Very nice job on that swage block! I can see now why one of those is so expensive. That was a whole lot of machining there. That block will probably last a lifetime

I'm just guessing here but those two young fellows must be brothers and their dad is giving them a life skill that you're probably never going to forget plus the time spent with each other great job on both the anvils and the swag block😊

I am soo incredibly envious of your shop, tools, and skill. Thanks for sharing, and giving us something to dream of. XD

Beautiful job.

cant help thinking this would be a perfect test project for a apprentice machinist , a very sweet project in deed , nice to see younger generation learning such skills

Very nice work. I bet it feels great to make a quality tool that will last a lifetime!

Great job on the work but, you momma sees you working without safety glasses you gonna be in trouble :)

Excellent video, thank you 👍🏼 Now please get some eye protection 👀💪

You did a great job on this! Thanks for sharing your work. 🙂

Из какого-то куска железа сделать такой шедевр... Ну ты -- мастер! Однозначно -- подписка и палец вверх!

Ah! The pleasures of having a shop!

There’s a lot of people in these comments who know heck of a lot more than I do, but seem equally as impressed as I am. It’s very rare to get so many positive comments from so many skilled people, well done. Many years after you’ve gone to the great workshop in the sky someone will be using your creation and boasting about owning it. That’s hell of a thought.

Really nice job, l have been machining for 42years and l like old equipment too. Now lt think l know what my next big project is going to be. I need a swage block too. Good job with the video.

Good camera work around the machining, you really get in there and give us a look at what would be hard to see even in person.

A great rough and dirty project with no major yap yap plan plan. Amazing! Stealing the idea! 😎🇺🇸🔥⚒⚔️

Good to see no Digital read out, all measuring and movement done from the dials, that's old school how I was taught when I was an apprentice, thx bro good to see the old ways are still used.

Not gunna lie, how square your bandsaw cut gave me a warm and fuzzy tingle. All the tooling for the mill was quite satisfying as well. Nice job!!!

Young Lion, you do such good work. Wonder how good you'll become in the coming years. Cheers

Nicely done, and nice to see the youngster in the shop!

Awesome!!! Really nice tool you have made! May it serve you well.

I want one just as thing of beauty fantastic video thanks for posting bren new subscriber

Perfect !!! Nothing to say !!! Bravo again !!!

That turned out great!

Great project, great shop, great attention to detail homerun all around.

I love the smell of tool oil in the morning!!_

The worlds most precise swage block!

Fine job!

This is super awesome. Excellent work. Beautiful tool. I learned something.

Safety glasses please ! It happens so fast ! And you do such great work ! Thank you for sharing.

Great Job! Now I wish I had a mill! Lol.

Very nice Swage and great video! Thanks! 🎅🏻👍🏻🇫🇮

Nice work man! It's nice to see a young guy with skills like this. In the future it might be a good idea to toss on some safety glasses though... safety squints will get you pretty far, but there is always the chance something could take out an eye..

Nice work!!! Now I know what I’ve got to do with a 4”x 8”x 12” Block that is a big paper weight right now... Thank you for sharing...

Cool! Came out great!

Nicely done.

That sir, is a thing of beauty

Absolutely a great project. Would love to see your take a bench anvil / mini swage block!

Those are quite some nice chips you're getting with that fly cutter.👍

Convenient to use.. I like it !

Thank you for showing this creating swage block.

I don't need one but...DAMN I WANT ONE NOW...

Awesome work.... thanks for the vid

Done well looks good . Love ya work 👊🤙👍😀🤪🤪🤪🤪

I was going to send you a photo of my homemade sewage block but it turn out to be more of a tractor weight!

Great job! No wonder those things are so damn expensive! 👍🏼

Awesome. Just plain awesome.

Nice one mate 👍🏽

Nice job!

Awesome work!! Great video!!

Good work, subscribed

That,s great thanks and looks so cool 😎

Nicely done

Awesome Vid Uncle D!

Thanks bro, I got yelled at by my wife. it's dinner time. 😳. Very good 👍😁 God bless you and your family.

ALL. THE. COOL. TOOLS. 🤩

Amazing!!! ⚒

Sure would like to see him color case harden that work of art!

