Making a Blacksmithing Guillotine Tool

- Опубликовано: 19 мар 2020
- A guillotine is a blacksmithing tool for pinching, mashing and whacking steel in controlled ways. In this video, blade smith Walter Sorrells demonstrates the making of a guillotine tool sized for knife makers. The tool is particularly useful for forging shoulders of the ricasso where it meets the tang of knives but the dies are replaceable and it can also be used to do a lot of other things, including forging fullers.

Writting my congressman at the moment suggesting that every home in America be outfitted with a Bridgeport Miller.
Heck Yeah! Thanks for this video. I'm probably going to need to make one of these now...
I built one pretty much exactly like this a couple years ago. Eventually I had to add a small strap connecting the top of the two vertical pieces, as over time they started spreading away from one another. Still works great though, would never be without one again!
I always watch your videos and want to thank you for taking the time to teach others. Always great info and who knew that labelling things made it easier.....my common issue. Thanks again
I love the simple design.
Wow! This opens up endless ideas! Great video thank you!
I've been wanting to make a tool like this, thank you Mr. Sorrells.
Good job! We posted this video on our homemade tools forum yesterday, credited to you of course :)
Love my guillotine tool and couldn't imagine working without one. It's no substitute for learning good hammer control, but it sure does keep set downs clean. Fullering dies, flat dies and butchering dies are must-haves that will do damn near anything you want. I'd like to make a set of tenoning dies just for good measure.
I made on in the c shape, I like your design also. Thanks for video

This is going to help a lot.
Never thought of that, thanks!
Damn. Another bloody blacksmith channel I have to subscribe to!! ;)
Nice
I truly love what you say. Would love to hang out. Been shoeing horses over 30 years. Been doing doing doing dentistry about 20.
Very cool Walter; could this be adapted to punch small holes in thinner material?
One suggestion, if you bevel the tang on all 4 sides 45°by about 3/8 to 1/4 inch for a 1 inch tang. Then weld the tang to the plate you will have more weld holding the tang to the plate and it will be easier to clean up the the welder and no pocket.
I have a feeling I'll be seeing those welds again on Instagram. :D
I've saw you on television in forge in fire
