Nice work, great attention to detail. My metalwork teacher at school insisted we never lift the file off the work on the backstroke. He said the continuous 'bump' of it connecting with the work so often would damage the file. He recommended , like you to just take the pressure off the file on the backstroke.
I enjoy the different aspects used in the production of your work using power and hand tools. It allows both beginners and advance viewers to see and grasp the choices available to them.
John you are a hing making machine they came out perfect. You always make it look soo easy but I’m glad you showed us this I’m looking to make a clasp for a tool box my wife’s grandfather made her years ago and it need a new locking clasp. Thx again bud 🔥⚒🔥⚒👍🤝👊🏻
I file finished a part then hit it on a buffing wheel when i showed my the difference in feel she said the smooth one feels like butter It does make a difference when someone is handling the part
Very nice work! I love the punched vs drilled appearance too! Thanks for sharing these wonderful projects. Once I complete my forge I plan on training on some basic projects.
Thanks for showing some footage on the ban saw John, i sometimes worry that people think they are some how breaking some blacksmithing rule by using power tools, it's always nice to practice traditional techniques but any short cut is Just common sense as far as im concearned
Great vid John. Loving this series. I’ve been wanting to make a set of “chest furniture”(?) for my brother who restores old travel trunks. Have you ever made the corner pieces? It would be a nice addition to the series👍😁
If you want to extend the life of your files you can refurbish old files by dipping them in dilute muriatic acid. It etches the cuts in the file back out.
@@BlackBearForge Thank you . I’m 55 I’m addicted to your channel and am in the process of building my own workshop so I can have a gas fired forge and anvil . I already have welders , leg vice various other vices but need to finish the workshop first. Love your videos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
For borax, I just buy laundry borax from the grocery store. Currently my prered prepared flux is the Iron Mountain flux. But Easy Weld is good as well.
Do you have a sun in the corner of your shop because you have an abnormally brought workshop for a blacksmith all of those video lighting is really paying off I think you even have a bit of a tan happening
One section of wall was removed to install the power hammer. It is temporarily covered by a yellow welding curtain. Hopefully in the spring he can rebuild the wall.
This anvil may be a bit rough, but it will out last me unless I just want to try something new. Which could happen, I do like some of the double horns with a side shelf
John on the last clip you showed is the counter sink on the wrong side or is installed on the other side ? I love the look of the old time parts even the production work was done by a craftsman . Be well and be safe............
This style of hasp mounts with the strap on the inside of the lid, so in effect the face side with the counter sinks are on the back when compared with the hasp portion.
I am getting such an education with these videos, from tools to techniques. Brilliant stuff.
Very nice service. This is my practical work in school 1984.I also very proud from your present in my Heart. Thank you.
Needed. Something for my barn door than I remembered this video. Thanks for all your lessons.you have the best programs tv.or internet by far.
Love the invitation for own creations
Thanks John!

Thank you for making all these videos! I’m learning a lot from you
I will have to go watch those video about the hinges.
Im from Holland and i have never heard of a "Dutch"tool chest.
I am sure it is only called that because there was a Dutch example found at some point
I like how you're not afraid to use hand tools to get the job done, fantastic video again.
Now realizing how important it is to properly be able to use files. Thank You!!

Yet one more relaxing visit with John. Thanks bud.
Still loving this chest hardware series. Thanks
One Very Nice Hook & Hasp Great work John
Love watching you create.!!!!
great craftsmanship in such a simple hasp great video thanks for sharing
Beautiful workmanship John! 🐾🔥⚒
Lot of information, lot of tips that's one of the many thing I love about your videos. Thanks.
The sets look great! I love the way you carry the look throughout the entire set. True artistry. Thanks for the video!
Giving me some ideas to build a cedar chest to put blankets in.
Great job. This series of videos was great. Thanks for sharing.
Btw, your metric conversion is seamless👍😁
Nice job!
Here is an idea, a punch with a counter sink. Makes a nice quick video idea and would save some drilling and milling.
Just a thought.
That would be a "bob" I will try to remember to make one for a video
Always a great teacher ...Thanking you again

Now I'm itching to make an iron bound chest

Hi, how do you do without the guillotine tool ?
Thanks for the videos, it's very learnful.
You can use a spring fuller or if you have very good hammer control, you can work at the edge of the anvil
John: "my vises are pretty much worn, smooth"
Be a great time for a video on restoring the crosshatches on the jaws.🤔😁
Do you make the signature punches yourself? And the bear paw??
No, I have them made from henryaevers.com/

When forge welding is there a brand of flux/borax you prefer

Tool chest hinges
Instead of a special hinge eye rolling tool, put an old chisel in the vice
Hands up.....who Googled a Dutch Tool Chest...just to see how the hinge works..?......I know I did......lol

Its mostly light from the back wall that was removed for the power hammer installation. There will be a door in there this summer

Still no new anvil lol

Hmmm, weird lighting changes in minute one. I thought it might be a brain tumor.

@@BlackBearForge I am so sorry you said inside outside and I missed it o well I'm old and slow Lol thank you again.
Be well and be safe
