Was anyone else squinting when he was using the cut off wheel??? Lol!! And that last demonstration would look cool at the end of your tong handles!!! Keep on keeping on man!!!🍻🤙👊🇨🇦
For sure, this tool could be used in a variety of ways on tongs and your idea for handle ends is perfect. Thanks.
You gave me an awesome idea! Yet again coming to our rescue. Thank you Sir
Glad you could take away any idea from watching. Thanks.
That's a cool tool im thinking i will be making one very similar, thanks for sharing Glen
I think the potential of a simple tool like this is great. Hope yours works for you. Thanks.
U have the best ideas could be good for hammer eyes
The idea of using this for hammer eyes did cross my mind. Great minds think alike! Thanks.
Very useful tool, good job 👍
I agree. I can see a lot of uses for this simple tool. Thanks for watching.
Love the idea - I will have to knock something similar up for my hardy that will take my guillotine tool dies. So many times I really only want the affect on one side of the material being worked!
A top and bottom guillotine tool like what I sell is fine but has some limitations. I see this simple tool as being more versatile for some work. Thanks and good luck.
Waiting to see what you do with this tool. Nice.
I've got some good ideas. Let's see... Thanks.
Nice tool. Will make your work easier for sure.Love to see it in use
I have some ideas for how to use this simple tool best / dies that will be useful for me. Let's see... Thanks.
Nice as usually.
But ....On the plant where I am working (ArcelorMittal, btw) recently occured fatality accident due using a cut machine without safety guard on cutting disk. Destroyed parts of disk on high speed cut worker's neck.
Your comment is a very good safety reminder. Taking the guards off of tools entails risk. Thanks.
Nice Build Glen....you always give good new ideas and spawn my inventive curiosity! :)
As usual for me, nothing fancy here. But I see a lot of potential for this tool. Thanks.
Got yourself a handy dandy gadget there yeah I reckon so. Many options available. Knowing you you're already thinking of a few tweeks to the system and that's no insult its just saying the truth your always contemplating on something. Yup I like the idea.
🙏blessings to ya now
Crawford out 🧙♂️
I'm definitely thinking about different uses for this tool and how it might be improved. You can be sure I'll make some adjustments. Thanks.
Nice work!
Thanks.
Nice idea Glen, you may have just re invented the blacksmiths helper!!
Most stuff I do is fairly basic - I don't have a very mechanical mind. But sometimes simple works out better. Thanks.
I like it and I can see lot's of uses for it, I can see tong jaw shapes coming soon.
Yes, I also see tong jaws (you know where I'm headed). But I also see tong jaws in my sleep! Thanks.
You might consider placing a thin mild steel plate on the anvil face to protect it from oppsies and also protect the edge of your tool.
Great tool... well done.
Much appreciated.
Great idea! Love the anvil's. Do you have a fly press? All the best!
I would really love a fly press but my current work space just won't allow it. If and when I move to a larger space, that will be one the first tools I purchase. Thanks and good luck in your work.
Awesome tool Glen! I'm glad you didn't use you fingers the second time removing the cut piece from the shaft lol looked like it was hot ;)
I should put out a disclaimer saying to not copy all I do. Many of my actions like that are silly. Thanks.
Au debut j'ai pas compris ce que tu voulais faire mais le final est génial superbe outil j'adore.
I didn't explain this well at the beginning because I only had a rough idea of how I wanted this to be. But this simple tool turned out well and I can see me using it for a variety of things. Thanks.
Great stuff, very well thought out, useful project!
As usual for me, nothing complicated. But I feel this simple tool will be very useful for me. Thanks and good luck in your work.
Enjoyed your video and gave it a Thumbs Up
Much obliged for the usual thumbs up.
If you were to make a short sleeve of that pipe, drill & tap for a set screw, and then weld a quarter inch rod, bent 90 degrees (with the bent end parallel to the axis of the pipe), you would have a lock to keep the top tool from rotating. You would have to weld a short tube to the body for the rod to slide through, or drill I hole in the upright (that would weaken the upright, but maybe not enough to matter.
