  • An assortment of detail oriented chisels will be very handy when doing decorative chisel work. I use these mostly under the treadle hammer, but they may be used at the anvil as well.

    I Watched this one last evening....
    I bet you didn't hear that before - I love to do my aerobic training while watching your videos.
    They are so much fun and fascinating - I just don't notice the time go by... and they are of perfect length (Even short ones - as I skip back to re-watch interesting parts) which is perfect for a warm up before lifting weights... :)
    Definitely an great inspiration - which reminds me I need to make more tongs and chisels... :)

    I feel like your production quality has reached a level where you are entitled to have a cool intro with some good music. Think Woodwright's Shop. Maybe that's just superfluous and we've all got plenty of important things to do though, so I certainly can't fault you if you never do. But your videos are really very good on every level and you are tremendous value to the community. Thanks!

    @LunchboxNinja 2 роки тому

    I love your fancy new apron! By the way, thank you for this episode. I've been looking for a good tutorial on making my own chisel sets for what I do, and the advice in this episode definitely stopped me from making some mistakes (such as normalizing)

    • @BlackBearForge
      @BlackBearForge  2 роки тому +1

      The apron is one I got from Forge Aprons several years ago. There should be a link in the video description. As far as not normalizing goes, that is only because I am using air hardening steel. If using oil or water hardening varieties, normalizing is still a good idea.

    • @LunchboxNinja
      @LunchboxNinja 2 роки тому

      @@BlackBearForge understood! Thanks again for clarifying. Also another question: I saw some comments on another thread saying that O1 tool steel shouldn't use oil, but water or air, mostly because it's much more forgiving, but ends up stronger with the water and air hardening. Could you provide some insight?

    • @BlackBearForge
      @BlackBearForge  2 роки тому +1

      @@LunchboxNinja I haven't heard those statements. But consider that water and air are at opposite ends of the quenching options. Air is a very slow quench that may have little effect on O1 and water is a very harsh quench that could cause failure in O1. The recommended practices certainly don't suggest anything other than oil. If you want to experiment to compare results it would certainly be possible to test the theory

  • @analogplanet9675
    @analogplanet9675 2 роки тому

    My understanding of normalization is that it's merely allowing the grain structure to become roughly uniform over the important areas of the workpiece. Stresses may be built up from work hardening or differential cooling/heating during the forging process which could cause issues like warps or cracks when you move to heat treatment.
    So for air hardening steels, "normalizing" could be as simple as leaving it in the forge at working temperature for a few minutes before the "quench".
    The fact that you can forge this steel without breaking it, proves that the time it takes to "blow off it's steam" up at tempurture, is faster than, or at least roughly equal to, the rate at which it accumulates stresses during forging, at your rate of deformation per heat cycle, and temperature. Therefore, taking a few "heats" without forging is likely to suffice.
    You'd probably want to take a normalization cycle in between really profound and/or rapid deformations of a bar (such as a 4:1 reduction in width, in a single heat, under a power hammer).
    I guess I think of "normalizing" as prep for heat treat or profound forging, mainly, and "annealing" as a means to end up with maximally soft steel, with zero accumulated stresses, at room temperature.
    Just my two cents, the rigorous scientific definitions are likely to differ, and I don't care what words people use as long as they work to communicate the important idea.

    @erikcourtney1834 2 роки тому

    I wonder how hard it actually gets letting it cool in still air. Since it can be hardened in oil also, wouldn’t air hardening mean to “quench it” with compressed air? It seems to be sufficient enough since that’s the method you use on all your s7 tools and they seem to hold up fine.

    I just inherited a William Forester coach maker anvil, guessing about 90 lbs, what was the little extra tab sticking out of the side originally used for? Also inherited a round pan forge with a champion hand crank blower, it was frozen up, but, was easily and gently played with and pried on and working great now, took maybe an hour.

    • @BlackBearForge
      @BlackBearForge  2 роки тому
