- Blacksmithing in real time, and my first foray into closed dies. A simple technique with so many possibilities, I am looking forward to making and using more in the future. Enjoy, and feedback welcome!

That was slick! I wouldnt discount the flats from forging on that piece, definitely shows that it was forged, I like it.
Very cool
Oh for a Smithin' Magician.
Or a helper 😂
Nice!
That's pretty slick. Making some closed dies could be useful for many different applications.
very nice video this week. very nicely explained on this video. hope you get great use out of your tooling for many years to come. cant wait to see more videos soon. keep up the great craftsmanship an hard work. forge on. keep making. god bless.
cool demonstration I don't know how many of those you tried but that one was a great result....how long did it take you to get it working every time ?
Хорошее видео, спасибо. Теперь надо выпустить видео об изготовлении штампа, матрицы.
Very nice 👍🙂
Thanks for sharing
You would know better...
But, coming from a more modern
production production side,
If these were to be made large
scale for project / profits...
Why not make 3 sets of dies,
where you could start with
roundstock, fuller neck & run
with dies ?
Would this be plausible ?
Thanks! Yeah, if I were making thousands under a power hammer, then yes I’d make several sets of progressive dies and skip the freehand fullering. But I don’t make many of these knobs, so it’s not worth it yet.
Excellent camera work. Do you drill and tap them?
Thanks! Bo does an amazing job. Nope, these get tenoned into latch bars and riveted in place.
how would you attach these to a wooden desk drawer. It looks really novel.
Two ways. You could drill and tap for a machine screw, or draw out a longer shank and then thread that.
@@AxeAndAnvil Either way sounds good. Love the look of it.
The knobs don't have to be either/or all the same and perfect...they are a one of a kind, hand forged item with character. You want all the same and perfect, go to Home Depot. :-) Nice work. These could be worked great with a treadle hammer, no need for power.
I’m not shooting for objective perfection, but I am shooting for what I value as quality work. Yep, a treadle hammer would work, but I have no plans to get one.
You don’t need it perfect.
Of course not, but I enjoy pushing myself towards my own standards of craftsmanship.