It's a great bit of tooling, and should work well.
Your mind is way more advanced than mine. I was thinking to keep this as simple as possible. Your idea would complicate things for sure but may make it better. Thanks.
That takes care of the question about the guillotine tool from the last video. This will fill the void.
In some ways, this is more versatile than a guillotine tool. I have some different ideas on how to use this so let's see. Thanks.
@@gstongs Looking forward to new concepts, ideas and projects. Thanks for sharing.
That’s schedule 80 pipe or “double strength” (compared to standard schedule 40) most all schedule 80 is seamless as it’s thicker walls are better for the weld joining the two sides
Thanks for watching and for the informative comment.
Good 👍 dea I’m gonna start on me one right away, thanks!
Very nice work indeed.
Super application. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you like it. Thanks.
great idea as always on this channel *clapping*
Glad you like this. Thanks for watching and for the applause.
I am very interested in the anvil you use. What type of metal is it made of? I probably won’t get it as involved as yours is, utI want something I can use to make knives with.
My block style anvils are made for 4145 steel but 4140 would also be suitable. However, for this steel to be effective as an anvil, heat treating, while not absolutely essential, really improves it's suitability for use an an anvil. And the heat treat may be the most difficult part... Thanks for watching.
Glen GS Tongs thanks for the info!
Best Hardy yet.
Where did you get your anvil?
Lee Davis if you’re asking me, I haven’t got an anvil yet, I’m just a poor wannabe!☹️
The block style anvils I use are my own designs which I had made here in Taiwan where I live. I had four different styles made and am very pleased with all. Thanks for watching.
Muito bom
Thanks.
Round for Tong Bosses
I am exactly thinking of that use. You read my mind. Thanks for watching.
Good Evening , Glenn
That is an excellent idea , Your mind works in Wonderful ways !
I hope it's OK , I made a lot of notes and some drawings !
Is it possible to copy this or will it be proprietary ? I won't do anything till I hear back from you in the comments ! I only use things I see as inspiration , I'm funny that way ! Take Care and Be Safe ! Keep Hammering !
Brilliant!
Thanks.
A well thought out tool. and beautifully executed! I enjoy your videos very much. please send along compliments to your welder! I have welded professionally for over 20 years and he does beautiful work!
The welder is a real pro and someone like you would certainly know... Thanks for watching.
Nice design. Simple yet elegant. Think about enlarging the inner diameter of the pipe (once) rather than the outer diameter of the punch (every time) in the future.
I really didn't need to remove much material from the round bar to make it fit. But you're exactly right - it would become tedious to do so every time whereas enlarging the pipe is a one shot deal. Thanks.
Nice Idea dude. It moves around quite a bit (well it look like it did these things are subjective.) Did you think about putting a tapered wedge under the hard hole passing through the 3/4 stock to hold it fast. works really well. I've people hole every thing from anvils to vices that way. nice video keep them coming.
It's hard for me to notice the movement when hammering and I think the moment is mostly my anvil rocking. My block anvils are small and I don't secure them down since I often move them around to use different surfaces. The idea for a wedge to hold a sloppy hardy tool in place is very good. Thanks.
Another slap head, why didn't I think of that moment... Perfect complement to a guillotine tool, and I'll be making one of these soon. Thanks yet again, Glen. Clyde
This tool, while not a guillotine, seems a bit more versatile for certain things. So yes, a good compliment... Good luck in your work. Thanks.
Very cool Glen!
Hi John and thanks.
OK, Glen. Great idea. I have to ask, though, where you got that amount for your angle grinder that turns it into a baby chop saw?
My baby chop saw is a bunch of piece cobbled together. The arm that the angle grinder is attached to is from an old, cheap angle grinder stand that didn't work very well. I mounted it in a way that works better for me. Thanks.
I think for a couple of modifications a 90° indexing pin and a spring with a height adjustable collar on the top of the ram would make your left hand free
Good ideas but might be too complicated for me. Others have also suggested this spring idea. Thanks.
