    I made candles in the early '90s for the family potpourri business, and I had a disc full of proper measurements and dies and essential fragrances. It takes a lot. Kudos to anyone still doing it the old fashioned family way 👍

    Ash is useful for this bc it doesn't shrink as much as other woods, so the head of the hammer can stay on longer.

      Serious answer to your joke; the rock came first. Bash some metal on a rock with a rock, making a crude hammer head. This becomes your new hammer. Now bash some metal on a rock with your hammer until you have a roughly flat surface. Strap this surface to the top of a log; this is now your anvil. Now you can create a cleaner, less crude hammer, and the tools needed to forge a proper anvil. Congrats, centuries of metal work innovation has been summed up in five sentences.

    The mechanical hammer is just called a power hammer, and the pedal is called a treadle.
    The steel isn't compressed during a punch, most of the material is pushed outwards.
    That was a spring fuller, not a spring swage
    The eye contoring tool is called a drift, and is used to shape and to stretched out the punched hole.

      Brooks Moore is his name, and I don't think he's done any audiobooks. He's basically just been the narrator for this show (with the exception of seasons 9 & 10) since it debuted in 2003, as well as other programs for the Discovery Channel and the other networks related to it

    • @skilletborne
      @skilletborne 8 місяців тому +3

      I've been obsessed with metalworking all my life and have done a fair bit myself - they're definitely leagues above mass produced hammer.
      I do think they're overpriced, but it's also made by a man who cares about his product, who knows his steel, and swings a hammer more times in a day than most people do in a lifetime.
      It's supporting a small business and getting a tool you know will make your job easier for the rest of your career
