Roy very nice job. It turned out very well there. Hopefully you get great use out of it for many years to come my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.
Thanks Jared God bless you 🙏
@@ChristCenteredIronworks Roy you're very welcome my friend.
Very cool. I've made a few crude dies for raised veins on leaves but that turned out very nice. I'll have to up my game if I want to try something like that. Thanks for sharing.
That little treadle hammer was treadle hammering well.
That it was
Awesome video and technique.
Like a charm it works!
It does indeed 😊
new subscriber... came over from Barr Run Forge
First the comment looks awesome bud definitely not what I was thinking you were making when you did your posts on Instagram
Thanks brother 😊
Excellent Roy, have to watch again and take notice of the material you used to make the die! Not fortunate enough to have a fly press yet, still looking!
Keep looking I'm sure the perfect one is waiting on you out there 🙂
Looks awesome keep up the great videos
Thanks Dana for your And Ev constant support ❤️
Nice. Curious to see where you'll use it !
Pretty cool finial tool, would you recommend chamfering the outer edges of the block or is it unnecessary? Thank you for all you do. 👏👏👏
YES that would be good 👍
👍🌿🤠
That’s a handy dandy tool
It hopefully will be for the project I've got in mind
Either they've got AI that really can read minds or God's hand returned you to my recommended video sections, I but scarcely wondered that perhaps I should finally put together a simple charcoal and blower forge I dreamed of in my younger years instead of continuing to dream about the multi-burner gas setups with temperature controlled induction tempering ovens. Not even two days after naught but idle thoughts; and of all the blacksmithing content RUclips might recommend me, I somehow doubt they'd push a guy marketing himself on a faith I happen to share!
Given the opportunity (and no small motivation from your cheap anvil videos) I would ask you as I have only occasionally surpassed a trusty two feet of railroad track rusting away in my back yard since time immemorial as an ASO for my amateur ventures: How valuable is sheer weight in comparison to how refined is the anvil's shape? I live in New Zealand and with such a small population, demand for even only relatively niche products is of course lower than that in America or indeed across the global markets online; so I was surprised to find even one commercially sold entry level anvil domestically. Alternatively through Amazon, even with a shipping cost near equal to that of the anvil itself, weighing 110lbs and shaped in the style of the Vevor you reviewed - except stamped Acciaio with the pritchel hole upgraded to at least half intersect the work surface, and with a slightly less squat horn - for a comparable price. As for the domestic anvil however, it looks like it was designed to win a 3d modelling competition for lowest polygon count anvil - the horn is conically proportioned, which I also prefer, but also is almost a completely square cone with the edges rounded only so much as to begin resembling a circular shape at the very end of the also very blunt tip - and having the same misplaced pritchel hole as the Vevor, but much stronger looking feet to carry the 180lbs it weighs in at.
Having no experience working with actual mass opposite my hammer, this leaves me wondering after all sorts of comparative qualities I cannot yet myself judge: what steel moving power at the same heat with the same hammer am I missing out on without those extra seventy pounds of equal and opposite reaction? Is it a simple threshold or is there an efficiency curve that one moves along by adding mass? Does any of this change consideration if I plan to adopt a striker or treadle hammer? Most mystifying to me is what I can learn about the steel quality in the domestic option, as the store here tells me nothing but the Acciaio purports length one inch and then two inches each both wide and tall above the local option, which I believe suggests the domestic anvil to be of higher density material. Oh and one last, is it even feasible to consider shaping the horn more round than square with a 230mm angle grinder? Might it too much effect the weight so I could have saved myself the trouble by getting the nice shape up front? For any advice of expertise you have regarding any of these wild considerations I would gladly receive!
Sorry for the essay,
