  • In this video I make a taper die to be used under the power hammer and some initial forging tests. I hope to use this technique in future projects coming soon.
    Special thanks to John Rigoni for inspiring me to take on this project.
    Also, I would like to thank Pål Lien for sharing the experience he has had using roughly the same setup.

    Thank you for the shout out :) I like the interchange kiss blocks, a good idea. I find rotating evenly clockwise/counterclockwise gives a uniform forging. Another cool feature is that the "tube" wall thickness can be whatever you want. Looking forward to what you make with it, I'm working on a candle snuffer idea at the moment w/ this tooling.

      Thanks John, yes there are definitely many useful applications for this technique. Some will probably argue that it can be machined to start with, but that's not so easy as it sounds.

    The toolmaking is as interesting as the things made with the tools. It is the essence of engineering. Terry Pratchett wrote in one of his books that with a forge you can make simple tools, and with simple tools you can make complicated tools, and with complicated tools you can make _anything_ .

    Funny, I found johns channel about a year after I found yours and thought how much you two seem alike. There’s a shared ability to come up with tooling and execute in such a way that inspires me. Very cool build!🤙🏽

    Rigoni Ironworks, another great channel. (I always think Rigatoni because I am Italian) Super clean forgings.
    Timothy too, yet another great channel.
    Torbjorn, thank you for showing the creation of tooling and how to work with large equipment, besides the forging of a thing. It helps me grow in skill.

    Oh wow that was awesome. I have always wondered how that was done. I've seen a lot of what they call a seamless socket tool. But I had no idea how you would make it. Very interesting lesson. I could watch your videos for hours lol great video

    • @torbjornahman

    This is pure and simple therapy for me. It’s the small things like the sound of the steel when it’s placed on the anvil. The little nature scenes of your beautiful homestead are very welcome. Can’t wait to see what you have in mind for this. Perhaps some socket chisels? Warm regards to you and your family from Alabama. Robert.

    Nice die. Lie Nielsen still makes socket chisels using the Stanley 750 design. Tom, the owner, said that the socket chisels are significantly more difficult to manufacture. He didn't go into details, but now, seeing this video, I can understand why.
