    This was originally going to be a quick video for my Patreons but I got a bit carried away with it and it ended up being a full build video. It was more about seeing what was possible with stamping into hot steel. The wrench could definitely be better but I learned from it and I really did enjoy the whole process.

      I love how you show that you are still learning in every video! When the wrench came out longer, you simply stated, "I'll consider that a practice one." That's such a great way of thinking about unexpected results!

    • @lourias
      @lourias Před 29 dny

      I am not a metal worker to the extent that you are. However, would it be better to make your "Pask Makes" stamp a little deeper within those letters for a more defined stamp?
      I know that camera angles can make things a bit clearer or not clear enough.
      Perhaps you could make a 2nd stamp so the opposite side gets stamped at the same time. These are ideas, not facts.

      I liked how his process was totally different than what a traditional blacksmith would have done, but still ended up with a nice, functional, good looking tool. I was expecting him to do a version of the draw out, split and bend method that Alex Weygers taught back in the day. It's great when you need a wrench quickly, and is my go-to, but doesn't always make the prettiest tool.

    Very cool project. I have been watching your videos for years, and always enjoy them. That being said... I have two comments about this video.
    - You forge like an Artist. A phrase I first used to describe Alexander Wenger, an artist who wrote a few blacksmithing books. Its a very divergent process, lots of outside the box thinking....
    - Drop forging was a process. Originally done with a "Drop Hammer". It is a "closed die" process, weither that is a single impression die struck once. Or a multi impression die struck progressively. Now this is done with hydraulic forging presses, but is still a closed die operation. A press is set up with a die set, and a run of parts are made, then any flash is cleaned up on a grinder, then heatreated, then polished.
    Then a new die set is installed, to run a different part.
    Open die power hammers, rely on the skill of the blacksmith and the tooling to make whatever you want.
    So this project is reproducing the look of a drop forged wrench, not imploying the "drop forged" technique.
    I wouldn't have said anything, but I saw in another comment that someone thought this was home shop drop forging.
    Words matter, and have very specific meaning. And I know what Pask meant, but someone else was taking away a misconception.
    Fun project. Not any of the ways I would do it. 😉 But very fun. And it looks great and works.

    Another great video. Every time I see a video, I can't help but wish Pask was my neighbor and I wandered over there every once in a while and helped or watched him problem solve a new process. The autodidacticism is SO appealing to me. Not being afraid to mess up to perfect a technique with the tools and skills that you have. Sometimes you learn you need new tools or skills.

    I always thought drop forging involved big crucibles of molten metal and house-size press. Thanks so much for posting the video.

    Awesome job, that is a mighty fancy homemade wrench. p.s. Definitely worth getting a bead blasting cabinet, once you get one, you will find yourself using it constantly.

    14:27 - oh, that's _your_ notification. I was trippin' out for a moment, trying to figure out what had caused the notification sound, when I didn't see anything new. :D
    Anyway, very cool to see drop forging in action in a home shop that's not specifically oriented around that kind of work! Nice stuff, Pask. It looks brilliant. :)

    I would have been disappointed had you made the finish appear store bought. I try to personalize my projects with hints of imperfection to identify them as hand made. You did very well. 👍

    I was seriously debating on doing a similar project today when I was fixing a couple of things around the house and trying to figure out how could I make a homemade wrench. I open youtube and boom you upload this video. Of course I jumped right in a watch the whole thing.

    What lovely project, thanks for demystifying the process for us! Adding skills isn’t a waste. One might value one’s time higher than the cost of buying a wrench, but I’m almost sure you don’t think like that. Next time, the confidence will be higher, the barrier lower, the result prettier, and the next thing might be unavailable to buy.

    This is genuinely-magnificent! I've been daydreaming about making a bit of a leap from regular machining operations to more hot process work like drop forging (really in my shop it'd be press forging with my hydraulic press). I keep talking myself out of trying - self doubt, natch - so seeing you share your learning process really helps me to get a better sense that maybe I *can* really try this after all.
    Honestly, now with the kids being school-age, but still very young, making things like this which will last well into *their* lifetimes seems much more attractive an effort.