For people that haven't a clue what this is .. i looked it up for you....through-holes are of various shapes and sizes and are used to hold, support or back up a hot bar of metal for further shaping. Operations performed on a swage block include but are not limited to bending, cutting, punching and forming. The sides are scalloped to present formed shapes for forging operations. Shapes are for example the curve of a wheel, which could be used to finish a wheel rim, using a suitable hammer. Other shapes, such as the half hexagon, can be used with a matching top swage to form a hexagonal cross-section on a bar. The various shapes around the edge of the swage block all have corresponding shapes in the form of top swages to shape iron bar into various sections....

Excellent Work! Just Outstanding Quality!! Tooling worked Great!! Liked !! Subbed !!

Dang nice job, kid. Someone twice your appear age couldn't do any better. You've got skills. Be proud of what you did here, I only saw a couple of skate marks. SUB'd

Very nice 👍

Very nice

Так-то парнишка молодец, без вопросов! А с другой стороны: с таким оборудованием... делай не хочу))) особо сложного-то тут нет, но красиво-залипательно 👍👍👍

Nice work , glad to hear your a machinist not a welder

That is cool!

Bellissimo! Molto ben fatto!

Having the lack of joy of using an 100 year old SWAGE BLOCK that was roughly 120 pounds of steel, Yours is a very well done piece of art. And loved seeing an old B&S milling machine again. Now let's see ALEX STEELE compete against this guys talents.

Серьезная работа !👍👍👍👍👍

Great job too fergot to mention that

Fantastico!

You are just showing off all different end mills and cutters(and equipment) you have access too. Really I'm jealous and have wanted a large swage like that. Awesome work but I am curious how many cutters were harmed in the making of this video lol.

Sweet!

Unreal 👌 . Good to see a lad your age with these skills well done. Welding could do with some practice 🤭 . Keep it up dude

Nice Job. Where do you get bandsaw blades like that ? My metal blades struggle with 4mm mild steel

Очки! Надо приучать ребенка к технике безопасности с детства!

Now that you have an original shaped, a reproduction 'could' be made by taking a mold off the original to cast them out of suitable material, say ductile cast iron for instance. Just a thought, nice work! You must be a machinist by day.

What type of steel did you use. Was any hardening done to it?

Отличный дизайн куб!!!

Nice work, but one important thing where are your safety glasses?

A $20 chunk of metal turned into a $1000 tool right before your eyes

👍 nice!!!

nice

THANKSGIVING

Wonderful work, super nice to have the tools to do it with, we hope it was hardened or it will get ruined when used. How to keep this perfect thing from being eaten by rust? It is really nice, your uncle is getting a true gift of love.

Оце майстер пулі отливає! 😁

Nice work! I have that same Kysor Johnson band saw. Yours is shiny though. Someone must have removed the coolant trays from yours. That mill is a beast! Wonder how a fella could machine those dished parts without that fancy cutter or a cnc. Oops, seen you comment below about the custom made tool. Now I need to be on the lockout for a giant bearing ball/roller.

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing Just a question about the design though. Does the postion of the two largest V cuts weaken the block? If they were offset a little, I know it wouldn't look as symmetrical, but would it remove a potential break point. Adding the additional patterns along the same line, would that further weaken? Not a criticism, just wondering. Thanks again.

WOW ! Sir..

If you made them to sell, I’d buy one. For me to make one would require a shop with tools that I just couldn’t afford right now. 😄

Pro tip: double the playback speed for your enjoyment.

Tá top viu

Nice work! But protect those eyes young man! I can’t believe with all that equipment you don’t have safety glasses???

How did you match the X and Z together to mill the spoon hollow? I miss having use of those big milling machines.

For fist 2 minutes I couldn't figure out if you're a welder or the torch guy💥 hahaha hehe he🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😅😜✌🇺🇸✌ very good job you have more patience than I do. i suck😭😭😂😜😳😀😃😄

What grade steel did you use?

Береги глаза!

What kind of metal did u make this out of?

turn up your voltage, especially on thicker pieces that will sink heat quickly

Dam man your good at this how much do want for one ( im not kidding im looking for a swage block )

When you were milling the edges around the 3mimuet mark, is there a reason why you had to remove the scale first, rather than let the mill do it for you? Excuse my ignorance if there is an obvious reasons why you can not. Seems like it would save a step, but my metal working experience is limited to my shop brake, and building my own custom roof flashing's as needed.
