The master sees only the the flaws while the novice wishes to attain that level someday. Another great video, thank you.
I think we all focus on the parts of our wirk that weren't as good as we had hoped. But it is one way we improve
Hey John, I love the Sunday hook of the week because I know on Sunday I will have something I can watch. I like things being regularly scheduled. Have a great day and thank you for your videos!
I am currently trying to maintain a Wednesday, Friday, Sunday schedule. Short tips, techniques or discussions on Wednesday, a more involved project on Friday and the hook of the week on Sunday
@@BlackBearForge Awesome! Thanks John!
I love old buckets of "stuff"! Awesome Video John... Thank You much for the inspiration and giving me so much of your knowledge. The Blacksmith community on RUclips is amazing. Have a great week John!!
Love just want your junk becomes in your hands
Thanks for the video John Switzer
I was tasked with coming up with the "Forge at home" project for this years Indiana Blacksmith Assoc conference. And I decided on wall hooks. Anyway I'll try to get some good photo's or possibly a video of all of the different hooks next weekend for you.
Most folks would be happy for that rack as is. Sure the rounded rivet wold have been classier. But a blacksmith rack on the wall?... I'll take it every time. Nice project John👍
I had this same issue at the shop a while back. I was working on drifting and riveting, and I took a small piece of 4x4 and set that on the anvil. Then I took a piece of hot steel and rested it on top of the rivet tail to make it more malleable, while the head is facing the wood.
Thank you for another fantastic video 👍
Woooo! Hook of the week video! I have to say I'm really loving this series a lot. It just one of those things I'm sure SO many people can relate to. I meen everyone has a bucket full of little odds, and ends "useful treasures" around in their shop. I really like the idea you had today for this hook. Definitely put a bit of a dent in the pile, and a great way to use up odd pieces. I was a bit sad to see you modify your tool just for this project, and then not have it work out as well as you would have liked. I was also sort of surprised that you didn't use the same ball punch to countersink the bolt holes on the backing plate since you had it out, and the plate was already hot. Fantastic project in the end! 👍 👍 I look forward to this series almost as much as the "Count down to Christmas" one. Thank you so much for this! Great video as always, and can't wait to see what comes out of the bucket next!
This is my first time watching the hook of the week series, I like it! Nice work. Look forward to the next one. :)
Glad you enjoyed it
Sir, thank you for this channel 👍🏼❗️
I just made one of these! I should have watched the video first!
You ain't no Blacksmith,sorry sir, but You obviously surpassed that standard long ago, Your creative talents mark you as an Artisan.
The hooks just keep getting better with each new one.
I think some kind of hook is what a lot of beginners in blacksmithing do first. So you get general practice moving metal around, reduce the scrap pile and even end up with something usefull in the end. Hooks!
Nice hookset. Maybe a larger one with cowboy hat hooks and coat hooks? That would be a great setup for the cowboy/cowgirl in your life. I'd say anywhere from three to five hook-pairs on a backer-plate like you did here would be great for the lodge or the bunkhouse.
You know, I think I see a future video for you making a tool that could set the rivets and maintain the ball head on the rivet.
I have been a professional welder for over 20 years but I enjoyed the fact that you worked this project out without welding and in my personal opinion the looks of it are just fine well done and thank you for the video
We as our own critics see all the faults, the people who watch see the greatness, fantastic idea for a set of hooks. Well done i would say.
Nice industrial look. I'm "hooked" on this series!
Awesome video!! I just finished a coat rack myself. 3 leaf hooks and I attached them to a beautiful Juniper log that I planed down. It turned out gorgeous.
HI JOHN rely like it when you use rivets i am boiler maker we just grab a welder and weld it and when clean up we grab grinder but now watching how you work rivets will be used and files I like when show a mistake and how to fix it cheers
Nice project bud.. I just did something like this a Francis Whitaker inspired coat rack. 5 hooks. Really like the hook smashed in with the rivet look
Thx.again ...paul
Nice form, like it.
Yay!!! Now lets watch...
Turned out real nice. Glad you included the "Fix" too
🙏blessings your way
Crawford out 🧙♂️
I love hook Sunday's!
My audio went out so I did not hear a word but the steps are clear without narration. I teach hot rivet method, this tends to suck the rivet tight as it cools though piening from the top tightens the joint too. If piening is done to all the exposed rivets the same then it looks like a feature not a mistake LOL! Another good lesson. About the only thing.. I thought you were going to hot punch rather than drill (I could not hear the words .. remember ? LOL) While I agree drilling when cold is a good method the demo could have been just to the next level with hot punching. Great job !
