Nice clean work John!. Don't know where you live, but it's great to have wooded land to explore. I have 16 acres of woodland on my land with a beautiful creek running through it. Peaceful to just go air and listen to the water running over the rocks.
I enjoi your work and I have a small suggestion. Make a small round or square iron logo, then heat it and stamp/impress on the wood handles. It's a 30 seconds job but gives an extra touch in the final design 👍🏽
I'm more of a woodworker myself but I appreciate the excellent craftsmanship. I was just waiting for him to cut the handle flush and hammer in an oak wedge.
After watching several of your videos, I wonder how those wood handles stay in place long term. It looks like they are just tapped into place. Once you actually start using these tools, how do the handles not work themselves loose?
When in use with a striker the handle needs to be "flexible". If it was wedged it could crack/break. And yes, it will need to be driven tight in between heats if loose.
Actually yes there is. Brian Brazeal makes them. I did one as well. It is a top tool used with a drift in the eye of top tools. When releasing the tool from the drift, or when forming the faces of a fuller for making fuller troughs in hammers, it forges the struck end of the top tool to a slightly rounded shape. Or relieves the edges of the struck end. Easier to forge that shape in than to have to grind it in. Also being forged it gives the struck end more life than grinding it.
Great stuff. Does the handle not require any further securing by way of a wedge? Also, I'm trying to understand why the annealing step happens after hardening, and not the other way around. Apologies for my ignorance, but I'm learning a lot by watching your videos!
Thanks, this is 4140/medium carbon, oil quench to harden. I then heat the part to slightly soften/temper it. This reduces hardness, gaining toughness and strength.
@@rigoniironworks - Thank you. I'm hopelessly addicted to these videos of yours. Your craftsmanship is obvious, but I also admire how orderly you keep your workspace.
Your monosteel projects are beautiful. But what about Damascus? I know it's a lot more work, but I think it would be really interesting. (Also, I like how you took a break to go birdwatching and it's part of the video.)
Ha, nope. Marines 99-03, then college/classical studies. Now I'm a fireman and run my shop. I watched my Dad as a kid work a metal lathe/do woodwork, so always been around machinery.
The best part of the video was the whole video. Gorgeous property too.

Awesome shop, clean and organized, one can only dream...
👍👍👍👍
Of course is clean … this is not a forge, it’s a normal iron factory with modern machines.
Nothing is really handmade
You do beautiful work. Very much enjoy watching you do what you do.
Thank you for sharing.
From Missouri
I like the go for a walk Segway. Sometimes I forget about nature and how important it is to get out of the shop etc.
I'm more of a woodworker myself but I appreciate the excellent craftsmanship. I was just waiting for him to cut the handle flush and hammer in an oak wedge.
top tools are usually left loose on the handle
Again... beautiful work sir!! You and your channel are inspirational and a great asset to the blacksmithing community on TH-cam!!
No way , new and new video. That insane. Blacksmith tool marathon.
Thanks a lot for another peak in your work , Master 🥰🙏

*These are top tools. Hammers of course need to have wedges.
Clean work as always
Really enjoying watching the tool rack getting filled out! I need to do a bit of my own preemptive tool making
U have some beautiful property... was that a big wood duck box u were looking at from a distance?
owl box
Kestrel or wood duck house? Love the smilax along the trail. The smithin' was nice as well.
Приятно смотреть ! Профессионально. Спасибо я взял на заметку инструмент на заднем плане .
Спасибо! Это лучший канал по кузнечному мастерству.

Pure and clean!
Beautiful
Sheer perfection 👌🏻
а расклинить рукоять молотка ? после трёх ударов молоток слетит.
Good in every way 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What kind off style you use to make that hamer ? # ? Pls.
That's nice detail work . Trick .👍
يطرب صوت الصناعة صوت الآلات يطرب اكثر من ام كلثوم
I'm ignorant, how does the head stay on after the first swing?
Is there such a thing as a concave fuller?
haha, prob not. I needed the tool/shape and couldn't find a similar one online. Basically, a rounding hammer you can hit.
Actually yes there is.
Brian Brazeal makes them.

Regarding the wedge, I believe this a tool that will be struck and not swung so it probably doesn’t need to be wedged.
Can we get a shop tour?
So why didn't you put a wedge in it??
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thanks, it's a top tool, no wedge. Hammers get wedges.
Hi, rigoni sei italiano per caso?
Where do you Have buy the power hammer?
Sahinler, Turkish hammer.
Your monosteel projects are beautiful.
But what about Damascus? I know it's a lot more work, but I think it would be really interesting.
(Also, I like how you took a break to go birdwatching and it's part of the video.)
Man, I would but this forge doesn't seem to get hot enough. I need to build a new forge to handle forge welded projects.
Спасибо. Посмотрел с удовольствием.
Ya hay en el canal alguien que hace sin copiar
A smith from Sweden,I think,does similar video work when he anneals or soaks his steel...
Just beautiful as always I'm being to Think you are a master what you do.

My daughter and I have a bet, I think he was an engineer and she thinks he was a pilot? Anyone now his occupation before blacksmithing?
Ha, nope. Marines 99-03, then college/classical studies. Now I'm a fireman and run my shop. I watched my Dad as a kid work a metal lathe/do woodwork, so always been around machinery.
@@rigoniironworks your attention to detail and workshop organization makes sense now. We were way off dang losing my touch.
