Ahaa!! So that’s the Hardy lock trickery.....nicely done Dan, a very elegant and clever solution. You know it’s a pretty rare thing to order something on line (or anywhere else for that matter) only to find that the seller has made what you thought you were buying even better than it originally was when it turns up. I am impressed! Now stop decking around and get back to work.......anyone would think you’re busy or something :-)
Great job on the tool Dan. Really a major helper in the shop. It's easy to fabricate a slot for the wedge lockup with just a bit of bar stock for those who don't want to punch . Very helpful video.
Hi Daniel, I am thinking of building a guillotine tool, I am a builder by trade. I have seen several BS helpers on other channels, I like yours the best, it can be used for slitting with open ends. The tooling is only limited by your imagination. Keep up the good work.
I like the way black bear forge used a piece of 1/4” x1” and bent it into a u shape then weld it to the bottom of the guilitine tool and that creates the slot for the wedge which is what I used for my guillatine tool
NICE bit of kit!!! Ouchie, i deserve that😂 The Hardy shank helper is quite the useful idea. Really wish id thought of it on my hardy tool. It dies so move about in the Hardy hole. Thank you brother! 🙏 Blessed day and well wishes Sir Crawford out ⚒️🧙♂️
The shank is a great idea. I made a helper very similar some time back. The dies are mild steel and I've found the hammering was distorting the hammer end. I've purchased some case hardening rods and was gooing to
hello . I need your advice. My hardy hole isnt like yours, it is not really deep and then it do a corner and goes out by one of the side of the anvil. My question is, can i forge the tool handle by puting the bar in this hole and strike, so it gonna follow the hardy hole tunnel and so make a corner , or should i stick to a straight but then very short handle ? ( about 4centimetres deep before it does the corner) Thanks for your time and your vidéos
Good question with out seeing it I would say just make it as long as you can. I think following the shape might get stuck. If you want a better answer uses the email below and send me a picture.
For the fuller's I noticed you used recycled forklift material but what else could be used for the fuller stock? And would it be wrong to radius the plates into a fuller from their current state?
On my anvils, this square hole leads to the side, so not possible to make a tool like that. I don't know what a hole sticking out on the side can be used for! You should use a left turn to turn the taps. If you don't have one, I sell the ones I make in my Etsy store😉
Really creative. congrats
Very helpful video thank you so much. Great video. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend forge on. Can't wait to see next video
Dad loved this, such a good Idea how you have worked and modified these guillotine tools. Well done.

Looking like a "very dapper" bit. Of tooling, Sir Danielle. 😀👍⚒️⚒️🍺

This is a fantastic tool. I quite like this. Also, "Tap Snapping" was a great Chumbawamba song.
You may be incorrect. 'Tubthumping' rather than 'Tap Snapping'.
Very nice kit Dan👍
Sweet I can't wait to get mine love the fixing idea so it can be moved at an angle
Just placed my order for a guillotine tool. Love that you are making who use the tools they make and demo :)
Wow, that’s fantastic👍👍👍
Loving the Etsy Dan! Loads of goodies!
Excellent! Love that you show the possibilities for this tool. Thanks
Love the videos, been binge watching them, iim just getting into blacksmithing, your videos have helped a ton!
very cool idea
Excellent video Dan! Thanks very much, I'll definitely be needing a guillotine tool in the future.
Great video Dan looking forward to getting mine 👍
Super profesore metale love albania maestroooooo bravoooooo
Nice tool.
Dan Dan his our man.. if he can’t do it well ... trust him he’s a blacksmith. Nice show and tell brother
Ha ha! Try ‘Dan, Dan is our man....If he can’t do it well, he’ll do what he can. 😄
That’s great to see a forged version of a wedged shank for once. Almost always fabricated. !

Ouchie, i deserve that😂
The Hardy shank helper is quite the useful idea. Really wish id thought of it on my hardy tool. It dies so move about in the Hardy hole. Thank you brother!
🙏 Blessed day and well wishes Sir
Crawford out ⚒️🧙♂️
Great video! I dont have any question now, but I wanted to drop a comment anyway
The shank is a great idea. I made a helper very similar some time back. The dies are mild steel and I've found the hammering was distorting the hammer end. I've purchased some case hardening rods and was gooing to
And to continue... Going to try that. But also wondering what you used for your dies?
I always enjoying watching your brain make tools. Only if you autograph it for me 🤪
Too bad we can't get them in South Africa! I would jump at the chance to buy one.

@@danielmoss2089 all right will do this tomorrow, thank you so much !!I am also affraid it might get stuck in here. respect from france
Nice video as usual Dan. Any special steel for the tooling in the guillotine? 4140 should be OK?
They look great Dan! Any advice on makings a Guillotine tool straight lmao its crooked on its base. Like the leaning tower of piza

OK, dumb question time. What are the butcher dies mostly used for, cutoff tools?
they give you a square edge so you can make a tenon
@@leemoore1123 Got it. Thanks.
@Daniel Moss you got room in your shop for another couple of stickers?
I can make some!
@@danielmoss2089 I've got some from Dana maggiore
Dan has to pay for mine 🖕😜🤣🤣
@@bentoombs Ben I'm not that cruel like you mush
@@bentoombs you can pay for my stickers then Ben
Sorry I must have missed it, but were your drifts made out of your normal 4140 or h13? I know you like h13. Carry on!!😜🤘
mild steel i said in the text boxes. your hard work lol
@@danielmoss2089 You have to earn my love 😘
Red Two is definitely tough as steel, not soft like wood.
I know it's probably blasphemy, but an end mill would have made quick work of the slot in the Hardy stem.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
first?
