Very cool Glenn. Thanks. I could see how the different guillotine dies could be used to make all kinds of decorative punch shapes because of this simple vid. (basically anything you wanted to file/grind into one or both dies). Awesome. I find it amazing how much heavy industrial process can be simplified into (or was possibly derived from) the simple blacksmithing tools of the past. Thanks again.
What I lack (most of the time) is imagination. With the right thought process, so many things can be created through blacksmithing. Tools to make tools... Thanks.
Good to see your getting settled after the major construction. Always interesting and thought provoking posts. I like Randy Richards in The Shop observation with the bolt head. Clearly this could be a specialty tool set ie square, hex etc.
I'm finally getting back to business as usual and not going bananas fixing the roof leak. And yeah, this could go in a lot of directions depending on the head type. Thanks.
What a brilliant idea! I am always impressed by your experiments Glen. You teach us so much each time, about the benefits of playing around with differet approaches. From RUclips's ever-present Algorithms, I've now been instructed to look at The History Guy's episode from a year ago, about _The History of the Philips Head Screwdriver._ Amazing how Artificial Intelligence works out all the key words to make full rounded study of the topic!
Honestly, I'm also learning as I go along with stuff like this. Technology is amazing but that computers can instantly figure out our habits is also a little unnerving. Thanks.
Funny thing is that I thought about arrowheads when using this die set. These videos are great way for me to learn as I go along, doing stuff like this that I really wouldn't do otherwise. Thanks.
Planning on making myself some high quality screwdrivers. This is going to help me a lot! Its so hard to find nice cabinetmaker screwdrivers or gunsmith screwdrivers these days.
With some practice, I think this method can be used effectively to make some quality screwdrivers. But I also potential for other things like certain chisels or arrowheads. Thanks.
Now you just need to forge a set of screwdrivers from RR spikes. Phillips head screwdrivers are actually MEANT to cam out, in order to prevent overtightening.
I'm outside but under cover. And I'll extend the roof line soon. The best way I've found for preventing rusting is by frequently using/handling tools. But I also sometimes spray and wipe stuff down with oil. Thanks for watching.
You should make a quick meme just for laughs before you finish it. Turning a screw with the screwdriver end, by turning the bolt end with a wrench. :) o7
Very interesting. When you were using the dies, did you turn the stock 90 degrees between hits or were you only turning it 180 degrees (turning it over)?
Please be wary of unknown steel, especially if it react curiously, could be toxic. Of course you are outside, still,remember Murphies law.Stay safe, you are too appreciated to lose.
Although that steel was unknown, the one known is it definitely is carbon steel and so I should be safe there. But yes, some metals (or coated steels) are very toxic at high heat. Thanks for your reminder.
A heading die in the hardie hole works better. D2 is a good choice for the header die. A grade 12.2 bolt should be a good choice for the screwdriver. Just sayin' cause been there!
Here's a "chicken or the egg" joke: How did the first blacksmith make the first pair of tongs without tongs?... I could come up with some practical answers, but it's just fun to say.
The screwdriver came out real nice and functional, it would work great as a impact type screwdriver with that bolt head. Nicely done.
This sort of die setup seems like it can be used for stuff other than screwdrivers. I'll keep experimenting. Thanks.
I enjoyed this one a lot Glenn, I love seeing real everyday tools and objects made the old fashioned way.
I'm very glad you enjoyed this video. Interesting project ideas are hard to come by for me these days. Thanks.

Need a tool, make a tool. Nice process. Thanks Glen.
Tools to make tools. And I guess the first tool was a hand. Thanks.
great idea and video as always hand made tools that work well are where its at.. wanted to see one of your classic handles on it tho...next time.
I will definitely do another screwdriver. Thanks for watching.

