Forging a Ram's Head
Big News! I'm moving into a new building!
I thought I would do one last video in the old farm forge before I leave and I couldn't think of a better way to end this part of my blacksmithing life other than forging a ram's head. At the end of the video I also compared the head to a few that are three years old and were made when I first moved into this building.
I'm now starting a new business, Carter and Duck Blacksmiths, with Bill Carter and I am currently moving into our new building. I will still make some RUclips videos when I get the time and I'll have to get Bill in front of the camera too!

Copper plating with a forge?!
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.3 года назад
In today's video I revisit this method I use to copper plate steel by meting copper onto the steel using the forge. I'm still fascinated and amazed that this works so well and I love the contrast you can create between the copper and scale. I hope you enjoy the video and maybe learn something about this method!

    5:20 Well, I made set of arrows for my gf with socket arrowheads, they were glued onto shaft with epoxy, and after just 1 hit into brick wall - the arrowheads flew off, never to be seen again I didn't try the tanged ones yet, but I think if you put a ring of metal or even wind up some string tightly near the end of the shaft where the head is, nothing should happen to the arrow and most importantly - the head would stay on the shaft, even if you hit a brick or a rock

    Ive just realised, as you were doing the fit up on the bar, that your box jaw tongs look a lot like a pythons head and I mean a lot ...the slight overlength of the flat side make the snake look even more obvious. Nice tongs thanks for sharing.

    Now you need to make some dragon wall bracket holders, I saw some nice ones in Italy last year. So I’m hoping to make some iron torches and brackets for my future shed, still in process of dropping trees so they don’t uproot and squish me . Plus I need more wood for shed/ log cabin. Nice job dude !

  • @kennethelwell8574
    @kennethelwell8574 10 месяцев назад

    I like the "made from one bar" approach, it's a puzzle of how to make, which is satisfying to solve. I find that each iteration gets you just a little more proficient, with a deeper understanding of the form. Did you ever make more shells? I can see the next iteration having the widened mouth area being more dished, but it's a tough thing to do... Maybe it means a thicker bar to start, or an upset end? Maybe it's a tapered spiral mandrel that you can slide onto the handle, and form the flattened segment over, then twist the mandrel away before making the tool end.
