Inspired by spending countless hours watching the Clifton Ralph videos, here is my version of forging a slip hook.
FORGING A SLIP HOOK: Starting with 1-1/4" x 3-1/2" 1144 carbon steel using the MZ75 Power Hammer with a 1.5hp compressor with a 20 gallon tank.

Great video! Unless a person has tried to do something like this it is impossible to know how easy you make it look. Well done.

I've been looking forward to this one since I saw Ken make a slip hook last year at SOFA. Seeing the tooling is great! I really like the reversible taper tooling. Ingenious!

I would clean the shop that Mr. Ralph held class in Down in Tennessee at Bill Manly's place

Do you mind sharing info on your tooling,particularly the angle of your taper die and the diameter of the punch you use and ball swedge size as well in this demo? Thank You

@KjZiturKensCustomIron 6 жыл бұрын

The ball swedge is 1-1/4" and I use 7/16" punch. The taper die is between 15 and 20 degrees..

I have lost 2 copies of CR videos to loaning them to friends. Any idea where I could get another copy? 🤔 I'll never let them out of I ever get my hands on them again!!

You might try the Blacksmiths' Association of Missouri (BAM)

How to tell you’re a Blacksmith by Clifton Ralph First, buy an Anvil and a bag of marbles. After that, whenever you but another tool, leave a marble. Buy a tool - leave a marble,… Buy a tool - leave a marble. When you have lost all your marbles, YOU’RE A BLACKSMITH!