Glen, You could add a light spring to hold the tool up and out of the way. A button or rivet at the top of the tool would allow it to sit on the spring, and keep it up out of the way. Light spring so you can position with ease. Pretty cool idea Glen, I like it! May have to emulate it! AAR
PS: It occurred to me that you could easily clean up the interior of those pipes with a wood dowel and coarse emery paper. Split the end, add paper, and run it with a drill. easier in the long run as stock is held to closer tolerances than pipe. AAR
Your thinking is ahead of mine. The idea for a spring is great but I also like the simplicity of this tool as is. And expanding the interior of the pipe is smart since it would only have to be done once as opposed to grinding each die I made. Thanks for sharing and good luck in your work.
You are a genius. Now if we can just divert you genius thinking into world domination. 😂
Ha, that's funny - both parts - world domination and especially me being a genius. But I'll take it. Thanks.
This is one reason I watch your channel, your ideas are excellent!
Glad you find this useful. Thanks and good luck in your work.
Yeah Glen that's a very cool idea. I love tool making on my channel and that's thinking outside of the box. Great work as usual
I really needed something like this - nothing fancy but versatile. Good luck in your work and thanks for watching.
@@gstongs Thanks Glen love your work
Nice !
Thanks.
Curiously inspiring! Looking forward to seeing it in future videos
I have some good ideas for this simple tool. Let's see... Thanks.
Q grande como siempre un maestro.muy buen trabajo
Thanks. Glad you like this.
seamless weld pipes are called DOM and can be pretty expensive by the foot, I use 1"2"4" DOM in my business it can run from 4.00 per ft to 45.00 per foot but more stout for your projects especially when it comes to making a jig or blacksmithing projects like the one your showing...great video and very helpful
Really thoughtful tooling. The way it integrates with your little swage blocks is ingenious. Your whole set up, including the seated position is outside the box man! I dig it.
I think living and working in Taiwan has led me to think outside the box much more than if I was in my home country (US). This tool is simple but should work for various purposes. Thanks.
That is a great idea Glen, could be used to make lots of interesting shapes.
For sure, this tool could be very useful depending on the dies. I have some good ideas so let's see. Thanks.
That is awesome!
Glad you like it. Thanks.
that’s awesome
Thanks for watching.
Great idea Glen. I might try a similar thing but with replaceable tool ends that could actually be larger than the I'D of the guide tube.
Kind of an open ait Guiotine.
But anyone ever asks, this is all credit to you.
Thanks for the inspiration.
The way this is set up, you could make and use dies with larger business ends than the interior diameter of the pipe. In fact, I was thinking of doing such a die for this video to demonstrate that (but obviously didn't). All you would have to do is insert those sort of dies from the bottom up. Thanks.
y la proteccion de la mola?
très bonne idée bravo merci pour le partage
I think this simple tool will be very useful for my work. Thanks for watching.
Very cool, thanks for showing us...
Excelente ¡¡
Thanks again.
Nice and practical tool.
👍👍👍👍
Thanks.
Great design you should patent idea...some friendly advise...too save your leg vise from abuse, put a similar size metal piece on the opposite side of jaw to keep it from damaging vise...learned it from a fellow blacksmith on youtube !!! He says it a habit a blacksmith needs to get use too. Anyways great videos and thank you for your contribution to fellow blacksmiths.
Thanks for watching and for your good advice. We all learn from each other...
болгарки без кожухов и спецодежда в виде шорт , такое чувство что ролик русский снимал , вот тока слишком чисто и говорит не по нашему :-))
Матом не ругается , значит не наш!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks very versatile and effective. Good idea!
I can see me using this simple tool a lot. I have some ideas for dies so let's see... Thanks.
🇪🇨👍🏻
Thanks.
Very nice work indeed.
I appreciate your support.
You are a thinking man Glen
Adomiro muito seu trabalho meus parabéns
Necessity is the mother of invention... nice tool Glen! Great vid!!
Very true. Thanks for your support.
