Giving advice on things to look out for when buying a used blacksmith post vise.
Are you not drilling handle holes before hardening?
lol I realized I should have done that afterwards. Was tough on my bits trying to do it after.
I clicked on the video thinking it was an April fools joke about a hammer for straightening carbide 😂 Keep it up man
Thanks
Is it not better to quench tipside down first? Not a criticism just a question as I'm not sure. Thanks
Doesn’t matter
I hate it when someone says "This is a good welder for beginners". WTF does that even mean? Wouldn't you want a beginner to use one of the best welders you have so they know what a bad weld looks like vs a great weld? I have this welder and I am a "beginner" even though I have welded several projects. I can say this machine sucks for farm implements which is what it should be used for. I have not been able to get a good weld on 1/4" steel with it. The wire feed is just way too slow to produce a nice juicy weld on that material. I wish I would have seen this video befor I bought mine because there are way too many options out there. This welder got great reviews, but I have not seen a UA-cam video with a great weld using it like I have seen with other welders. I guess 'beginners" should just throw away $200-$300 on a cheezy welder and try to learn with a POS instead of saving up for a great tried and true welder like a Miller or Lincoln. Thanks for your video.
I agree
Quick, Simple and to the point
Thanks
Do you heat your oil before quenching? Could you explain please?
Parks 50 is effective from 50 degrees Fahrenheit to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. So no I didn’t need to heat it since the temperature was around 70 degrees. I use an infrared thermometer to test the temperature.
im going to do the class in virginia "2025" its cool that you can do momnthly payments to pay it off that way and cheaper than paying almost 5k for 1.!! 7-8 hr ride though
That’s awesome. I didn’t realize that was an option.

Raymond. Some of your videos have comments disabled because they're set to kid mode. It also makes it so your viewers can't save them to a playlist.
This machine has nothing but good reviews. I am using this same machine at work and it's been flawless. FORNEY makes good stuff.
Thanks for the reply
Pretty much exactly what I’m tryna do, just demoed a interior wall, got 28- 2x4x10s and a bunch of other random cuts for free, pretty good start but I’ve still got a lot more to source
That’s awesome. It’s not easy but it’s worth it in the end. Good luck with your project.
Thanks for the video! I just got one a few weeks ago and really love it but definitely not using it to potential. The tooling you mentioned is going to be a huge help! Thank you!
Happy I was able to help and thanks for the message.
Crotch is a bad ideal for height, it should be lower, as much heavier items need to be put there, and tall isn’t better. Especially if something heavy is going to fall off that anvil… and a sand floor becomes obviously better. If the floor is soft a low height is best. Sit,stand or kneeling. I found kneeling easier. Saving a pile of lifting.
That makes sense. Thanks for the comment.
nice! Thanks!
Welcome!
I’m a new father and recently unemployed due to our sitter flaking out on my wife and I. Looking to make my hobby into a business, however due to living in the city I cannot obtain a business permit using a coal forge due to the fumes and “nuisance regulations”. I’ve been looking into this forge and found your video very informative. Thanks.
I’m happy you found the video helpful. If you have any questions let me know. Thanks
@@PalmForge appreciate the response, how often do you have to refill your propane tanks? One concern I had was the cost of propane versus coal.
I usually run it between 5-10psi. At that flow rate I can get 8hrs with a single barbecue size tank. The secret to saving money on gas is to go to a propane supplier instead of those tank trade in locations you find at gas stations. I can get tanks filled for $15 here in Md usually. In the summer they run specials and I can get it for $10.
In my area you can get a 50lb bag of blacksmith coal for $15 a bag. Once you learn how to run a coal forge you can get 8hrs on a bag pretty easy. So I would say cost is pretty similar. Gas is so much more convent but coal makes you feel like a real smith and there is something peaceful about the flame.
@@PalmForge we have four suppliers here where I’m at, (used to fill propane at a previous employer) I was thinking of picking up two 40 pound tanks or three 20 pound tanks depending on what’s available and affordable. Either way should get me a weekends worth of forging. I appreciate all the information.
I set mine by a hammer in my hand, hold it parallel to the ground with elbo bent at waste, and measure to the face of the hammer. Then subtract an inch. That way my hammer blows are not angled unless i want them to be.
That’s smart. Thanks for the comment.
Great video very informative
Glad you think so!
I appreciate the advice
You are welcome
