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!

In today's video I take on a challenge of making the very wacky Jacob Sheep. This particular bread of sheep have some spectacular horns which were fun to try and make.

Copper plating with a forge?!
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.2 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!

    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 6 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.

    "...an actual floor". You lucky bugger, you youngsters don't know you're born. When I were a lad, we didn't have no lardi-da floors, no, we had to hover in our hob-nailed socks. Couldn't afford boots. Bet you've got boots as well. I used to work 26 hours a day down t'pit then walk 30 miles home just to get my head down on my pillow for 15 minutes before walking 30 miles back for another 26 hour shift. When I say pillow, it were the brick that me da used to throw at my head for being a lazy, soft b'stard. To be fair, he had it hard. He used to walk 40 miles for his 30 hour shift with only 10 minutes sleep. And he had no brick for a pillow. Didn't have no socks or boots either. Still wore the hob-nails on his feet. So, fair enough.😩 Happy Days!😥 😂Re the vid and how the cooling works, if your tuyere/tue-iron (I'm with you on this 🤔) is the same as my Alldays & Onions side-blast, you'll notice that the outer piece is a (truncated) cone. Therefore, as the end nearer the fire heats up, the water at the narrow end becomes less dense, start to travel sideways AND up the cone towards the tank and is replaced with colder water rising up along the lower side of the cone to replace the water that is being heated. Love your vids btw. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
