- We made this swage block for my uncle who needed a portable swage block that could double as a light anvil. The idea is to build a stand that will accommodate it in multiple orientations that he can take on the road to blacksmith events. When I accepted this job I thought it would be simple but soon realized I didn't have the right tooling so I made the 2" ball nose end mill (see my other videos), profiled the 1" round drill and machined the 2" boring bar for the large cove. This swage block has a 7/8" hardy hole, A 7/16" pritchel hole, a spoon depression and five sizes of dimples for coving, doming or upsetting. I enjoyed this project, its nice to do a machining project once in a while that doesn't require a high level of precision!
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
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!!!
I am soo incredibly envious of your shop, tools, and skill. Thanks for sharing, and giving us something to dream of. XD
A great rough and dirty project with no major yap yap plan plan. Amazing! Stealing the idea! 😎🇺🇸🔥⚒⚔️
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.
Perfect !!! Nothing to say !!! Bravo again !!!
Nicely done, and nice to see the youngster in the shop!
Awesome!!! Really nice tool you have made! May it serve you well.
This is super awesome. Excellent work. Beautiful tool. I learned something.
Из какого-то куска железа сделать такой шедевр... Ну ты -- мастер! Однозначно -- подписка и палец вверх!
Absolutely a great project. Would love to see your take a bench anvil / mini swage block!
Very nice Swage and great video! Thanks! 🎅🏻👍🏻🇫🇮
I don't need one but...DAMN I WANT ONE NOW...
ALL. THE. COOL. TOOLS. 🤩
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..
Так-то парнишка молодец, без вопросов!
А с другой стороны: с таким оборудованием... делай не хочу))) особо сложного-то тут нет, но красиво-залипательно 👍👍👍
А для чего эта фигня, что с ней делают?
Nicely done.
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 too fergot to mention that
Awesome work.... thanks for the vid
Great job on the work but, you momma sees you working without safety glasses you gonna be in trouble :)
Thanks for your concern...
@@GreenridgeMetalWorks keep up the great work.
Young Lion, you do such good work. Wonder how good you'll become in the coming years. Cheers
Great project, great shop, great attention to detail homerun all around.
A $20 chunk of metal turned into a $1000 tool right before your eyes
Did that for twenty five years.
Two things.
1) Wear your safety glasses.
2) Gloves while running a bandsaw is not a good idea.
Watched a young man doing that a few years ago. His hand slipped, the blade grabbed his glove and pulled it in. It went into the web between his thumb and forefinger almost a half an inch before he could even react. Be careful young man, you obviously have talent. Don't lose it over a correctable mistake.
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.
Excellent video, thank you 👍🏼
Now please get some eye protection 👀💪
Cool! Came out great!
Nice work! But protect those eyes young man! I can’t believe with all that equipment you don’t have safety glasses???
I was looking for this comment, and would have made it myself if I hadn't seen it. I'm not a "Safety Sally", but with a younger person I'll speak up more.
Also wish I'd been more careful with my hearing protection. If you can't hear as you get older it isolates you...
Серьезная работа !👍👍👍👍👍
I love the smell of tool oil in the morning!!_
The worlds most precise 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.
Scale is extremely hard on carbide milling inserts and carbide inserts are kinda expensive. In addition, if you mill the scale it will get all over the mill, rust and scale are abrasive and are bad for the mill. Great question, thanks for watching 😊
Dude eyes, wear your ppe
That sir, is a thing of beauty
From Winters Machine Works ?
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.
Yes hes a machinist :)
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.
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
Pro tip: double the playback speed for your enjoyment.
Bellissimo! Molto ben fatto!
Отличный дизайн куб!!!
Unreal 👌 . Good to see a lad your age with these skills well done. Welding could do with some practice 🤭 . Keep it up dude
@gemini232003 a weld is a weld gemini. Always aim for best. Trying to support the lad and motivate him further 🤷♂️.

@@foreveradam7813 спасибо большое.
Ah! The pleasures of having a shop!
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
Where is your safety glasses
😝😝😝😝
Lowell Bottger and your wife's pocketbook
Thanks bro, I got yelled at by my wife. it's dinner time. 😳. Very good 👍😁 God bless you and your family.
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😭😭😂😜😳😀😃😄
Very nice work. I bet it feels great to make a quality tool that will last a lifetime!
What type of steel did you use. Was any hardening done to it?
Great Job! Now I wish I had a mill! Lol.
Safety glasses please ! It happens so fast ! And you do such great work ! Thank you for sharing.
Any idea what metal it is?
Nice Job. Where do you get bandsaw blades like that ? My metal blades struggle with 4mm mild steel
This swage block is way above the quality of the overpriced cast ductile iron ones. Very elaborate approach. Time consuming project but with good machining skills worth it.
Nice work, but you really need to use eye protection!!!!!
Thanks for watching 😊
Excellent Work! Just Outstanding Quality!! Tooling worked Great!! Liked !! Subbed !!
