Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 чер 2022
- We are forging mokume gane from quarters under our air assist treadle hammer. You can find our air assist treadle hammer kit at our website www.blacksmithingblanks.com.
TREADLE HAMMER WITH AIR ASSIST: This treadle hammer kit with air assist is a complete bolt together kit. A welder is not required. The build will require basic hand tools (ie: drill bits, drill, wrenches, etc.) It can be assembled in as little as 45-60 minutes, onto a 2" x 4" stud. All that you will need to provide is a sledgehammer of your choosing in the 6lb to 12lb range. Also bring your anvil to beat upon. And an air compressor to run the air assist with. The kit will come with a link to an instructional how-to-build video plus everything you need to assemble. This is treadle hammer kit with air assist allows you to use either the foot powered treadle or the air assist without having to hook/unhook anything. You can get it at our product page for $700: www.christcenteredironworks.c....

Came to look at the originator video, once again congratulations to you both.
Lol thanks brother for the additional watch time 🙂
Always liked when you did mokume. I think some of those were some of the first videos of yours I watched way back when I subscribed to you. It is always amazing how it turns out.
Thank you Dan! Glad to see you comment again ☺️
@@ChristCenteredIronworks yes, same here! We just finished moving again. It has been very hectic. Not that you know ANYTHING about moving!! ;-)
Good to see you combat monetary inflation!
Beautiful bowl, nice hammer too!
Thank you for the compliment and watching 🙂
I love your creativity
Thank you sir for the compliment ☺️
Really interesting! Thanks for the great video! I'd never heard of this technique before.
Wowers that's definitely unreal and every cool Roy. Forge on. God bless.
Thank you Jared God bless you 🙏
@@ChristCenteredIronworks your welcome.
Looks good! Thanks for the video!
Thank you very much
Looks like a fun project, we need those sometimes. Thank you for what you do. 🤞🙏👏👏👏
No thank you Wayne! I wouldn't be able to do any of It without out the support of the community 👍
Love it
That looks pretty good and that turtle hammer is coming together quite nicely
Thank you Steven !
Nice!!!
That turned out really nice!
Thank you Scott!
That is so cool. Do you sell them?
That was really awesome!
Thank you 😊
Im working on the beam hammer build. Trying to do a da Vinci cam to lift hammer. Need more measuring drilling and welding to get body set up. I will let you know how it goes, might use a spring to add extra force if the cam works.
I hope your build goes well 😊 thanks for watching
Thats cool Roy, quarters are kind of rare here so Ill try it with aussie 20 cent coins! No idea of the alloy but pretty sure they contain copper and silver! Guess Im going to find out!
That would be interesting to see 🙂
Awesome video Roy, using the Mr Volcano forge and your new treadle hammer. Hoping I can rearrange my slop to house your treadle hammer one day. I knew I should have build a bigger shop. Wayne
It would be awesome to get One of these bad boys to you 🙂 let us know when you're ready... God bless you Wayne and thank you for watching
This was a fun project
If you got it hot and quenched it the drilling would have been much easier. For those who don't know metals like copper, silver and gold gen annealed (softened) how you would normally harden steel. I imagine nickel is the same way but not sure
i didn't see flux applied to the stack of quarters(?), that's a real missing link...are the quarters actually old, all-silver? it would make sense to stack the quarters, wrapped in iron wire, to weld them, *then* into the vice?
Very cool!
Thank you 😊
Quarters coffee scoop would be cool
Yeah that would be cool 🙂
Pass the Sake
So what is that for? An elven bowl?
Roy is it okay to handle with tongs while you're in the finishing process? And what is the torch tip your using called. I don't have it. I need to purchase one.
You can hold it with tongs but you don't want it to marr it .. holding in hand is the Best way I have found. The torch tip is called a "1/2" rosebud " can be found at most welding supply shops ☺️
What do you think of steel, brass, and copper? Or am I asking for trouble with low melting temps?
That's a great question and it definitely says a lot about your creative thinking so props to you!
You can forge braze copper or brass to steel (just as you can braze with an acetylene oxygen torch), however 2 things: 1) brass contains zinc which can be fatal in enclosed areas 2) brazing isn't welding...it's like a stronger version of soldering, the filler (copper or bronze) melts far cooler than steel; it's a bonding process for sure, and very strong, but it's not welding. Welding requires both materials to reach the melting point. If you try this with something like copper (like Alec Steele very recently did), you will find the copper melting out.
Again, that was a great question! Keep up the creativity! We're all here to learn something!
Cheers,

Steel And copper Yes . Steel And brass no.... Brass would be a vapor before the steel got hot enough to do anything
How does that treadle hammer work on steel? Mine has a railroad track head and is only good for small top tool striking.
Really well on 5/8" And under so far. Need to test it with some bigger stock here soon ☺️ trust me there will be more videos on it soon
Have you tried that with just sheets of copper, and nickle with the vice?
I have it's basically the same process but takes longer to heat up
That's awesome to hear! I've really been struggling with mokume gane for soooo long. I keep getting oxidation between layers and not solid bonding. This seems like a great way to do this.
the hammer is cool but please zip tie the excess links so they dont jiggle
Cool beans. Thanks Roy🤟
Thank you Ben 😊👍👍
