Forging a Ram's Head
Big News! I'm moving into a new building!
I thought I would do one last video in the old farm forge before I leave and I couldn't think of a better way to end this part of my blacksmithing life other than forging a ram's head. At the end of the video I also compared the head to a few that are three years old and were made when I first moved into this building.
I'm now starting a new business, Carter and Duck Blacksmiths, with Bill Carter and I am currently moving into our new building. I will still make some UA-cam videos when I get the time and I'll have to get Bill in front of the camera too!

Copper plating with a forge?!
Переглядів 1,6 тис.3 роки тому
In today's video I revisit this method I use to copper plate steel by meting copper onto the steel using the forge. I'm still fascinated and amazed that this works so well and I love the contrast you can create between the copper and scale. I hope you enjoy the video and maybe learn something about this method!

    5:20 Well, I made set of arrows for my gf with socket arrowheads, they were glued onto shaft with epoxy, and after just 1 hit into brick wall - the arrowheads flew off, never to be seen again I didn't try the tanged ones yet, but I think if you put a ring of metal or even wind up some string tightly near the end of the shaft where the head is, nothing should happen to the arrow and most importantly - the head would stay on the shaft, even if you hit a brick or a rock

    Ive just realised, as you were doing the fit up on the bar, that your box jaw tongs look a lot like a pythons head and I mean a lot ...the slight overlength of the flat side make the snake look even more obvious. Nice tongs thanks for sharing.
