Very nice work! I feel that your guillotine design is superior to most. I like the idea of the swage being square on one end, tapered on the other yielding a choice of action. I like your approach to things and your editing technique is entertaining. Of all the metal work videos I have studied, to me yours are the best. Thank you and please make more!
+Torbjörn Åhman - Sorry I meant for the Smithin Magician- I would like to purchase one..but not sure what the blade or die you were using to make the first cut into the bar. Thanks again-
thanks for posting your videos i've gotten a lot out of them ... i need to build a guillotine would you mind sharing the basic dimensions of the one you're using in the video? specifically the diememsions of the base plate and slot for the die. thanks!
This type of tool is more or less only used under power hammers I think, but should work fine also with a striker, but you will mangle and deform the top part being hit by a sledge.
I think if you put two springs inside left and right of swage to keep the upper die always little above the bottom die you wont need every time to pull the upper die , wasting time and the tool. Just an opinion.
René VdB I don't have any plans for it. It's more or less based on the "original" Smithin Magician - www.blacksmithsupply.com/catalog.aspx?StoreName=blacksmith_supply&DeptID=269444I'm sure, if you google it, you will find enough images to make your own.
I'm not so sure what that is really, and the dating sounds ridiculous. It could be a blacksmithing tool but probably more like a fuller than a swage. Most drills back then was sharpened by reforging the tip, so in that regard it could be right.
@@torbjornahman I have watched since day 1 but seen a few things that just aren't adding up, i am not a blacksmith that is why I was here looking into swages, there was another episode they found purple wood. well as I have plumbed many things over the years, there is a chemical for pvc and it just happens to be purple primer for pvc plumbing, i literally look like they dunked the wood into a bucket of it
So cool! It seems so simple once you see how it's done; but was extremely clever of the first person to think of it

Thank you! Merry Christmas.
Cool video.
Love it! Very cool :-)
amazing!
Excellent way to make a tendon. What is the die size you are using? Thank you again for making this video..I am just learning.
+Steve Dettwiler On the swage or power hammer?
+Torbjörn Åhman - Sorry I meant for the Smithin Magician- I would like to purchase one..but not sure what the blade or die you were using to make the first cut into the bar. Thanks again-
+Steve Dettwiler Ah, the die stock is 20x60mm if I remember right, 1045/C45 steel.
I don’t have a power hammer so I am making sewage for tenons. I hope I can weld a Harty shank on the bottom. My welding is very limited
For manual hammering you might look into a guillotine tool instead! Working with a striker you can make a set of bottom and top tools
Torbjörn Åhman thank You. I do have a set of blank dies
Vad använder du för kamera? helt sjukt bra kvalité på bilden!
Tack. Nikon D800.

+Gregg G Use what suits your needs or material you have in stock :) Mine is based on this - www.blacksmithsupply.com/catalog.aspx
The large hammer you used in this video: did you forge it yourself, or did you purchase it?
+petegalvs The hand hammer I use in this video - yes I have forged that one.
You are a true craftsman. It is an absolute pleasure to watch your work.
+petegalvs Thanks!
The problems of dimensionality with forging remind me of the corrections needed to change the bearing, yaw, pitch of an airplane
It seems like there's the main work, the correction, and finally the correction of the correction
Indeed!
It can't be much fun to use this without an autohammer. Guess that is when you bring in a helper eh?
This type of tool is more or less only used under power hammers I think, but should work fine also with a striker, but you will mangle and deform the top part being hit by a sledge.
Did you use the tenon for something?
I don't think I did here :)
Show 👍
If I could make square things round, I would.
where does a guy find those kinda swage blocks?
Grant
You make them! Check out my other video where I make this one.
Shut up! That's awesome. G'dang!

Yes, you can make all sorts of additions for a better workflow. This is just the basics :)
i mean the guilotine tool!

well looks like the curse of oak island is full of &#!^, they claimed the swages they found where to sharpen things
ok? Link?
