenly and make the grain size smaller and more uniform
Mainly because we don't have a forging press.
They used to be forged under steam hammers, halve hammers and the furthest back, it was hand hammers for a very long time.
Thank you
What is the alloy used for the stake driven into the bloom? % loss from forging bloom?
Wrouht iron is used on the porter bar.
Making an Iron bar, what kind of Iron?
Wrought iron. Unknown carbon content, but interesting pattern when etched.
Oof.. that's almost 60% loss to scale!
Which is normal when you fold it as often.
Il y a de la perte de masse!
C'est normal, ça.
Can you make a sword ?
Power Hammer. You cheated. 🤓
