When I left school in 1948 my first job was in a blacksmiths shop in England. He used to turn his scrolls without a torsionator, by hand. The torsionator certainly takes a lot of hard work and time out of the job. I'm not a blacksmith but I like your videos and find them fascinating. My grandson is outside as I write this using a set of ordinary fireplace bellows I made him for Christmas a few years ago, to get the heat up for some sort of knife he is making. He has made me promise to make him a forge. Thanks again for the videos Great stuff..

Nice great job as a retired welder of 32 yrs built ski lifts for 25 yrs I have to honestly say I miss it , its nice having good equipment, My very last welding job I Fabricated 1/3 of the steel barrier fence that surrounded ground zero after 911 , great work

Excelente maestro.. MUCHAS GRACIAS POR SU COLABORA CION EN BUSCA DE LA EXELENCIA.🔧

You guys are awesome. So good to see this.

That guy breathes like a dragon! Great work! Congratulations!

Love that Miller welding gloves(ARC ARMOR)!!!

I love how the Torsionator sings a 1-5-8 chord when in use, or at least how that shows up in the video, it's a thing of beauty...

Ain't nothin' like a good old pair of vice grips.

Very good movie. Waiting for more. Even when you're retired.

You working hard.With love and best wishes.

Silly things like this make me want to be a backwoods(-ish) canadian blacksmith. Outside of the bad back, and the inevitable joint loss, it looks like a lot of fun.

I really want to make one of those. It would go great with my everlast welder for making all sorts of products.

Custom, slick and cool.

Love the lathe in the background!!

Freakin Cool Man!!!! Thanks so much for sharing:)

judging by how popular this is he should market this machine lol.

You could use a long handled channel lock to close those vice grips a little easier.. cool video! Nice work 👍

Awesome machine!!! What kind of motor is it using?

@ornametalsmith I've thought about that, and I usually forget to deploy that idea when the time comes!

Nice job...quick work of that bar.

like your work. thx for the demo.

Спасибо за видео, хороший стол. Good!

GOOD IDEA THANKS.

Amazing! Thanks for sharing!

Excelente job. Congratulations. From Santiago Chile

Great design and Fabrication!! If you don't mind saying - is it speed reduction gear drive or hydraulic? Based on the Sound I guessed gear drive. Very Impressive How it works - Very Smooth - And I could tell even with 3/4 bar it was not (obviously) straining!

Good job!... I really liked your video...

Wow. That was very cool.

Good scroll machine! Going to checkout your other blacksmithing vids. John

I work in a actual machine shop in texas. nice video brother. would like to do some one day.

when i took metal shop we made the small things,wine rack,napkin holder things like that.....where would you find or buy a top like that...ty

blacksmithing......and a Concours in the background. Bit to snowy to ride the Connie, so we twist some steel. Looks good man!

this design would make some amazing fences

Te felicito Amigo, Buen Trabajo

What a great machine, wish had one when i was making scrolls, much better than welding studs to the bench and pulling like hell, didnt need to go to the gym though !

jesus that thing has some power to bend that stuff cold

what are these scrolls used for? by the way where can i get blacksmithing lessons?

The torque!!!!!

Do you use these for fences? Like, you use this technique to get that shape?

@modernblacksmith man thats a great invench i saw the other vids of you runnin it.but didnt realize you built it!1.5hp that is crazy

What kind of motor you use , I would like to make one of them for my shop

Safety glasses! You asked to be reminded, sir!

NIce brother...would love to see you make a gate with those..would look nice around a swimming pool !

Dude that thing is a B E A S T !!!

can I ask what your using for a drive motor, on the jig, is it just a hydrolic moter

good job and my respect for you

@leonrenaud developing the machine over the next few years, not likely to sell plans yet

could you tell me about your equipment to be produce it? ex such as 2d plan

I wish I had this machine.

Good job Man !!!

this is sick. what a great trade.

Damn well done !

Great job !!! but I heat whether cold. The winther is the hell .

mainly fence work, and things like window bars, yard ornaments... and in some cases even to make a cage! thats all i can think of...

wow. what are these scrolls used for ?

very good to work there..hot work and cold weather! very nice..! greeting from Philippines!

what ya using for a motor/gearing for that there machine??? make a video of that will ya!!

Nice work

nice job

I picked up a trick to close a pair of vise grips from my shop teacher a little while ago; if you were to have held it backwards from how you were holding it, it snaps shut with much less effort. Good betting game too, see who can close it tightest!

Nice machine any videos on you torsionator?

Очень хорошие руки у вас ,а это самое главное для умельца. Супер.

Very neat.........

Love your channel 👍

@modernblacksmith whats the biggest stock you can bend cold

Many many... Thanks you

super work

150:1 - what do u mean by that/ is it a gear system ? thanks..old school really great

I appreciate Vise Gris so much!

gracias amigo por compartir tus conosimientos

I have absolutely no need for one but I want a torsionator!

What kind of motor drives that torsionator? Looks like it could give quite the pinch, but of course, one should pay attention when using anything dangerous...

Keep it up man!

ótimo trabalho,parabéns,abraços...Alexandre-------BRASIL

.hey, my father is a blacksmith too and i want to build for him this machine im trying to to figure out which kind of motor to use

Belíssimo trabalho, parabéns!

Me gustria saber como fabricar una o mejor dicho tener los detalles para la fabricacion

That is awesome, i want one. :)

That's awesome

wow, that's cool!

Very nice! Great design and process you've made!...but I'll be honest, that's quite the risk to the eyes!

Good Bless Mexico ....

Wow very nice
