I watched this video years ago, and quite liked it. (Frankly, my life back then was a lot better than it is now.) I came across this again today and I sat there completely taken in by your talent, and the nice result you achieved. And for a little while, I felt like the weight of my loss and my problems was lifted off me, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching you make that handle. Thank you so much. I wonder if you ever consider the positive impact you make on a viewer’s outlook; if you don’t, you should.
That’s awesome, fire place tools handles! Thanks mate! Superb.
Watch the update, it improves it.
Hey Gary, we tried this it works like a charm, used 4mm electrodes bent in half gives a handle of about 130 plus long, just don't unwind too far.
Welded to a fire poker handle and finished it looks wicked antique coppered.
Thank you for all your videos, but especially this one because you've just helped me work out how to do something for a viking themed project.
No to je nádhera. Gratuluji k překrásné práci a úžasnému nápadu. Původní dojem byl, že jste to zaplétal jednotlivě.
excellent video, i made a couple of these, and they made realy good handles for a welders slag pick, and a hot punch.
Amazingly, I've never seen anything so amazing.
Thanks for sharing your work, I consider pure art.
Hug from Brazil!
Really enjoy your demos, your ideas and your layed back approach. Great videos and instruction. Thanks very much.
You make it look so easy...Nice Job!
I bet you could get some wicked Damascus patterns like that.
Love your work.
Just a thanks for your effort in educating us.....
great I need to try that looks awesome
Great video!
what a great idea thanks for posting
Good stuff!
It can be done by wiring them all together then forge welding but you need to be super good at forge welding not to burn the twists. Personally I would buy a welder!
You cold use TIG rod! Would eliminate the need to remove the flux off of the SMAW Rod. Also you can get TIG in Stainless Rod, Just watch how hot you heat it!!
awesome video!
When you weld welding rods together
Yes! Have a browse..
I know exactly the problem you have. Firstly the round needs to be REALLY tight in the vise to stop it moving, you could put a tack of weld on the ends to help. The second problem is slightly more difficult to help. The twisting bar I use is not made specifically for round but the round does fit nice and snugly. You could push the bars through the twisting bar and put a pair of vise grips on the ends to stop them coming out. Also 3/16" may be a bit thick to twist cold depending on the grade used
Amazing idea turned out very well, thanks for sharing.
Lovely idea Gary. I noticed a really nice forged knife sitting on the shelf near the wall of your workshop, at approximately 6:30. Did you do a demo on making this? Thanks for another nice video!
What hammer du you use for forge weld the ends?
An english engineer hammer? What weight has the hammerhead?
thank you
Great!
i have failed at this multiple times with 3/16s: trying to understand why when I twist-> 1. the bottom ends separate in the vise (is that the end you 'folded' but remains one piece) and 2. why the twist starts preferentially at the top of the rods, then works it way out of the twist bar before ever reaching the bottom of the 2 rods. Is your twist bar custom made for round stock?
nice!
I gave this a try, and I have a question. welding together welding rod is very tricky, it is just melting apart on me even at low welding temps. any tips or tricks to make it easier?
+matt mcdowell You may be trying to use too small welding rods or you just have your welding set too high. I'm guessing you are trying with an arc set which isn't an inverter, with an inverter set or a mig set it's dead easy.
hello sir "!! nice video
but can you tell what is the name of that tool in video with which you are twisting that bar
Just a flat bar with a square hole punched in it!
i want to use this technique for a project I'm doing at school. is it possible to twist together 4 lengths of rods at the same time as I want them to seperate at the end like tree branches. also what kind of metal is a welding rod? is it coated in something particular or can I use a standard metal rod that I could use in a brazing hearth?
Yes it should be possible to twist 4 pieces depending on the size. You may need to weld both lots of ends together then twist then cut one end off to open them up. Welding rods come in lots of types. I just used mild steel rods which are flux coated. The flux must obviously be removed before you use them. Any mild steel rod will work.
I've tried it and it seems to work but i am attempting to use a 6mm diameter silver steel rod but you make the twisting part look so easy. what tool are you using to twist the metal and is it expensive? if so, is there a substitute i could possibly use?
+Jayda Bailey you are really asking a lot to twist 6mm rod by hand especially if you are doing four at a time. I just did two 3mm by hand with slotted wrench. Years ago I twisted seven 10mm bars together, six around the outside and one down the middle to stop them collapsing. I did it cold to get an even twist but I had to use a monster of a lathe to do it.
You may have to do it hot but that brings its own complications!
МОЛОДЕЦ РЫЖИЙ ПЕНЬ . ТАК ДЕРЖАТЬ.
might make a cool knife handle?
is the flux you knock off the welding rod useful for anything?
No, nothing
It helps to fill the trash can.
gracias amigo
Super
cool
Thanks you are one smart man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you do the second twist cold
Not sure which twist you mean. If you mean the one I did hot then I have no idea! I have never tried it cold as it would probably be too hard to twist. Give it a go and let me know. Also check out the updated twist, it's much better looking.
The updated twist did look much better. I'll try doing the hot twist cold and let you know how it comes out.Thanks for the reply, I enjoy your videos.
looks a little like a full persian mail weave
👍
Супер!
@sean6201 Thanks, :o)
Если делаешь из четырёх то крути дальше и изделие станет квадратными и будет выглядеть как ручная плетенка

It's just an ordinary 1 1/2 lb ball peen hammer available in any hardware shop..
Недораскрутил чудило)))
cool
