Volutes, Sinuses, Collars and other Fun
Переглядів 1643 роки тому
A "how-to" movie, how to forge a gate from a design the customer brought in, probably early 20th century French, and how to have some fun in the shop. The bars are bent in the shape of sinus curves, held together by collars, and surrounded by a lattice of volutes (scrolls) - there you have it!

El problema, como fabricarlo..?🤔 Saludos desde Venezuela 🇻🇪
These videos are treasures for people who own these hammers. I am one of them and I really want to thank Tom RIP and Helmut for documenting the process, maintenance and use for not just power hammers but forging in general. These instructions are priceless.
Thats not a machine. That's a 'contraption'.
Nice job. well done ..
Bravo.
El fue un artesano dedicad su trabajo y a enseñar l arte a muchos que pasaron por su taller y soy uno de ellos que con su caracter fuerte enseñaba para que sean maestrosdentro del arte gracias hermano
جميل جداً
BEAUTIFUL WORK!!! Classical elegance, but also Reminding of graceful, living things-- Vines, birds' tail feathers, sea shells, Mollusks, clam shells. Keep enjoying your creation, And your Back-Flips!!!
That is a gorgeous anvil. The gate is beautiful aswell.
Fantastic art and skilled precision work.
Very beautiful work.! Thank you for sharing this with us. I try to mimic the middle ages techniques. But it is very hard as a one-man crew, And try not to use modern equipment as much as possible. However it is challenging. Can't spend much time that we don't seem to have these days. It is nice to see a Craftsman such as yourself producing such nice work. Keep it up enjoy it stay well and have a beautiful day. Jim
Very nice work. Sorry those examiners so to speak, said the rose was too old-fashioned. The modern way of blacksmithing can be quite unskilled uninventive etc. Very good job, it is funny, I have made numerous roses of various types through the years, the one piece is the ultimate. It is also a sign of true craftsmanship and skill. Keep up the great work have a beautiful day. Jim
nice stairs , but what a view .
beautiful!
I meet Tom 25 years ago when I was about 12 yearsold. He deliverd wood to my neighbor in Foley Missouri. I was riding a old antique bicycle and he jumped on it sitting on the handle bars backwards peddling it backwards doing circles in our gravel road. I never forget that. I just remembered his last name and thought he was a interesting person and I bet he is on UA-cam. And here he is.
Sir compressor piston & Ram moving longth same ?
El proceso es muy interesante y la escalera le quedo hermosa, felicitaciones. Saludos desde Colombia
So glad to have met Tom in person. He seems the same in the video. Stuff happens in real time.
We just bought a use Say Mak at work. Watching all this before we try it out 👍🏼
He was the best blacksmith from a teaching prospective. He gave the best advice ever, to make nails. 👍🏼
Great idea and pretty simple. Iron moves n mysterious ways.
Did You build the press yr selves?
Bellissimo!
The hammer Phil mentioned with the belt modification is in my shop now. I bought it after Tom had passed back in 2009. Story I had heard was that Tom went to the factory and proposed they make these early changes and they said No. He came home, gathered up financing and returned and bought 51% of the company and told them "Now make those changes!" (this is the short version) Sounds just like something he would say! Glad I found this vid as I had never heard when that modification was made!! Sure miss Tom and Phil....
Look cool 👍👍
very nice
amazing, simply amazing.
Helmut is a master and his art is inspiring to me.
Mr. Hillenkamp, your work is always inspirational; thank you for sharing.
greetings from Costa Rica. great execution, clean design. what you use for the finish?. wax?
Yes, it is linseed oil and bees wax with some paint thinner and dryer.
very inspiring top quality works. The lock on the wonderful gate was fabulous. Bravo sir
Wow that sculptor is something out of this world . You all got amazing talent and skills.Highly impressed
very nicely done! two things i could think of that might improve your workflow: after you do the initial material partition you can see very well how working around your stock in the same direction causes the bar to twist.... i would, if i may, suggest working from two sides back and fort, basically forming a square, than an octagonal section and so on until the rounding die does the rest..... the second issue is one of safety: loose the glove! i know it seems counter intuitive but using a glove here increases your chance of burns significantly! basically what happens is this: the glove delays the heat transfer as well as insulating a bit, eventually however you will touch something where the insulation is not enough and the glove will, wit a delay, pass the heat to your hands witch means you now have a redhot piece of iron in your gloved hand that is basically to hot to handle while the inside of your gloves are getting hotter very quickly, thus you try to get the heck out of the damned things witch seems to take forever when your hands become toasted while you attempt it.... ass an additional bonus you may or may not find yourself somewhere in the workshop where you cannot simply drop the redhot, unhandleable piece you where working on, witch in itself causes a rats tale of problems..... i hope i did not bother you to much or overstep any boundaries or the likes.... yours Ulrich from Austria
Hello Ulrich, thanks for your comments. I agree with everything you said. We were just playing around that day and certainly could improve our efficiency working with these dies. Maybe I need to do better and take a new video soon.
Inspiring design and execution, beautiful as always Helmut and crew...
So many details to look at iron work, floor tiles, wood work and etc. You can’t just let the video run you have to pause and rewind and slowly take it all in. Great video. Thank you.
Thank you for your compliments!
Nice job!!! A perfect fusion between craft and industrial work :)
This is not bending by hand, Stupid.
Nice job! Incredible!
Where can I get a hat like that?
RIP Tom. So cool of him to make these video's before he passed.
I was luck to get an Ozark pattern anvil back in 2003. Best teacher ever.
Outstanding work. Thank you for sharing

Phill was a truly a fountain of knowledge may he rest in peace
Say-Maks are amazing and reliable. I have nothing but great things to say about the customer service.
How to fine chain?
Gracias mil gracias, ya hemos copiado uno y tengo un little giant
Amazing such skills and knowledge is still around. Glad the craft is being passed on to the next generation as well.
Yes, they are really good. Hopefully they can sell a lot of their work and keep it going!
What country are they located in?
They are in Ecuador, in the city of Cuenca in the Andes. We took this video quite a few years ago. As far as I know their shop is still doing this type of work on special order.
Thats aswome... Do you guys have a forum or website where you discuss this craft?
Sorry, the only things we have are these videos. I also carry some of their padlocks for sale.
Phil!!! It's Abi Tom's Grandaughter. Hope you and Margie are well. Give her my love.
Hi Kent. This is Abi Tom's granddaughter.
How did you determine the twist?
We twisted it in the side section of the press first, guessing the amount but keeping it in even increments. Then we laid it diagonally on the center of the bed, at the angle the stairs were going up, in order to add the curve. If it laid flat, without rocking, we were good. The exactness of the twist is not very critical because of the flexibility of the stringer material in that direction. It all gets locked in through the welding.
Hi irontolivewith, im doing heilical stair with 2 landing without any support the design is based on 3 nos. Of RHS 300×100×800 do you have any advice
