Blacksmithing - Forging a half round swage
Рет қаралды 107,482
8 жыл бұрынIn this video I show how to make a half round swage with a handle. Primarily to be used under the power hammer.
This one is made from a piece of custom "High strain steel" along the lines of A517(B)... Odd but I got some drops for free and it seems to work for a verity of tools. For this type of tool even mild steel would hold up pretty good I think, but medium carbon steel like 1045,4140 would be my standard steel pick.

I have the guts to try just not the funds to take it to the next step. But I’m slowly getting there and finding other ways to achieve the same goal with smaller less expensive tools. I’ve been wanting to get into forging because I have the wood working skills and some fabrication skills. Just wanting to step out of my comfort zone again. Lol. But I’ve been watching a lot of your videos and understanding some of the principles of what your doing. And my mind has been running wide open with ideas from your vids. Thank you for doing the videos.

Great job Torbjörn! I finished my first real decorative piece last week. A metal woodrack for fire wood. more than 8 meters of round bar, 12 different pieces, 20 rivets. It is not at all perfect, it has a lot of small imperfections but I'm really proud of it. Most difficult build that I've ever done :D

+Milos Cucukovic Thanks! It will take a while to heat up so I think it's beneficial, however a mild steel version would probably hold up for quite a while also, depending on how you use it.

How would a handle have been attached to something like that back before modern welding? Would the entire tool, handle and all, just be forged as a whole?
@torbjornahman 7 жыл бұрын
One could have forged the entire piece, no problem. BUT, this tool is meant to be used with a power hammer, so it's not a traditional tool in that way. A similar, "authentic" tool is made with a shank underneath to fit your anvil hardy hole.
