I show / use a new hardy hole swage block, try some other techniques and show a few custom touch marks.

Hey Glen !I love your new Bonehead approved logo! Can you let me know what your new mini swages are gonna run? I love the one with the small step on it!

Hi Steven, Thanks for your generous donation. As usual, I'll recognize you for this in an upcoming blacksmithing video. And I'll email you about the small multi-use swage block. 😬

If there is a person who took the science and art of blacksmithing and advanced it into more modern techniques, it is Glen.

Just received my hammer and multi-use swage. I can't wait to get home tonight and try it out. It is going to be super useful

In a few years, everyone will be using your swage block idea! Thanks for sharing it, it makes tons of sense to me. The versatility is obvious, but only you thought of how to do it. Congratulations!

The tool itself is nothing revolutionary but I really like being able to change the hardy shank's position. Thanks Bryson.

Hi James, I use my stubby hammer daily. It's not the hardest hammer being 1045 and the way I use it, it needs dressing every now and then. But the "softness" of this hammer has seemingly saved my arm some wear and tear. I may discontinue selling this - glad you like yours. Thanks for all.

Your multi use swage block looks very handy! I can't wait for your next tong video.

@gstongs Жыл бұрын

You won't have to wait long as I will likely post a tong making video next. And use my small swage block in that video as well. Thanks.

Glen, I have a feeling you'll be getting a lot of use out of this new swage block.

@gstongs Жыл бұрын

Hi Mike, yeah, I'm already using this a lot. Might not be for everyone as they might prefer a larger swage block like the one you reviewed a while back but this is working out well for me. Thanks for all.

Nice, informative video as always Glen. I like your "bonehead approved" touchmark. Tell me, do you forge those multi-use swage blocks or do you get the machinist to mill them out? I think forging them would be somewhat time-consuming.... 😁

@gstongs Жыл бұрын

Hi Tony, I had a machinist mill these small swage blocks. Forging this (for me), while not impossible, would take forever and not be nearly as accurate. I'm happy with my Bonehead Approved mark but I think the size needs altering. Thanks.
