I must tell you brother. Your swages are nice and clean finished . And jelaous. Or how ever you spell it. I just made one jig for my tong blanks. And now going to make one for the reins I think. Kitty rocks the hole shop to I see.and tell the Ms I said hello from across the pond.
Spencer Pearson she rocks full stop dude. lol. for some reason I can feel the shake when I'm using kitty or even when some one else is. not sure why but that's just how it goes lol. I will say hi and thank you for you kind comment dude.
On my swages I make them oval. The top to bottom = desired od. and the side to side at least as big as the max od. As I hammer I rotate it to the round.
Good morning This is a bit off topic but in this video I noticed there is a maintenance hatch on the side of your power hammer and I was wondering if you could do a video on how it actually works and show us in side please
Could you have done the whole process with the fly press? I have been considering acquiring one (sadly at great expense in the US) and would love to know the limitations. Also, you would do well to build a relationship with some other channels (perhaps a collaboration with Tim at Big Dog Forge) in order to get your name out there more. This channel deserves a lot more subscribers than it has.
Lou L errrrrrr possible but I'm not sure it would have the pressure to do it in one heat. it might work well if a hydraulic press. it's something that would need some testing.
Very good Daniel. I really enjoyed your video. You are very good. It sounds like you and your girlfriend are going to make a very good team. Thanks, Garry
I love your content. You are very talented and have a style like no other. As a viewer who uses ear buds on my phone, I find the music distracting and too loud. I would much rather listen to a man working, then have to adjust my volume. Less is more. I dont want to be critical, but I know subscribers levitate to content more then editing. Keep up the good work.
..belated Happy Birthday to your mum!! She raised a Good yungun! Those Swages are Fan-Dan-Tastic!!! dum question, Does the handle for the swages need to be spring steel or will plain old mild work??...
Your too kind dude as always. I haven't ever had any issues with using mild as in the video but spring some times work hardens and snaps. Also the spring quality's are often dude to the hardening process and can cause issuse. The materiel i have found that works best is 304 stainless steel.
both the the swages where 20mm thick. But it depends on what you making. to blocks of 13 on top of each other would make a sweet swage for up to 12-14mm round i guess. hope that helps.
I love your videos....they are so informative as well as entertaining.
A great Birthday gift Dan feeling very lucky and thank you for the Birthday wishes xx
A mighty fine spatula!!! Your Mom must be very proud!
I hope she likes it and also thank you.

I would love to say that i had something to do with the sink but it was all the massey hehe. epic fluke hehe thank you
for the great comment dude.
Awsome video like the way you made the swages . the drop on the massy makes all the differance job well done
Thank you dude. yeah the drop function makes all the difference. it really helps as there is hardly any bounce at the end of the stroke.
WOW!!! Thanks!!!! Great video. I learned a lot. Your shop is really "Dope." You really have the tools to get the work done.

There is an old video of me talking about the massey but maybe i might do a new one.

Garry Fisher thank you Garry. I hope we do make a good team.
I really enjoyed this vid, can't wait for the blacksmith bible stuff to come up :)
Cool video, you made some great stuff, keep up the good work. Did you see Tim at Big Dog put googly eyes on his power hammer scrappy rebuild!
I did and we might be working on a project together soon so stay tuned. thank you for the great comment.
Great vid. I’ve subscribed partly on the strength of this and partly because anyone who puts googly eyes on a power hammer gets my vote
Thanks Dan, you are an inspiration. What dud you use for the parent stock on the spatula?

Gotta love mom.... Now what type steel was used on making the swage ? Thanks Dan
can you make that in brass and copper to see what it looks like?
so what sort of thickness of stock would you recommend for making swages out of Dan? 13mm do the job?
both the the swages where 20mm thick. But it depends on what you making. to blocks of 13 on top of each other would make a sweet swage for up to 12-14mm round i guess. hope that helps.
Hi
If you collaborate with your lady I would put money on your channel blowing up.
Darby Pereira well I do and I'm sure your right bet we will have to see what happens. thank you for your great comment dude.
