Forging a mini turning hammer for Pete Smith
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- In this video, I forge a miniature hammer for a former tutor, Pete Smith. Pete is an amazing chap whose nickname is "the wizard" and for very good reason. Pete, alongside Chris, Adrian and Dave, is one of the people without whom I would not be where I am today. Have a look at his website: www.wherethelightgetsin.co.uk
I apologise for the delay with the next series, I have had some techical difficulties and it will start next Saturday!
That is an *AWESOME* retirement gift. It looks as he has everything needed to forge 10d nails into broadswords for pixies (Except for the forge itself!). A collection of tools like that shows a man that is profoundly loved and respected. It also indicates a man that would have a sense of humor.
That's my little anvil I made for Pete! Thanks for the great videos!
Said the winner of "the lying bastard" award
Louis Sturt who's a clever boy
Kamil Miziński And the 'we all know it was you award'
I think this was fun.
I was at the blacksmithing school last year until I took an injury, and by god is Pete a good guy. it's a shame he's finishing there.
The bike horn is a nice touch
Thoroughly deserved present for Pete. Mans a bloody wizard!
Now this.... I WILL DEFINITELY MAKE THIS
GREAT HAMMER!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!
Using a shopping trolley to haul his tools around, now that is the mind of a genious right there! Amazing video as always!
😊
GREAT GREAT JOB GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!
cool forge and hammer
Looks great!
Nice touch brother, if thats what you made your mentor when he retired, imagine what we're gonna make for you when that regrettable day arrives...thanks for all the vids and information
Nice video and Pete's a lucky guy. Thanks for sharing.
I really enjoyed watching this series, what great skills you have, you make it all look so easy!
Nice, I use a ball peen a bit smaller than that quite a lot in knife making, if it was my hammer it'd get used for sure. May have to make one like that for myself.
Awesome work, love the channel!
Mjolnir, hammer of -Thor- Pete!
4:20 "I will then spread the cheeks...LOL" Well played Sir. :-)
Some of us carve with an axe... your work is natural, not contrived.... 😎
sweet hammer!
When he was putting the wedge in he said something about, "Like a proper hammer." I say that _IS_ a proper hammer, just delicate.
I wish I could have had Pete as a tutor. I practically made him jump out of his chair during my interview at HLC. I told him that I still had a lot to learn and I thought he was going to hit the ceiling.
nice
Spread those cheeks Rowan :) (4:16)
real nice mate :)
Ze Germans have learnt ze precision!
Nice video , do you make working tools for sale. regards.
english superiority ...
What kind of power hammer do you own
Thanks for sharing but I didnt really like this one-for once.
But who am I to say?
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED the cooking chain,though!
Cheers.
why did you wear gloves towards the end of the video? to stop the dirt getting into the handle?
Because shop bought "boiled" linseed oil isn't boiled anymore, but instead has added metal salts as "driers" to help it polymerize faster..
Some of those salts aren't exactly good for your health, and can relatively easily cross the skin barrier, I don't know if it's still the case but, lead salts where commonly used for example...

he was wearing the gloves before he was handling the linseed oil, but that could well be the reason why.
generally, in the UK, we don't have lead in anything if it can be avoided, but yeah, there is definitely added goodies to help it dry faster these days.
That's not a normal sized hammer?
Quality content and forging as always Rowan. (P.S. Im first.)
whats the purpose of the long fingers nails ???
Heelf guitar playing? :)
great work I love your work and skills, I am not wanting to offend you in eny way but pleas cut your nails dude
