    It may be simple in design but so is Shaker Furniture. Think about it. Never under estimate the power of simplicity. It is a smart and beautiful thing. I like it. Nice work. (Thumbs up).

    Great! I've been looking at several different designs by several smiths on smaller swages. This is one of em I'm gonna end up doing. Im growing fast and need it yesterday lol! Looks good, and looks customizable. If one gets all the prep done like length and such different sizes could be added all in one tool. Thanks for all the vids. 🍻

    See I'm lazy, I would have sandwiched those two pieces in the vice and pre drilled my holes so I wouldn't have to do so much filing. 😂😂 That's pretty cool how it looked like you put a center drill in the end of it.

    • @gstongs

      I was thinking about stacking the two pieces and drilling but I only use a hand drill and so thought if I skew things to one side it would be exaggerated over the longer drilling distance. Thanks. Glen

    The fact that you're hammering while you're sitting seems to make your hammering less powerful.

      Sharon, I think it's right to say that my hammer blows are less forceful since I'm sitting. But I rarely ever strike with full force, even when I stand. I started sitting once I moved (back) to Taiwan and found my workspace limited. It really suits me. Thanks for watching, Glen

      Mark, I actually thought about a hinge but for me personally, I thought that might not be as easy (though I guess this depends on which style hinge). I also felt a hinge, at least a hinge that I make, might not be as accurate as far as lining up the top and bottom pieces. But you're right, some sort of hinge would be perfectly fine.

      Look at a few other videos of shaping reins on a pair of tongs, or the handle of a long spoon. Any time you want to reduce the work from non-round to a round section, or from round of a greater diameter to one of lesser diameter, this is a very useful tool for getting a consistent shape and size. Also, if you can't easily get steel stock in a size to match your punches and drifts, you can use this tool to make rivets of suitable size size.

    • @gstongs
      @gstongs  6 років тому

      Pieter, I was going to drill with one price on top of the other but I only use a hand drill and thought that if I skew to one side this would be exaggerated over the longer drilling distance. Also, I needed to make this hole square in order to keep the pieces aligned when using. But I guess I could also have drilled both ends... Thanks.

      Ray, That pen I use around the middle of the video is a paint pen / marker - good for marking steel. Most craft supply stores should sell these. I also use talc sticks to mark work but it wears off easily and is much less visible. But the talc sticks can mark work when it's hot whereas you would destroy the paint pen's felt tip if used on hot work. Thanks for watching.