I try to mix up the options depending on the video and the project.
Afternoon John ,
Your Idea of the Coat rack , was very good ! It was a shame , but I am sure , at some close time , you will correct that ! Very Nice Video ! Be Safe and Take Care !
KEEP HAMMERING !
I think it looks good!
Very nice.
I liked the project even though you are not completely happy with it.......BTW I noticed your touch mark on a hold fast that Renaissance Woodworker (Shannon Rogers) was using. So cool your products are used by the best too.
Nice job John. Thanks as always ⚒ on!!
One of the great things about smithing - need a tool, make a tool.
Well done, thanks for show us you ideas...
Loving this hook series. Awesome
Excellent! I need a few of these, I’m gonna try this.
Perhaps a shallower dimple may have worked as well giving more bite to the rivets top.
Very nice idea I think I will try this I! Thank you
..i was really rootin for the tubing, well sooner or later. Couldn't you have used one of your eyeball punches to keep the head intact?? Good job Sir...!!
They were not the correct size
Not that your vids need anymore class but the music at the end is a nice touch.
Thanks, I appreciate that
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls
Would it have helped if you'd heated the backs of the rivets with the torch? They then wouldn't have needed as much force to set and would have tightened as they cooled.
If the whole rivet is heated before being installed and peened then as you mention it is easier to set the rivet and the cooling of the rivet will suck the joint tight thus negating the need for tip piening
I used nails on one of coat hangers.
Did you see alec's sasquatch trap?
If not go watch it but could you do a tutorial of how to make a normal bear trap
That coal forge looks so depressed and forgotten about. Show it some love John... ;)
I tought of you and also made scraps into usefull hooks....five all for different jobs.We are jiving junk steel a job ....hanging stuff...
I like the video and will likely make something like this myself eventually. The only thing that bothers me is that third hook next to your touch mark. This sort of obsession with symmetry is one of my bigger issues in a workshop. Mostly because I'm hamfisted enough that I rarely achieve it.
Ive been wantimg make make a hook rack like that only with a wood wall bracket
Drift the holes a bit square. When rivets get set,hook can't turn...
Man I can’t believe how badly you botched those rivets John. That’s bush league. Lol just kidding I think the project turned out beautiful. I wouldn’t change a thing.
Curious.. why the steel block under the drillpress? Is it so you don’t have to find a wood block?
It stays true and if you always go through the same hole it lasts much longer. Its actually a large machinists block than can be clamped to the table if desired.
Adverts, we want more!!.....
That can be arranged
Привет с Киева 🤗
what price would for this coat hook rack?
I would sell one like this, or this one, for $45
👍🐾🔥⚒
what forge is that you're using? i know it's not critical to the project yet i'm looking for a new smaller forge for the space i just moved into.
I am using a Chili Forge
Nice project John. Are you going to re-purpose the cutoffs from the 1/2 inch round? :)
I thik they were to short to be of much use
@@BlackBearForge I know, just kidding. It's hard to throw anything away, cause ya just never know if it could be of some use.
@@BlackBearForge I forge them flat and sometimes put some design. My grandkids use them for play money.
I would have ground the bevels on the back plate, not hammered them.
Well that's what blacksmiths do, not grind unless we have to. Lol
Generally I prefer the look of forged bevels over ground, but it is up to you
I love your videos but I wished you would upload only 2 or 1 video a week
And why is that?
Okay, I did a search like I recommended and none of the images turned up. While I don't want to come across as "spamming" your vid, I think this might be something you'd benefit from. I can't say I invented the concept (sure I will! :D ), but I haven't seen anyone else using a vise like this. Even after I've published the pics, folks seem to just not borrow the notion.
So, here ya go! If you check out facebook.com/pg/Three-Rivers-Forge-1464348780520592/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1870922726529860 . That's the photo album from my FB page. If you look through the pictures, you'll see how I attached the hardy stem. Simple welding and some threads to cut, but nothing you can't handle. And it works a dream for holding things on the anvil. The vises are super cheap on ebay and they make great third hands for on the bench, so I don't know why folks don't have three or four of them sitting around the shop.
Hope you find this of benefit.
I sw the post in the facebook group
@@BlackBearForge Yea, totally forgot I could do that! Sorry for the clutter here! :D
