Blacksmiths usually don't grind or machine surfaces unless they require it for fit. There's no reason to be ashamed of a hammered surface. Machinists however detest anything that's not machined, considering it crude and offensive. Perhaps that's his background. Indeed, the tool looks like a machined product.

I agree! and just so you know, its lyrics.

Just the sounds of the machine and hammer makes for a nice nap time for me.

No music!

Cephalon24 I think his video’s are amazing

I also approve of his sledgehammer technique. I use the same motion when cleaving troublesome wood pieces.

The thing I love about blacksmithing, it's one of the few things where hitting something harder with a bigger hammer is usually a good idea, not a bad one XD

Cool. Thanks :)

Cool, thanks!

Wow, sorry you didn't see him work. Thanks

Great, thank you Keenan.

Thanks

Nice! Make me idialistic man more knowledgeable!!

Wow, thank you Andrew!

Making HUERTAS Stuff 。

Agree'd - COMPLETELY awesome

Thanks!

Thank you so much! Yes, a peen like this will spread the material in two directions only, more or less. That's why a tool like this is so useful for certain tasks!

Torbjorn has already answered, but, yes. For those who may not know what you were meaning, in sheetmetal work (car body panels, motorbike tanks etc) this is known as a linear stretch die, and the idea is to stretch the metal in only one axis. With a typical round die in sheetmetal, the metal stretches in all directions (360 degrees) thus forming a dome in the panel, and increasing the panel length in any direction you measure. With the linear stretch die, it only really stretches in a line - say the X axis. So the panel forms a curve and grows longer in this axis, but remains flat (mostly) across the Y axis, and it's length in this direction is unchanged, although it gets a little thinner. (ideally!). You can see exactly that happening when he tests it at the end, the steel basically does not grow at all in the direction parallel to the die, but very quickly increases it's size perpendicular to the die - all of the metal displaced in making it thinner goes in this direction.

Thanks for the additional and very detailed info, my observation of Torbjorn's die shape was based on similar properties of a blacksmith's rounding hammer.

Thank you!

:) Thanks

Wow, thanks Dean!

и заметьте, с минимумом отходов!

happy new year

joy to the world

@@jengieconfesorperonosr.5424 You to mate...!

Ha ha, thank you!

Thank you!

I think it was! :)

Most machinists don't need a power hammer die.

Exactly! ... "Forged" is a greatly underestimated concept by most people. If simply "machined out of rod stock" the tool would become flattened and hammered up into power hammer. By forging, a LOT of metal is compressed into a very dense structure which he engineered to accomplish this task. His care to strengthen the flange was required, the careful thermal control of the work is critical, machine work to stabilize the tool in the hammer...every aspect of his efforts all engineered in his head, so it would WORK. Spectacular! That said, what proves that he is a superhero, is how he kept his cool when the quenching oil flashed. A lesser man would have CUT and restarted the video with a fresh pair pants. Keep teaching us wise one. Thank You

@@dusk6460 This is correct. If this were cut out of a solid billet on a lathe, and then the profile milled to shape, it would never be as durable or impact resistant as it becomes because it was forged- forging compresses the grain structure of the metal, making it more dense and tight grained- able to take more abuse before distorting or wearing (of course, all assuming proper heat treatment applies).

Thanks Mark!!

no spider killing please unless it’s bigger than a cat! Lol

I hate when I am inside of time attempting to murder an arachnid
