Last video, you made a bowl.
This time, you made a tool that makes bowls.
Neat!
Beautiful work, as always! Gotta love that invigorating feeling you get when that super-heated water splashed back on you!
haha, I'm exhausted. This was a big forging. Glad it worked out.

Wow that's awesome 😮
Love it , alchemy , magic , brute force .. amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🙏🏻
Good work as usual. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Always interesting. I like the way you present your work.
awesome content! also nice to see you happy as a child playing with new "toy"
haha yeah I was excited. I didn't know if this idea would work, until the hammer took over. A Huuge forging for me.
I'm a little concerned about all those lighters next to the forge... back in high school one of the guys had a Bic in his hip pocket in welding class and it caught a couple sparks... my ears were ringing for two days and they had to dig bits of leg bone out of a cinder block wall.
This was great. Thank you for sharing.
Impressive!
Exellent !!!
Muy buen trabajo, saludos 👍
Interesting as always! Just keep your hands out of the hammer please. Everything can malfunction
John, was that Kasenit you put in the tool to case harden the surface?
Interesting how you used the tool to open the tool up more and then finished with the top tool. Im assuming you did this because the hammer or press didnt have the power you needed to drive the tool as deep as you wanted.
If im wrong please let me know.
Always enjoy watching you work.
Thanks for taking the time and effort to make the video.
Right, kasenit is an older version of this stuff(cherry red) just without the arsenic? still wear a mask when using. I figure it will hold up better under the press. So this project was a gamble. The press bogs down at 1/2" depth, But.. if I can isolate the contact point in an arc, it might work. So that's what I tried. I set the height blocks to keep it forging at a set depth maybe 3/8" from bottoming out. The sphere was able to clean up the rest. This concept will really open up larger forging/compressions in the future.
@@rigoniironworks thanks for the reply John. Always wanted to build a press. Worked on a them a couple times.
Having both press and hammer in your shop opens up many possibilities.
Having the stops on both sides of the press is great to reduce any side loading.
I'm sure the Cherry Red will help with wear if you use the tool alot.
Did you have any problems getting laps/shuts when using the fuller to open the impression? I saw that you kept the depth pretty even when pushing the tool in.
You always do such clean work.
All the best.
I went pretty deep causing the channels you saw. hindsight, I could have raised the height blocks and done maybe 3 passes, down to depth. This bowl looks pretty decent, I'll use it in a couple days/see if any fold overs show up.
@@rigoniironworkslove your stuff, just wondering wouldn’t the belt sanding after case hardening remove the thin carbon layer you created? I guess you only really need in the actual bowl but still curious.
Is the hydraulic press new? I try to keep up with your work.
Yep! Brand new. I'm excited to have two forging machines I can run at the same time.
Is the fuller the same size as the bearing
yes, just be careful to slowly work it down, or the sides will fold, causing a cold shut.
You know if you cut the bottom from an oxygen bottle or co2 etc you have an instant bowl form right ? :-)
Yep, but I wanted a deep bowl to mirror the sphere punch I made.
