- Forge Press Dies For Making Drawknives
In this one we are making forge press dies to make drawknives a faster and more streamlined process. Of course the first run is always rough and leaves a lot of grinding but I think the concept will work just fine. Other than that it was just another glorious night in the blacksmith shop enjoying the heat of the forge and the high pitched whine of the forge press. It really doesn't get any better than that.

Looks like it will work well for you. Have you considered making slips for timber framing.💚💜⚒🛠👷🏻♂️
Ow do!
The strings were twingin' an' a wangin' and it still looked good!
I was under the impression that having a square cross section improved the handle adhesion. ........ maybe a touch of weld and a pass or two of a grinder would improve things?
I like the concept of one die to do it all though! ..... Very Tolkienesque!
10,000 hrs to make a master .... but you don't need to be a master, just capable! And I think you are getting that under your belt nicely!
Would a "C" shaped depth gauge that you could just drop on and off the bottom die be an idea?
It’s all a learning curve Jim, enjoy watching you find out what works what does not and amending the process! All the best Graham 👍
Just happy to be along for the ride with you mate looking forward to being able to purchase a handmade tool from Jim the toolmaker 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Everything is a learning experience and process. Adjust, try again, go on. When you have the will and desire, you can do anything!
The new tools look good Jim, can't wait to see the finished drawknife. I wish I had your patience when it comes to making whatever tools you need for making the work easier, but I don't. Have a great week. Dan.
The anvil repair looks like it’s holding nicely, love the videos. Keep up the good work
Great job Jim! Enjoyed the video keep them coming! Have a good one my friend.
nice job Jim hoping to buy one of these drawknives one day have to make it an auction
laughing is not how your draw a knife laughing with pencil and paper
You might try "back-bending" your stock before using the profile die, it might save you some time having to straighten the blade. You put the opposite bend into the bar, then bend that happens with the forging of the taper/profile will bring it back to straight.
I will try it out, thanks for the tip.
Be kinda nice if you could get a big puff of air to blow the slag off the die occasionally. Not too much to cool the steel but enough to clear the slag. Don't know how you'd rig that one. You'd need another foot to punch a valve or something. Nothing long winded just a quick hard puff of air. Wouldn't want it to blow it across the room but clear the die.
That is a fantastic idea Clyde. Wouldn't be too hard to do I don't think.
Prof you are doing great for a learner , don't beat yourself up
I don't have a forge and I'm not sure if it is something I want to get into at this stage but I do enjoy watching the process...especially the trial and error stuff just to see how things can be improved.
It looks like you're catching up. Good morning buddy.
It's great to see u on the forge build u created
Great. Interested in a debarking drawknife when they're available. Have lots of logs to debark for our timber frame projects.
I'm actually working on a run right now. I'll let you know when they're finished.
@@TheTradesmanChannel Copy that.
👌👌👍👍
Looks good bud!!!
👍
Awesome
When you go to the section of your die that forms the profile for the blade, try pulling it through the die rather than pushing.

Thank you sir. I will try it, I'm pretty new if you can't tell.
