Spring butcher tool for the anvil hardy hole - blacksmithing tools

- Spring tools can be a handy way to secure both top and bottom tool at the anvil for the single person shop. Today I will experiment with an idea for a no weld spring butcher tool that is made from a single piece of 1/2" x 1 1/4" steel.

I could listen to you play the banjo all day. I've always loved the sound of the banjo since I was little. ❤
Loved hearing you play the banjo! Love your talent !! In all you do sir! So talented in so many things! I’m jelly! Keep it up and appreciate all your videos
Your banjo playing really lifted my spirit. I was kind of down , it's just too hot in my shop to forge and I have a desire to manufacture some tongs and tooling. I came across you playing with confidence and control. Causing me to stop and really hear the melody. It's a very joyful sound. Thank you John S.
You probably heard many times that your a very good man. I pray you never get tired of hearing accolades. But at that risk John S. Your a very good man to me and my sons. I often watched and tried to forge things you have shown. Now my oldest son will sit down as ask Dad are we going to watch Black Beat Forge. It most often a joyful yes.
Whole lotta respect, i can't play any instrument.. nicely done much appreciated for sharing.
Excellent video always easy to understand and I must say the Banjo sounded great
You are a great teacher. Enjoyed the video and the hat. Take care👩🏻🌾
Thanks as usual John! I always like your videos. Thanks for being so informative with your demonstrations. I thought it was great that you played for us!❤️👍🏼👏🏼
My pleasure!
I really dug the banjo at the end. You should have it as your outtrow
I enjoy your banjo as much as your blacksmithing. You are my #1 favorite blacksmith btw
Liked the banjo section and and can't wait for the giveaway, usually your videos pop out about 4 -6 am in Poland but as soon as I wake up i watch it, so i can't wait until the random hour giveaway video is up. Keep up the good work.
I didn't see that coming.....That was AWESOME John ...🔥🔨
Thanks for the tune. 😄
John, love your inventiveness with the tools and you didn't do a bad job with the banjo either. Keep up the good work sir!
Spring budger making, Music is superb of favourite Artisan in Black smiths. Thank you
John your rocking that banjo awesome
Another video to add to the much enjoyed list. Then you did some banjo playing! I heard that learning to play the banjo really good is hard to do, but luckily no one knows what good banjo playing sounds like. Fantastic job on on accounts!
😂😜
Rhythm with a hammer and a bango !!!!!
Love the banjo music!!!!!
Master Craftsman, Master Video maker.
So few would recognize WE can't see the job. I was thankful you moved 90° out of your way to show US The work on the pipe bender.
Bravo sir. 👏 and Thank You!
We need to hear you and Annie playing a duet......your banjo and her mandolin. 😊
That would be fun, butI have real trouble staying with someone else
Banjo was pretty good.
Banjo’s rule.... your right, banjo & blacksmith’s just go together, keep plucking and hammering.
My musical skills go no further than hammering so to me the banjo is great! Keep producing your videos, you are a very talented tradesman and i learn a lot from you!
Upvoted for the banjo!
John, I do like the banjo pickin. Have an idea for attaching the tool steel dies to the mild steel springs.
Punch a hole down in the end of the dies so the mild steel will slip in, punch a cross hole thru both and rivet.
Just a thought.
Like the Banjo always wanted one perhaps one day
Loved the banjo pickin.
Mate that was great; definitely including the banjo.
Thanks
Hey John, for those who don’t have an arc welder yet I picked up a DC inverter stick welder on Amazon for just under $300. Best part is it’s a 120volt machine (can also run on 240v) that strikes an arc very nicely with 6013 rod. Great tool for the beginner that is very small and weighs less than 15 pounds! FYI..
Hi John
I just ❤your banjo. Thanks for the video.
Grand Ole Opry here comes John picking and forging! Good Job sir.
Nice banjo playing !
Awesome video as usual and thanks for sharing them. On another note, maybe you could do your banjo picking for video intro/outro. Yeah that would be pretty cool.
Banjoooo is amazing good job!
