A simple pair of tongs. The ends can be shaped further for different holding styles.

This is one of the best forging tutorial videos I've seen. The comparison shots speaks volumes in showing the progression of your work! Thanks so much for sharing!

Others have several times used "clean" with regard to your work. I would say that your work and your shop are highly intentional, disciplined and organized. And you are a teacher-by-example. But we all agree -- Well done, Sir. Please keep these videos coming.

Thank you very much, and yes, my thinking is, if I am going to show the World my shop and work, it must be impeccable.

I am surprised that this channel hasn't blown up yet because your blacksmithing and videography are both absolutely beautiful. Keep it up 👏

Thanks man, honestly it feels futile at times and the last year has been slow.

@@rigoniironworks it is virtuous to hold yourself to your own standard of what makes you proud. Your work demonstrates your virtue. I think that in time people will recognize that, so keep it up 👍

Nice "Story board" of the steps. The tooling you make sure makes for repeatable forging. Very well done John!

Thanks! I'm doing this as a tutorial on patreon so thought I'd show the progression steps here.

i do have a feeling you're controlling the pressure which the hammer of the machine hits as you adjust it by the pedal you use for it to hammer the iron/steel into shape it's interresting atleast to see someone who knows smithing so i could learn but doing it is abit different than actually using the tools but knowing how todo so is the first steps to properly use tools i'd say

I can't decide whether you're more machinist or blacksmith. Very nicely done in any event.

@rigoniironworks 2 жыл бұрын

A means to an end, Good Sir. If machining gets me closer to accurate forging, then that's the route I'm headed! The finished piece is all that matters.

Amazingly clean work as always! I just made my first successful set of tongs (first attempt I broke the jaws off fussing with them). The challenge for me is drawing out the reins; by hand at the anvil tends to lead to ‘i’m tired and my arms hurt, thats good enough’. so not the straightest or smoothest, but functional. I’ll get there.

@rigoniironworks 2 жыл бұрын

Drawing the reins is a pain at the anvil. Try to forge in 1" increments if one piece. Forge welding jaws onto the handles also works.

nice video; thanks. At about 5:50 it shows your fly press in the background.....I just ordered a #5 and want to get going on the stand for it before it arrives. Wondering if you would be willing to share specs on yours and any info otherwise would be much appreciated..... thanks!

I've got a no.5 as well. I made a plate with drilled/threaded holes for tool holding. Make a full grid of holes and a clamp set holds stuff easier.

Why does the rivet not fix firmly? How to achieve a movable connection?

@SlimTony 2 жыл бұрын

Dumb question: Doesn't it damage the powerhammer when it hits those cold guides? (not the form tools but the depth stop like at 3:43)

@rigoniironworks 2 жыл бұрын

Yes and no. If the dies are only on one side, and you hammer down Very hard, then yes, it wears the hammer. The key is to only forge to the kiss block and no more. Mindlessly forging heavy, wears out your tooling and your hammer.
