    hah! you've made an adjustable version of a jewelry rolling mill!
    whenever I have the time and desire to save a little money, I'll roll out my own silver wire from scrap (it's always worth it in gold though) I'll start with a roughly 55mm long by 5mm wide round plug of silver, roll it down, then pull it through draw plates to about .7mm wire, If I'm careful and don't break it, I can easily have over 80 feet of wire!
    Silver & gold are also soft enough you can just grab it with a pair of pliers and pull/walk away with it, no winch required, if I'm dumb enough I could pull a single piece of wire all the way from one side of my shop, to the other and out into the parking lot and maybe even the busy street!

    Using a thick walled heated iron tube 10" to 18" long, preheat your wire to approximately to 500 degrees F. just prior to entering your pulling die.

  • @sumduma55

    As for making the rollers from tool steel.... they make tool steel tig and stick welding rods. A bit expensive but running a surface layer build-up around the rollers would have to be cheaper than buying tool steel that thick. Just a thought in case you decided to revisit this idea or do something else entirely.
    Anyways, enjoyed the video. Thanks.

    Hey, if you want to straighten your wire really straight, a trick I learned from making my own rings for chain maille is to chuck one end of the wire in a drill and the other in a vice. Pull it taught and spin the drill. It will pull ALL the bends out.

      @Max_Chooch 3 роки тому +1

      @@xMrjamjam did you even watch the vid? Did you not notice that in the video, he pulls the wire through an annealing furnace on the floor? He does this because just rolling the wire work hardens it. So he's already annealing it anyway... 🤔 the real benefit here would be for him to do this before he spools it up in the welder so there aren't any kinks in the wire to jam up in the machine. Seeing how he has little wire to work with, it would be in his best interest to do what he can to prevent that.

      It was forged way too small. Keep the forging to a minimum. Cold-work the steel to refine the grain structure. After forging round then use a larger rolling mill. After the rolling mill you begin drawing.

    You could setup an induction heater just before the rollers so that it heats up the wire red hot just before rolling. Or even do this for annealing the wire, just pull it at the right speed through the induction heater and have a hose at the right distance away to cool it back down.

    For pre-made solid (no flux) MIG wire there is usually higher levels of manganese and silicon de-oxidizers so that the welds have smoother beads, with less spatter, and easier clean up.

    I could picture a way to make that cold roller work a little better. Just need to cut off that hand crank. Weld on a ratchet handle. Then make a levered foot pedal. Good sized spring and linkage bar connecting the ratchet handle to the pedal. Spring needs to be positioned and attached where it'll move the ratchet handle back up. Now you've got both hands free to guide the wire, and depending on the geometry of the levers and linkage - possibly more leverage to stomp on the pedal with to drive the roller.
    Not sure if that makes sense, but it's something that seems reasonable enough in terms of being able to make it.

    It works but just. I'm probably not a good enough welder with a good enough welding machine.

Either way, great video. When you said welding with a bolt (I'm old school) I imagined drawing it out into a rod and using it as filler in oxy/actyl gas welding. I've had to resort to welding with a coat hanger as filler in pinch. Thanks for posting.

    I think drawing it through a hole could have potentially worked if you started with a slightly larger hole and carefully worked your way down.

    @HavokTheorem 3 роки тому

    Solid core welding wire doesn't contain any flux, per se, otherwise it would be flux core.
    Standard steel MIG wire will contain some extra manganese and silicon. The manganese reacts with sulfur in the parent metal which would otherwise make it hot short and prone to crater cracks and such, while silicon reacts with oxygen. Both form a slag, but they're alloyed into the welding wire so not a flux per se.

    That was interesting. I know nothing about welding so a couple of questions for you: If you hadn't taken the rust off the bolt, would it have turned to scale when it was in the fire? And, I know you were kidding but is making the wire back into a bolt even a possibility? If so, how would you do it and, if not, why not? 😁

  • @RoosterAndTheHen
    @RoosterAndTheHen 3 роки тому

    I'm not sure if you were shooting for that depth of the cut on your lathe but when properly adjusted, the metal being removed should form a 6 and then break off. That's the best visual way to tell if you are at optimum cutting depth. Also I've adjusted your axe head design for better design. Could you tell me your email address so I can email you the design? It will allow for better chopping/cutting and keep it more even after sharpening. I'd like to do the top and front profile also if I could get some pics. I've had over 20 years on an axe and I believe it will really help your design.
