Building our own market tent from canvas, white oak, and steel

We could've easily ordered a pop-up tent online, to be conveniently delivered to our door, but no. We put ourselves through the pain and misery of building our own tent from scratch, where the only plastic to be found is the thread in the canvas. See the process from start to finish: forging curled nuts, tapping screws, sawing white oak boards, sewing the canvas, assembly, and its first appearance at our first market selling our ironwork and herbs.

To create the ...

Weight-lifting with line shaft equipment

Переглядів 746 місяців тому

Dreams of a line shaft-driven workshop have been thwarted by our current shop's low ceilings, so the historic pulleys and shafts now serve as the weight-lifting equipment we've always wanted but never had the space for. Just add a few workhorses. What better use of extraordinarily heavy cast iron while it gathers dust awaiting their move to the next workshop?

Follow along here with the months-long process of restoring this 1910-era Dupont (Fairbanks) model C power hammer. This hammer was purchased from a blacksmith closing up shop in Delaware and hauled back to North Carolina on a 16-foot trailer. Once I got it home, it had to sit on the trailer for a month while I constructed the gantry crane, seen at the start of the video. The crane is made of re...

Here's an extended edit showing more of the extensive restoration of a W.F & J. Barnes 20-inch drill press that was manufactured in 1910, from a time when form and function were equally important. Unlike many camelback drills from the time period, this one features back gears internal to the upper cone pulley and a worm gear auto-feed. Currently, the drill press is powered from a floor-mounted ...

Here's an extended edit showing more of the extensive restoration of a 27-inch, 980lb, ~1910, American Sawmill Company bandsaw. It had been sitting unused in a nearby blacksmith shop since 1981 and required brazing repairs to the upper wheel sleeve bearing, as well as new guards. We use it to process small lumber, make handle blanks, and cut curves. The bandsaw is currently powered by a two hor...

Antique forge blower restoration

Переглядів 88411 місяців тому

This is a pre-1900 forge blower, likely manufactured somewhere between 1870 and 1890. It predates the more modern geared hand crank blowers. The restoration began straightforwardly but became more interesting once I realized that all of the shafts needed to be remade on the metal lathe due to their excessive wear. I don't have a great location to permanently install it in this workshop, but I p...

Our first festival

Переглядів 12311 місяців тому

Back in June, we sold ironwork and herbs together at our first festival at Rassawek Vineyards up in Virginia. Bradley demonstrated making a fireplace crane with friends and fellow smiths Roger and Wesley. We learned a ton about what people do and do not want to buy at festivals and look forward to refining our approach for the next one.

Antique metal lathe restoration

Переглядів 3,7 тис.11 місяців тому

The workshop is now home to a new (old) metal lathe. This model of lathe is a 9-inch South Bend from 1926. It sat unused for many years and needed a complete overhaul to be operational again. Luckily no components were broken or badly worn so the restoration was a straightforward one. It even came with the original countershaft. Since we are progressing towards building a line shaft-powered sho...