Screwdriver look cool specially with bolt head. U got more working space now👍👍🔥🔥
I'm really liking the extra space. Thanks.
Wow, that´s a cool idea to forge a Phillips screwdriver. I use nearly the same dies for forging 4 winged arrowheads.called Tudor-style.
Funny thing is that I thought about arrowheads when using this die set. These videos are great way for me to learn as I go along, doing stuff like this that I really wouldn't do otherwise. Thanks.
That, is, just, so cool!!! Great idea and awesome job!
Thanks for watching.
Have you thought of leaving the stock square and placing it in the dies with the corners in the slots?
I didn't think of that. Maybe next time I'll give that a try. Thanks for sharing.
Seeing the post vice always amazes me.
I get good use out of that vise. Thanks.
That wasn’t carry on . Lol
Awesome idea! Great video! The ideas you come up with are always incredible 👍
I'm running out of project ideas and so at this point, I just play stuff like this by ear and hope for the best! Thanks.
@@gstongs from the viewers side, it always seems to come out great. Even the ones that aren't as good as the rest. I always enjoy watching them👍
I just love to see all your videos and it's fantastic to see what you can make out of nothing.
I'm very glad you enjoy watching. New ideas are hard to come by for me these days but I'll do my best. Thanks.
Nice job. We posted this video on our homemade tools forum this week :)
I really appreciate you doing that, again...
Amazing never would have thought it
I'm also learning as I go. Thanks.
excellent, this is the answer to a different problem i was working on. thank you.
Very glad watching this can give you insight into something else. Thanks.
Unique and as always, Nicely Done!
For stuff like, I'm just making things up as I go along. Thanks.
Awesome! thanks Glen...
Great idea thanks Glen!
Thanks for watching.
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Big thanks.

My screwdriver here definitely cams out so good to know that! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Glen.
I take your point on the mystery steel dies. I just made some from A36 and now wish I'd made them from 1045 as I can already see some deformation.
I usually mark steel that I will set aside for awhile pretty well but that wasn't the case with this. Thanks for watching.
Your work always amazes me.
Thanks for your support.
Please try and hold the piece still for a little longer and in focus so we can try and see the detail. Thanks
Yes, that can be a bad habit of mine - always moving and never stopping. I'll try to remember to show workpieces longer. Thanks.
Like the other commenters I like this idea. Great project.
Thanks
This turned out fine but I'm sure someone else can employ this die idea and do an even better job. Thanks.
Looks like your shop is pretty much outside, how do you keep all your equipment from rusting? Your videos are excellent.

Ha! That's a very good one. Thanks.
That is actually a n interesting concept. I wonder if you made it a bit larger you could make a hand struck stone drill. You know, the star points.
Rawl plug tool
I think what you mention is certainly possible. I will have another go at this in an upcoming video. Thanks.
Thanks for watching.
Вітаю. Дякую за відео. Завжди цікаво дивитися. Лайк.
Thanks for watching.
Nice Glen, had no idea you could read Russian!
That makes two of us. Thanks.
Hi Glen. Like your content. Where did you get your square bench avils from?
The small, block style anvils I use are my own designs which I had made here where I live in Taiwan. Thanks for watching.
Very interesting. When you were using the dies, did you turn the stock 90 degrees between hits or were you only turning it 180 degrees (turning it over)?
Good question! As I remember, I only turned 180 degrees. I'll have another go at this. Thanks.

Thanks for your kind comment.
The lack of a guard on that grinder in the beginning made me cringe a little.
In this case, it's definitely a case of don't do as I do. I'm not great at promoting safety... Thanks.
A heading die in the hardie hole works better. D2 is a good choice for the header die. A grade 12.2 bolt should be a good choice for the screwdriver. Just sayin' cause been there!
Live and learn. I'm definitely doing stuff like this on the fly. And learning as I go. Thanks.
Here's a "chicken or the egg" joke: How did the first blacksmith make the first pair of tongs without tongs?... I could come up with some practical answers, but it's just fun to say.
I like and appreciate the joke. On a practical level there is a technique called "no tong tongs" for making tongs.
E-bay?
Tools needed to make tools. And I suppose that first tool was a hand - a very hot hand... Thanks.
Is that like "the art of fighting without fighting"? But seriously, thanks for watching and commenting.
A very modern response... Thanks.
It turned black in the forge because you burned it🤣😂.
Great upload as always!
Ha! Never thought about it that way. Thanks for watching.