Thanks!
jesus dude, wear some eye protection
new there had to be a safety nazi out there
Mark Tidwell - knew* Don't forget about the spelling nazi! 👋👋👋. 👍😉
I had known.... and grammar nazi :)
Sure would like to see him color case harden that work of art!
turn up your voltage, especially on thicker pieces that will sink heat quickly
And preheat or sweat at least over and inch and a half.
What in the tool called that was used for the spoon type depression?
It's a shop made ball nose end mill that I made. Look at my other videos, there's one of me making it.
So what do you charge ? I need one for making farrels and spoon shapes
I'm not sure, if I were building them for sale I'd probably do it different. If you're seriously interested you can go to my facebook and message me and I'll figure out what to charge. Thanks for watching!
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....
Spot on. And for those of just learning the blacksmith craft, understand what an amazing job he's done and how much drool is being generated during viewing. Just an incredible job... and one built to last. The average swage block I've used in my progress so far is over 100 years old, and still going strong. This beautiful beast is likely going to be around for decades to come... or longer. Incredible. Don't own a mill, so all I can do is ask how much he'd charge to replicate this for a private sale... but I'd be afraid to know the answer :)
Nice work; but I'm concerned that you're not using safety glasses; please look after yourself.
SAFETY GLASSES
Nice job!
Thanks a lot!
5:00 hope you wear safety glasses on other machines, you’ve got a long way to go, young man.
13:37 I just saw that cutter being made on a previous video, the left handed one made on backwards day!
Yep, those horizontal band saws really throw out lots if eye shrapnel... Thanks for watching.
Nice work! What is the name of the tool that cuts the concave radius?!?
Thats a ball nose end mill I made out of a bearing roller. I did a video on it, check it out if you like! Thanks for watching!
Those are quite some nice chips you're getting with that fly cutter.👍
Excellent work 👌 What type of metal is it?
It machines like 4140. Kinda hard.
I want one just as thing of beauty fantastic video thanks for posting bren new subscriber
Nice work, but one important thing where are your safety glasses?
Dam man your good at this how much do want for one ( im not kidding im looking for a swage block )
Una lleleria ;trifasica modificarla a monofasica. Ayuda.
So who made it saw a kid then old man hands so i assume it was the older guy kid just used the bandsaw
My two sons appear in several of my videos. Levi my 17 year old, worked with me through this project. Thanks for watching!
Very nice. Just curious, what in material and labor this would cost to make?
This piece of steel was from a scrapyard so I got the steel for around $15, you could probably pick up a similar piece from a machine shop for under $40. From start to finish there's probably 8 hours labor. Most machine shops charge $65/hr or more so it would be expensive if you hired a shop to build one. I would do it for a lot less than that but it would still be expensive. Thanks for watching.
One that thick but maybe a little smaller that would fit in a medium (13"x11") usps flatrate box. What would that run a person?
5:24 how can you draw perfect circles
Does it need to be heat treated?
It is pretty hard already, it was actually kind of hard to machine. However, if it doesn't perform well I will heat treat it. Thanks for watching!
You didn't dress those sharp corners, anything 90° shouldn't be sharp, they need to be rounded off so you don't get a stress riser in the material you're working on.
I left all the dressing for the new owner so it would suit his preference. Thanks for watching!
Sin gafas trabajado con viruta de acero 🤦♂️🤦♂️
How did you match the X and Z together to mill the spoon hollow?
I miss having use of those big milling machines.
I powerfed x and hand fed z. Thanks for watching!

Swage block😮 ... WTF? Bloc de sertissage ..🤣🤣😂.!
And your safety glasses are where??? Good to see a young person doing this. Enjoyed watching, you did a nice job! Just made me cringe as you were blowing the chips from the band saw with no safety glasses on.
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😊
Step 1a.
Remove all scale with 24v 10A ELECTROLYSIS.
Nice work BUT....... It's "Safety First", not second. Soory
How much would u want to make this for me and ship to hawaii
Missed the Hardening and heat treatment of your project.
I had planned on heat treatment but it was pretty hard as it is. We may end up doing it later on. Thanks for watching!
nice
Dude wear some safety glasses. Only have two eyes. Young guy like you learning very bad habits
On patrol....
Great job! No wonder those things are so damn expensive! 👍🏼
You did a great job on this!
Thanks for sharing your work. 🙂
How much would you sell one for
Tough to say, I'd do it different if it were for sale so I'd have to think about it. If you are seriously interested you can go to my facebook and pm me. There is a link to my facebook on the header of my channel page. Thanks!
Stop it your ruining my self esteem!
What kind of metal did u make this out of?
Кто-нибудь понял что это? есть профессионалы??
almost sounds like the wire feed is up to high
All ways wear protective gear !
What is the round mill bit you used to make the bowl shapes called?
I suppose you could call it a ball nose end mill. I made that cutter from a large bearing roller. There's a video on my channel of me making it. Thanks for watching.
