Fleur-de-lis Strap Hinge

  • Showing the making of an 18th-century inspired strap hinge with a Fleur-de-lis finial, forge-welded barrel, and forge-welded side-member pintle. I got to do this with good friends Trae, Christopher, and Bo, our cameraman. This is one of 4 hinges for double doors Trae is building for his new woodworking shop. We didn't have a full day, so we had to hurry to finish the first hinge before dark, and I made plenty of mistakes. But the hinge turned out pretty sweet, and I can't wait to finish the project and see the hinges installed on the doors.

    Early on while working on the eye of the first piece, you said "if I was really good I could do this in 1 heat". From watching you work, you ARE really good.
    I just recently found your channel, and after watching only a couple videos so far, I love watching you work! You work quickly and efficiently and produce beautiful work!
    You have definitely become one of my favorite blacksmiths to watch and begin to learn from.
    I've made my metal art using a torch, grinder, welder, hammer, and other tools needed in the past, but my fascination with the art of blacksmithing has increased dramatically in recent months, and I'm looking forward to producing many things using what I've learned from some of my favorite blacksmiths on TH-cam!
    I'm currently trying to finish up my first coal forge build, and I can't wait to put it to use! I'll have a video of it when I can finally get it finished.
    Thank you for the great content you put out,
    Daniel

    Keeping your cooling can on your near side of the anvil. You don't have to reach over the hot iron to cool your punch. I've been there, yes. Nice work.

    • @AxeAndAnvil
      @AxeAndAnvil  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks. No room on the anvil stump on the near side- and eventually there won't be anywhere on it. I have been meaning to make a can that clips on the anvil strapping, just haven't gotten to it. Not a big enough problem to bother me.

    Nice work ,a fine workshop and good strikers. Just one remark? When you cut you have to finish the cut by lifting the shisel so to make sure you do not finish abruptly or your fleur -de-lis could snap of. Kind regards from Belgium Blacksmith Filip Ponseele- Knesselare

    Are these hinges easier than the barrel hinge

    • @AxeAndAnvil
      @AxeAndAnvil  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not sure I understand- the socket in the strap on these is also called a barrel. Do you mean like a jointed hinge that has knuckles from both sides that are cut together? In that case I’d say yes.

  • @Carterironworks

      I don't either- but they are worth every penny- especially the Sonn book. I found a copy for $40 a while back, and Abebooks has it for $65 right now. It is a HUGE book. The Plummer book is definitely pricey at $215- my copy was given to me.
