  • RESTORING AN ENTIRE BLACKSMITHS SHOP!! Centuries Old Forging Tools Put Back To Work!
    We'll do what it takes to get this blacksmithing operation back in working order! Come along as we restore the anvils, power hammers, and all the turn of the century tools that make it all work. This will be the first video in a new blacksmithing series, focusing on the first steps of restoring one of the power hammers.
    Here's where you can find the Sea Foam Deep Creep : amzn.to/2t5gXfL
    The power hammer would've never budged without it!
    Stay tuned for more off grid homesteading and living off the good of the land!

    Brilliant video and an excellent job getting that hammer up and ready to go again after so many years of disuse. No matter how much you have on your plate,, there has to still be time for a magical place like that, where dreams aren't just created, they're forged into harsh reality from fire and water and iron and steel! :)

    • @Mk1SpitfireGuy

      Possible colloquialism for iron, as in "shootin' arn?"

    • @MS-gn4gl
      @MS-gn4gl Před 7 lety

      The Good of the Land David is correct. There's a community of people at vintagemachinery.org and owwm.org who restore old machines, and that's the name that's used to refer to old cast iron.

      +warren michael we just got to talking and one thing led to another. I think the main reason they chose me was my lifestyle and the appreation I had for their collection. We had the same goals of refurbishment without full restoration and I have a background in restoration.

      I have a friend that just gave me a nice junk of rail, it is something to start with. Now I am looking for some tongs. I restored my Blacksmith hammer I purchased at antique mall for $6.50, Handle cost me $3:95. SO Slow steps for now. Thanks for the inspiration, actually more like an answer from Prayer.

      +Perry Denman I am going to make a video on converting old horse hoof nippers into tongs. You can find them everywhere and they are cheap.
