Blacksmith: An alternative method of forging square corners.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 мар 2016
- There are a few good videos on square corners out there already, so I thought I would offer an alternative method which I use for heritage work as it allows the creation of a nice radius on the inside of the corner - yes, upset square corners can also have a radius if done correctly. I find this method quicker and allowing more control.
Re-uploaded as there were problems with the first edition!
i love the way he explains. his dry humour. spot on
"Flux is pointless for mild steel! ". All about confidence and skill. Great. Simply exquisite.
I thoroughly enjoy your videos, sir.
Very well done! I think that the radiused inside corner is oh so smart. I've got an upcoming project where I'm making the brackets for a shelf for my wife's office downtown. This will add an element that will "raise the bar". Keep forging!
you had me at "beauty patrons for midgets" ! XD Really enjoy seeing your work, thanks a lot for sharing this with us =)
Wasn't expecting that glorious beard...and the forging was bang on as usual. Really enjoy your videos.
Love this video on many levels! Especially the humor "short and hot" lol!!
I'm interested in how you change up hammers. I'm usually stuck on one for a few hours, then change, I'm still working on it. Your work is amazing! Thanks for all your videos.
Such a brilliant video!
Love the video....thank you for taking the time to make them
+Jamin Roy Thank you :) And no worries. I enjoy doing them and I have the time to make them at the moment. There may come a time when I can't make as many, but I'll deal with that when I get there :)
great video looking forward to the next one!
+Hot Iron Art Cheers mate :D
You have some serious precision with that hammer
Very nice,Superb,Amazing😍😍
"Flux is pointless for mild steel " Wasn't it Maudsley the famous British enginer who found that the flux welded anchor chain was stronger than the non-fluxed welded chain for the Majesty's ship anchor chain? That was on wrought iron not more difficult to weld mild steel!
Beauty pageants for midgets...short and hot! Halfway hilarious and disturbing. Good video. Thank you for teaching!
I almost shed a tear at 5:40 xD
+phogelbice Haha, glad you enjoyed it mate :)
They both must be white to get them to stick xD
Nice mate enjoyed this very much. Any chance of doing a swage for us beginners that haven't got one, for doing the nibs for bolt togs, i.e the 90 deg type. Like you have done. I don't have a means with a flat nib, to get it round or 90 deg for holding square or round stock. Cheers.
I am rubbish at forge welding. I think I just need to get a bunch of scrap and practice.
I'd love to see a video on how to make collars
can you show how to make a viking age spear or arrowheads please? i noticed a spear on your anvil at the beginning. thank you
2:35 in i shouted
'I know where he's going with this!' And if im right, that is gert clever mate!
:D
Beauty pagent hahahahahaha
+ctantep Hahaha, you pre-empted my corner, I'm guessing :D
+RowanTaylor Lol, it's what I say to myself literally EVERY time I upset something. "short and hot like a midget beauty pageant"
That is fucking lovely though. how hard is it to work out for all four corners and one fireweld? Bit of a bugger i bet!
+RowanTaylor Yeah, as soon as you said about setting down the 25 x 12 i started getting all sorts of crazy ideas, but the one that stuck is the one that happened!
dirty face = hard worker in my opinion
"flux is pointless for mild steel" what? I have been using borax for ever thinking that it was essential...i'm going to try it without thanks
The Brits typically do not use flux for forge welding. Clearly he is right and flux is not necessary, at least when forging mild steel over coal. I suspect however, that it would be more difficult to forge weld this way in a gas forge.
