Rivet headers hardening and tempering
Вставка

- The time has come to harden and temper the rivet heading tools we made earlier. Both tools will be hardened in oil then tempered in a small toaster oven. Then we will try them out by riveting a pair of tongs together.

Good Evening , John
A needed project for ME ! Taking more notes and quick drawing ! Journal still Growing !
QUESTION ; I have gotten ahold of some 01 drill rod , NEW , What is the best quench process ?
I would greatly appreciate the
Information ! Thank You !
Take Care and Be Safe !
Keep Hammering
What hardening oil are you using,?
I"m afraid I don't have a name. Any oil intended for quenching is sufficient
@@BlackBearForge thank you
What type of pipe is your coal forge vent made from?
From the ceiling up it is a 2300 degree wood stove chimney. The short section between forge hood and the ceiling support is just ventilation duct.
Black Bear Forge okay,thanks for the info!
I am so glad I am not the only one with burn holes in my shirts 😜 Really enjoyed this series. Have perfect stock for this. You sir are a master 👍🏼
Very nicely done sir appreciate the videos for sure
John, not that it matters any, but liked the other cameras lighting better. (it had a yellowish glow). it gave the shop a warm “santa’s workshop” type feel. just an opinion as i’m a diehard subscriber due to content first and foremost!! thanks as always!!
I like the more yellow light as well, but I know not everyone does.
I am in agreement
Thank you. Neat to know about the toaster oven as well.
Blessed days sirSir, Crawford out
I love your tool making videos ! I make as I need like every other Smith it’s crazy the amount of tools I have made over the years lol tools and tongs I’m always making something for someone and then decide you know if I had a pair of tongs that held this at a perfect 45 degree angle I could make a more uniform set of wall mounted candle holders lol so there’s another set of tongs ... I bet I’m close to 40 sets of tongs and a ton 2000# of tools lol !
His video are just the best
His form in creating is unique and apealing with out a doubt
Daniel Crawford I completely agree!
Well young man, you do all right.
Thanks John! I always enjoy your videos.
Alway love the many ways to skin cats but using many levels of tooling knowing we don't all has all the resources.
Thank You Sir
Fantastic series John, once again very educational and helpful. there isn't a day where i don't learn something from your channel.
Another tool I need to make. In several sizes.
Man I love watching your videos! Great content
Great video John!!! Moore great instruction, as always.
Thanks for the video...
she will come take your new power hammer you mess up her oven hahahaha
Came to see the hardening and tempering....stayed for the bonus tong video)) Wonderful work as always!
Good John, love seeing things like this tools, tongs, etc all for the black smith.
I love your demos. The best because they are concise to the point you’re not talking to hear yourself talk, and I learn so much thank you Lord knows there’s so many bad videos out there thank you thank you thank you!!!
Great to see them all finished up bud.
Jihaa.. coal fire. I just love the use of the tradional coal forge.
Is there a rule of thumb of how long the rivet (or round stock actually) should be?
Thanks!
Standard rule of thumb for rivet heading is to use 1 1/2 times the diameter of the rivet for the head.
Would it work to align the internal structure of hot metal, to subject it to a strong magnet for a period of time?
I think that may be above my understanding. Probably something to consult a metallurgist about.
Great video John. I now have a die grinder, would you conciser a video sometime on what to use in them and where to purchase ends for them?
I will try to do that
Thank You!!
Have you ever watched eagle coach works? This guy fixes wagon wheels. Fun to watch.
Excellent, great video! Really want to make a set of these! Thanks for sharing!
Ha! like an idiot i 4 some reason tryed 2 blow the smoke away so i could c ur quenching. Lol
The bottom tool is slanted to one side. may need to straighten to avoid off kilter rivets in the future.
What type of oil do you use to quench?
I buy commercial quenching oil.
Thank you. Do you have a handy link to look up rivet head sizes if you are making a rivet heading set for a specific round stock (stock I always use for rivets) you have?
www.mcmaster.com/rivets
great video once again. I may have missed it but what oil do you use?
Signy Rose Steel.
I use a commercial heat treating oil.
do you use new oil or old oil & what kind of oil and what veascoede or does it matter does
I but new quenching oil sold for quenching steel.
Nice
You mention needing to add some more oil; would you use fresh unused motor oil, or used motor oil?
never motor oil, it is full of stuff that isn't good for the steel. I use commercial quenching oil formulated for heat treating. I will recycle the current oil and stat with all fresh
Hello John, may I ask what you might think is a silly question. What's the differance between using a forge with a Tue as apposed to a Firepot ?
Even a fire pot uses a tuyere. it is simply the pipe through which the air passes on its way to the fire pot. In a side blast forge the tuyere comes in from the side and there is no cast iron pot. There are advantages to both and people who will argue loud and long about which is best.
Thanks for taking the time to reply John I understand now and just ordered my forge
Would a rivet chucked in a drill with some carborundum powder/oil paste polish out the header? I have had some 400 and 800 grit powder kicking around for 30+ years, no idea if available and if so, where.
Great idea Jan-Reinier, others wanting to try this could use automotive valve grinding paste, I'm pretty sure that stuff is readily available. I just love John's videos.
The rivet being soft iron would grind away long before the depression in the tool steel would be polished. But with enough rivets I am sure it could be done.
Agree, Uncle John. Just to even out the last roughness (or even just highlight high spots) by rocking the anointed rivet head, the softness of the rivet preventing stuffing up your work piece. That is what would happen to me when impatient me uses too much tool. Keep your snippets coming, they are packed with info/experience.
