Convert your weights to grams, 30 grams = 1oz. Makes measuring small amounts much easier. Your scale should have a grams setting.

You use steel in Pucking die?🤔🤔🤔 You don't afraid of any spark? If this go of the shrapnel can pass through you and your wall behind you(I'm kidding not so much but you definitely get hurt badly)!

Another reason to not press too much. The more compressed the puck is the higher the ignition point will be

Not quite true that, its more the carbon source that determine the ignition point , and a tiny percentage in density (1.7cc is acceptable years now not tell almost a century). The factors that effect the ignition point quality of bp is: 1st carbon source(and all the parameters of it wich is : if its old tree or new, if its cut properly in time ,if it have bark and knobs ,if it's rotten or fresh,if its dried properly before charing, the Charing temperature etc. ), 2nd the purity of the chemicals you use, third the moisture of your end product and 4th the density! Plus if it's heavily graphited or not!

No.... 20 grains volume should weigh 20 grains if your density is correct.
@Steven-cr8ju4 ай бұрын
My two cents: scales are typically most accurate in the middle 20% of its min/max range. Measuring a very small mass, as it appears you are, gives large accuracy fluctuations, as it appears you are experiencing, resulting in undesirable powder and lot variances. Brass ball media does not foul the powder like lead will.
@Jrabsforge4 ай бұрын
The scale is just cheap but I have a video where I shoot my powder out of a 1858 on my other channel and it groups fairly well and brass would be a good Idea I've played with alot of different media and I have those lead balls for my 1795 springfield so I just used them instead of trying somthing pricey I only thought of brass recently when seeing everything black powders new video on black powder

Sir, you made the difference. Here I’m thinking I didn’t have enough tonnage with my press to make the pucks as dense or as hard as they should be. It was the exact opposite! I was pressing too hard which resulted in broken blackpowder pucks. Your video made the difference. Thank you again!!
@Jrabsforge4 ай бұрын
I was thinking the same thing so I got a scale recently and compared it against 777 and it may not be perfect but it's very close to the right density I believe. I have a video on it so you can see for yourself.

Always gotta start somewhere. Few observations, your stock (at least in the video) seemed to be at a dull cherry red to gray heat. Try heating the metal to a dull yellow to bright orange prior to working which will not only make the metal easier to work with but reduce and stress put on the metal. Not sure how close your anvil is to your heat source but it seems like you’re traveling too far a distance between heats which is limiting the workable temperature of your stock. I see you’re working with wood, try getting some pure 100% lump charcoal (not kingsford or other briquettes) it will be more effective in heating the metal to a workable temperature. Hope this helps.

Planning on getting a better forge set up with a good air supply probably a hand crank and yeah it was really bright out for half the video so it was pretty hard to tell If I got anything up to temp and I was using pallet wood because I had an alot and figured coals should still get plenty hot with some air but I realize it was less than ideal conditions but thank you for all the helpful comments I really love the blacksmithing community because the vast majority of people only comment to help or say good things

@@Jrabsforge had crank is ideal, electric is nice but makes it harder to gauge the temperature of your fire and eats your fuel faster. A few good channels to check out are blackbearforge and christcenteredironworks. Both have very good information for beginner smiths and even intermediate to advanced techniques. Roy from Christ centered ironworks has a video in regard to the ideal distance your forge and anvil/vise should be from one another. Coal would be ideal for forging, but charcoal is more accessible in most areas, and neighbors won’t complain as much (if you’re in the city) due to odor.

unfortunately you didn't mix the components well enough before seperating it into two batches. You coule have more of one component in one batch than in the other.
@Jrabsforge5 ай бұрын
I mixed both batches together once it was milled so the ratios would be correct you just don't want the weight to be off balance or the tumblers will jump and the motor will heat up or they could bind somthing up etc.