Dog-gone-it John quit making things look so easy I love your videos that was a special treat at the end there awesome
Great work John, and great picking.
Great video love the banjo
I think you sell yourself short, you're pritty good with that banjo! The anvil tools without modern welding would also be a good thing to look into for future videos 👍
Thank you for this video/tutorial/inspiration, and gratitude to "one of you troublemakers..." Two heads are better than one, and It's neat how the community helps each other with ideas. :)
Banjo playing blacksmith here. Thanks for the video. Have a need for a spring butcher and was thinking of forging one out in this style. I think you've convinced me not to waste the time for now and just to weld up a shank, a spring, and the dies until I can make the investment in a good guillotine.
I think a welded version does make life easier.
Hey, guess what. I kinda play the banjo a little, just when no one is around to listen. I wish I could play good, fooling around with it is somewhat relaxing. You did a really good job. Thanks for sharing with us.
Terry from South Georgia.
Loved the banjo playing - as always most interesting content. 👍👏🇬🇧
When you said I'm not going to boar you watch me draw this out, I thought I bet he's going to use the power hammer. Made me respect you more that you fessed up, good man!! Billy
I try not to BS anyone to badly. Although there are quite often things that happen off camera just to keep the videos from running way to long.
That was a good and straightforward demonstration of simple tooling that will do the job. Very well done!
Looking forward to the "tool to be especially proud of" edition!
John loved the banjo was stomping my foot and clapping.
Good Banjo, I have been a blacksmith for years and have only in the last year gotten serious about this craft. I play the Violin, actually Viola. Strung as a Viola C G D A. I cannot sing and accompany myself with a Violin. I have a Mandolin...maybe that is the answer. But yesterday I was looking at the old fashioned 1800's Banjos, five string Banjos...the model you have. And you also play it without a pick... I Am into this . Wonderful how it just happens to come up in a video by a Blacksmith I am watching today. Thanks for sharing
Paddle,errr hammer faster I hear banjo music! LOL! Great video.
Great video John! I liked your banjo playing also. I myself play the trumpet and bugle for veteran's funerals. Keep up the good work!
Happy Thanksgiving many thanks to the Lord who provides and our home in heaven that he is made when we get there
Fantastic! Banjo and all. Learned a ton, and was entertained. Thank you!
Thanks for the tune.
Another great video John. Thank you for sharing. Love the banjo!
I'd be happy to play the banjo that well :-)
Great video. Don't sell yourself short, Your pretty good at that banjo!!!!!!!
Love that banjo music John. One of these days maybe I can learn to do smithing.
You sound better on your banjo than I ever have on my guitar.
The best! I’m a Russian beginner (I’m 69). A lot of thanks!
Lets see some 3 finger roll :-) I tried teaching myself the banjo. It did not work out. Keep the great videos coming!
I started off trying that style, but I much prefer Clawhammer and old time to Scruggs style and Bluegrass.
I like the banjo music! I'm a musician myself!!
I'm making everything from nothing to pursue my passion for smithing. I built my own forge and anvil, still have a long way to go. I'm working on my first hammer. My current hammer is a small claw hammer lol. You should add the banjo music to all your episodes!
Awesome John! Great video. Love the banjo.
awesome vid , the banjo playing was good to hear,as a younger guy i do listen to bluegrass when in my shop its calming
Hah brilliant, needed a spring top/bottom fuller today. Will go ask and make this now. Not afraid to break out the welder, but having only learnt last year I appreciate those that can't. Do need to get a stock of 1 1/2" mild for tool stems.
Also, from someone with zero musical talent but a good ear for tune, you play brilliantly. Tom foolery always very welcome in this channel, especially when it sounds that good.
Thanks, I sometimes use square tubing or a "U" shaped piece of flat bar for hardy shanks.
I know anything about vielding before this, and I got some banjo too! I subscribed, thanks for sharing your knowledge. Love from Norway
Love the banjo 🪕 would make great intro and exit music for your channel! Thank you for the great video
When you said another 10 to 15 inches my right arm and shoulder went on strike! After the power hammer news I relaxed, not that I have one but hope that maybe one day.
