purgatoryironworks HAHA Amen to that man!!! I've been working on my Clay Spencer Tire hammer for 14 months now... Still isn't done! but boy will I be glad when it is!
The only addition to this video I would have like to see, is what kind of steel this is, and what is best for drifts. From the sparks, I'd assume this is just some mild steel, maybe A36 or something.
Its a 5160 spring steel, the camera doesnt do a real good job of catching the sparks. As far as whats best, a higher carbon steel will always last longer than a mild steel one and much less prone to hanging up because of metal "peeling".
Ah okay. I like making my drifts out of 4140, just personal preference. Maybe in the future though, do a video on heat treats for the drifts, and the metals that allow for easy heat treating. Reason I say that is because, I normally just heat treat the tip of my drifts, and then anneal the striking end.
hey friend, I miss the more instructional-type videos. If you are able, please make us a few of these. Maybe hinges... would love to learn to make hinges. Swords are my thing, but I wanna make furniture for doors and cabinets and gates and all. Just an idea. love the videos, regardless. Wish I still lived in Valdosta, I would come to visit.
You never cease to amaze me with the amount of knowledge AND the ability to relay that knowledge to us, the viewer!!!!! Great Job as always!!!!!
Hey nice videos. I've been watching a few and been learning a lot. Thanks for sharing and you're a really good instructor.
+miganimator
thanks!
Nice work u and black bear are good Teachers 👍👍👍
What type of steel did you use for this? 1095 etc? Thanks
1% carbon in 1095 is def overkill, a 1045 would work just fine.
edit: okay i'm 6yrs late ignore me
Have you looked into using Brian Brazeal style tools and techniques? It would make forging bigger stock like this a LOT easier and faster.
Mr. Brian does some really pretty work but there is no re inventing the wheel. You want to work heavy? Its called BIG A$$ POWER HAMMER :)

Ideal steel would be h13. After that I'd go with 4340 or 4140

What steel is the 1” round?
which material is that
Nice work.
I don't think you mentioned, is that high carbon steel, or is that more of a mild steel?
Ray Wister it's 5160, but I would suggest 4140, or if you have a power hammer or press h13
S!ngularity where's your vids?
damn that ring on that anvil
Do you use store bought handles or do you make your own?
Whatever I can put hands on and is the most cost effective
Why is your grinder spinning upward? That seems dangerous
Wouldn't annealing the steel help with the grinding
it's grinder not file
Just watching this video and randomly noticed that he was on forged in fire
I r famoos
👍✌️
we r forging an axe and want to drift the hole with hydraulic machine. but after one hole the drifter goes faulty
Use a higher carbon steel
purgatoryironworks FFS there's more to steel than carbon...
@@trampmaster13 you gonna offer better advice or nah?
Use h13
How would you say drift in Spanish?
El Rice Burner
do you have to harden it
No, the heat from your item will draw any temper you have in the drift, you are relying on the properties of the steel
purgatoryironworks does it need to be normalized prior to use?
