  • A specialty anvil for making hand files. The top layer is tin to protect the file teeth. *I will use this anvil in a future video for those asking. More in a bit.

    Rigoni Ironworks and Torbjorn Ahman make the best looking tooling on TH-cam hands down. It’s a long stretch but a collab video would be epic.

      It's an 'anvil' with a soft metal face i think it was tin but I have no idea, it is used to chisel the teeth on a handmade file, because once you have chiseled one side, you will need a very soft surface to put the freshly cut teeth of if you want to be able to cut teeth on the other side, without running the teeth on the first side, both must be done while the steel is in its soft (annealed) state and it would be very easy to ruin the teeth on the bottom. I'm honestly surprised this works and they didn't use wax or pitch like chasers and engravers

      Did you find something regarding the angles of the chisels? I've tried but found nothing about that in german sources as well as in english. There were some books about the topic but postage to Europe is very expensive 😅

    How do you make an anvil?
    First, heat up the steel. Then, put it on your anv- . . . Hmm. It seems we have a minor logistical problem here.

  • @williamsforge6263
    @williamsforge6263 ปีที่แล้ว

    I respect your style of forging. I do have a question. Why are you so reliant on using stops or special forms to draw out material? "On your power hammer." I've never seen you draw anything free hand with a hammer or power hammer. Love your work. Just wondering. Lol

    • @rigoniironworks
      @rigoniironworks  ปีที่แล้ว +6

      No worries, freehand forging is fine for certain applications, and you would think it's faster, but it isn't. Having to forge down, then switch to calipers and carefully measure bar thickness over a long span is silly. I build tooling so I can forge full force on the power hammer to move it as fast as possible, knowing I won't be able to over forge and ruin the work. Another thing to consider is the rougher the forging, the more file/grinding you have to do afterwords.

    Great design, and I can't wait to see it used. It's always fascinating, to me, to see the tools from the old pros back in the day who were making files for a living. How they cobbled things together, and added little tweaks to make it more functional, is just impossible to learn without the old souls there to explain the intricacies. th-cam.com/video/FB58hkncznI/w-d-xo.html

      What metal was added? It looked like silver but I have no idea why that would be useful for file cutting. Aluminum is another metal I could see maybe melting like that but, though not as soft as silver, also not hard.

      Tin. My first test was with lead, but after enough people warned me of the health hazards, I switched to tin.

    Tsk tsk. I'll fitting tongs under the power hammer. Obviously you were well clear. But with the reins that wide open it's a big shock to all the muscles and tendons in the hands, forearms, and elbows. For all the tools in the shop you can't buy back your arms once they're worn out.