What a pleasure to watch a master Craftsman teaching less than 400 to go for your 10000 congrats
Great video John. I also really liked the banjo at the end. I love the sound of them for some reason. Have a great day.
That was very good play better than what I tried to when I was a kid... my aunt played the piano and sang at the Grapevine Opera Grapevine Texas all kinds of entertainers in when I went I would hang around the back saw the entertainers that was on Hee Haw she was friends with Lulu Roman and the church my Grandad then my dad pastured she would sing and play there we had our singing group called The New Man singers it was lots of fun. Sounds great I wish I'd kept it but my parents wanted to sell it so okay I probably tortured too many people with it.
I just re-watched this video, and enjoyed it again. I had a thought which might make this type of hardie tool more useful. On the loop that goes into the hardie hole, if you make it long enough, it'll sick out the bottom of the anvil, and you can drive a wedge into it to lock it onto the anvil. It wouldn't flop around so much then.
Man you make some of the best videos on you tube. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Great tutorial. Love the banjo!
little late any you might have seen this suggestion but make a slightly triangular piece that can fit through the gap in the hardy hole section and that should help with the bounce.
I think for these tools just having a longer better fitting hardy shank would help tremendously. But I have made tools that use a wedge to lock them in solidly.
Liked the banjo, I am a musician, been playing bass guitar for 55 years. I've been in traveling bands house bands and weekend bands. I build instruments and repair them. I also play piano , fiddle but sometimes I think I'm the only one that knows what song I;m playing. I also play rhythm guitar. I am a master carpenter, graduated a welding course at our local community college. I am presently going to college as a music education major. hope to teach beginer thru high school band. I'm 65 and have been blacksmithing for 4 years. I love steel and making things. Plans are in the works for a gas forge I will build so I can do some demos at some fall festivals this winter. I love your vids, very informative.
Well...
There ya go....
Intro and outtro music demo!!!
😉😄😎
Thanks Much! I am learning tons from your videos and I greatly appreciate it! I am a guitar player and also dabble on the banjo as well. You do just fine. The important thing is to have fun in doing so. If your having fun then your a banjo player for ser! Thanks Again! DaveyJO in Pa.
Another great video John!!
absolutly loved the banjo!!
Always enjoy your videos, great tips and practical application of your knowledge. Thank you!
Thanks John for sharing and making some great fun stuff. Love the banjo
awesome!! Love watching your videos
LMAO! I knew the second you said "I'm not gonna make you watch this." about the drawing out that you had just realized what you'd gotten yourself into and you were heading to the power hammer. (I know from your video on hammer technique that you don't LIKE using that 4 lb. hammer a lot.) The fact that you came back on a few seconds later and admitted to it just made me laugh! I could actually tell right away anyway, because the power hammered section looked so much more finished than the rest.
Sir, please let me make this clear. You speak my language. You approach projects from an angle that demystifies some of the tricks and techniques that many (most) experienced Smiths can not or will not explain in digestible and useful nuggets. You are instrumental in helping me learn a skill that I have ZERO background history to draw from... and you are just so good lookin' that it is a pleasure to attend your classes. Yep, I'm here five to seven days a week studying. I'm sorry that I don't have the money that I truly feel that I owe you for lessons. Thanks Man!
Glad to hear you are enjoying the videos
I like the Banjo
oh yeah. love the banjo
Thanks
All kinds of talent!
I’m a less than ideal blacksmith but play banjo guitar and mandolin and I love some cripple creek claw hammer!
Nice picking. Thanks for the information and techniques.
Yep an Intro song is born lol. Good job thanks!
Thanks, for an all around great video. I really enjoyed it.
Good video, Great ending.
Wooow! good advice! and also good music! thanks, have a nice weekend 👍
I love that anvil! And you really know how to utilize it.
Nicely done. More banjo😎
Black Bear Forge, ты делаешь очень полезное и благородное дело! Бог тебя не забудет!
