Your small town has 3,052 more people than my small town. I'm a retired sheet metal mechanic from the naval ship repair industry and recently discovered your channel. I have become hooked on the automotive channels featuring sheet metal fabrication. I am enjoying your collaboration with Ron Covell and plan on watching many of your previous videos. This old dog is always interested in learning new tricks.
The process you are using and that Ron use are amazing! Thanks for sharing and helping guys new to the craft expand our knowledge and skill sets! Much appreciated!
Hello Paul: One of the reasons that Ron and I are doing the same part in two different ways is to get out as much information as possible. There is more ways to skin a cat. Thanks for watching and please subscribe. Jere
Jere, having been born in Humboldt, Willits caught my eye although I am watching this collaboration from Papua. Thank you and Ron for sharing your skills. By the way, I worked for over a decade in the only Rhodium source in the US (I think.) Again, you and Ron are class acts for what you share.
Jere - Hey, the hammerform looks great! Congratulations on bringing that to a finish, especially knowing how much you hate wood dust. That's very sweet of you to offer to chrome plate the clamping fixture. Would you consider using rhodium instead of chrome? (Joke)
It would have made much more sense to make the clamping fixture out of uranium, then there wouldn't be the need for rhodium plating at all. Also you would have benefited from the added weight of uranium, compared to steel.
@@deeiks12 I could not find any uranium here in my town but will keep looking. I will spend some time on E Bay and see if I can find a used Rhodimizer at a reduced price. Jere
@@jerekirkpatrick2092 Ah yes I remember you mentioned living in s small town. I must be used to the big city life here in eastern europe, where i can just go to a hardware store and buy some enriched free machining uranium.
Sit down and have a cold one when we start moving metal. I hope to start on my half by the end of the week. You should learn a lot by having one part made in two different ways. Thanks for watching and comment. Jere
Hello Mossy: Look at my video "Hanging a hoist #3". I use it in a different way and explain why a blacksmith uses it on hot iron. It is great when using a side set under a power hammer when isolating material that you are going to work from material you are not going to work. Jere
Jere and Ron, This is just wonderful to watch and learn from. Two incredible craftsman working on an intriguing project that incorporates subtle technical processes both in layout and the fabrication methods.I have knowledge of plane template making for running moulds used in ornate fibrous plastering. Currently, am using templates for determining section and face mould profiles on a stonemasonry course in Bath (England). Your 3D wooden hammer mould application will add to that knowledge and will be fascinating to follow. Thank you both so much for posting this series - will tune in to all your other contributions too!!
Hello Jeff: It sounds like you have a very interesting project yourself. Making this hammer form was a learning experience for me. I will enjoy making the next video a lot more. Thanks for watching and your comment. Jere
Very intresting, I have to see both Covells videos before I go further vid you again. Intresting project. When talking about a hammer mold, I thougt it shold be concave. PFC this are mutch easier to make and sand. I have seen other do concave ...
I am a cabinet maker by trade, so a buck like this is pretty easy, but I am just learning metal forming, so I am looking forward to the next one. Excellent work on the buck!
Hello Ian: Thank you. I had to use a radiator hose with sand paper around it to smooth out the inside curve. Tools are everything. Thanks for watching. Jere
Hello Andrew: Hello to the UK. It's going to take a while. The sanding dust has sucked up the oil on my lathe and mill so that is where I will start. The next video will be more fun for me. Jere
Good series. I like the simple holder for the sharpie and a surface plate that size for $45 is a home run. For a DIY'er those few holes will never be a problem, virgin stone is way more expensive. I've been looking for one for myself and prices can be ridiculous especially shipping costs.
Hi Jim: Yes surface plates are crazy $$$. I have been using it for years and find that the tapped holes make for easy setup for measuring and laying out. Jere
Thanks again for sharing your experience and knowledge. I learn somthing new with every video whether its a home made tool holding fixture or layout process and I apply it to my own work. So thank you!! Look forward to more videos! And good luck cleaning up dust sucks just finished assembling a motor after powdercoating all the tin and accessories even with fan and door open every thing has an orange hue from the chevy orange 🍊 lol
Hi Phil: It makes me happy that you got some information from this video. That is the main reason for making them. Just know that there are at least two people in this world that are spending the day cleaning their shop. Thanks for watching and your comment. Jere
Its really amazing the passion you put in every detail. Thank you for the tips, and inspiring me to become a professional like you. I learn too much from yours and ron´s videos. Thanks from Argentina!
Hi Jere. 1 day of mess = many days of cleaning. Yup. Sounds about right. Chromed. That almost made me spit out what I was drinking! :) Have a great day. Joe
Hi Joe: I have to get started on the mill and lathe first. The sanding dust sucked up all the oil and left the surfaces open for rust. I put the chrome part in just to see if it would anger anyone. That's the way I roll. Off to clean the shop. Jere
So many clever buck making tips, but I suspect patience and care while sanding to the line is the key to a smooth result. This went by so fast. Do you have an idea of how much time you’ve invested into just making the buck so far? Thanks Jere 👍😎👍
Hello Joel. Good to see you here. With getting the wood and some time at a friends, using his plainer, it took just about a week if you include the time in my shop. Moving the cameras and lights around probably accounts for about a day. I am OK with the tedium of working to close tolerances but usually it's with metal. Off to do some cleaning. Jere
Thanks for adding that all up. It looks time consuming even with the cut sequences. I would think the main advantage of the hammer form is if you were going to be making several of the same thing, correct? I saw the comment of just doing it all direct like with a shot bag and it would be interesting to see that too. And also comparing time spent.
@@tonypires8816 Yes. using a buck or hammer form would decrease time for making many parts. When Ron gets the hammer form, and makes his half, it may give you an idea of the two different ways of doing this project. Good question. Jere
Hello Andre: Yes. I could spend hours, at both Shelby's and STP , making a special part and wind up throwing it in the trash bin. One of the engineers would make a change in the area where the part would fit and after the change the part would no longer fit. Great question. Thanks. Jere
@@jerekirkpatrick2092 very cool. Also sounds like a production design job, they don’t like it you start over. But also a good way to fine tune your skill?
Jere, has your website been taken down? The link above returns with Error 404 and a search nets the same result. Thanks for this video. Very informative.
Paul the web sight is now up. I had it connected to a credit card I no longer use so it expired. Scroll down on the home page and you can see what I have been doing since 1959. Thanks again for the heads up. Jere

Ron. If Rhodium can be made from sanding dust I've got plenty. Jere
@@jerekirkpatrick2092 Yes, you just stuff sanding dust into one end of a 'Rhodimizer', and the Rhodium comes out the other end!

That surface plate - scribe set up is great
With the upright piece being screwed into the plate it frees up your hands for doing the measuring or marking. Jere
Squaring the center punch make so much sense.
Thank you sir. Great stuff.

A hammer form can be any shape. Many are used for putting an outside curve on a piece with a radius on the edge edge.
