Dirty Smith ep 31 Part 2: Forging and Heat treating a cold chisel
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ต.ค. 2024
- Rory, Dirty Smith, demonstrates the concept of heat treating and the theory of a progressive heat treat. The warnings, cautions and advice. Then we forge, normalize, oil harden and temper a piece of "Sucker Rod" which comes in a similar alloy to 4140 or 4340. Go over how to tell if it's hard using a file. We also touch on the "heat to non-magnetic and oil quench" theory and reasons why it is faulty.
Have something to say? Now is the time! Stay, sub and enjoy!

Nice work buddy. Can't believe I've been watching your videos for ages and didn't realise I wasn't subscribed anymore 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
The best explanation of heat treating I've seen.
I am a black smith and I believe this is one of the best forging channels keep up the good work
Thanks! I appreciate the support and feedback 👊
Hi Rory, thanks for making this video . I really appreciate the time you take to explain and also the awesome demonstrations in all your videos. This has to be the best video on TH-cam that explains tempering tool steel . I look forward to all your videos so please keep up the good work and keep it dirty!!!
Just finished binge watching all the videos. Love the videos, instruction, jokes etc. Music is great and I, for one have learned a lot. I belong to a local group and I go to get some forge time when I can. Thanks for the info and for keeping it clean. I wouldn't change a thing, the audio is a little off in places but you'll get it figured out. Much appreciated. It's Chisel, by the way.
This 2 parter has helped me a lot. Here I thought you could do all steels the magnet way.
Really interesting stuff.
This is the first time I see your videos mate. I must say that I'm impressed. Your opening scene is special. It seems to me that we have the same taste for beer. Keep it rolling mate. Greetings from Norway.
Hmm I found this video very informative. One of my friends works in the oilfield and said he is going to get me some scraps / cutoffs from work. They are some super secret formula used by one of the major oil companies in pipes, so the exact makeup of it is going to be unknown. He wants me to make some sort of knife or just something really cool with it.
The suggestions of doing tests on it is great, I hadn't thought about that, I will have to get him to send me 4-6 pieces so I have some test subjects.
Sub'd! Great Work!
EXCELLENT!!!!! This is by far the best video I have ever seen on heat treating and it is a video that I will refer back to every time I heat treat heat. Keep up the good work and "Keep the Guinness flowing"
Nicely Done Rory!
Much prefer the longer vids myself. Luckily i dont have an attention span of a wombat.
Thanks for watching!
Hi there!
Is this not a 'dirty' movie, Rory? ;) Nice one, man!
Cheers!
Really nice and well produced videos! And you can talk while you work, that's a bonus as well :) Could you talk a little about your tools and how to maintain them, including the anvil, if it needs anything.
just found your video and subscribed, brilliant video and so much advice, much appreciated sir
Ammo cans are great cheap sealable buckets! Also if you do fubar and catch the oil on fire you can close it with the metal lid and snuff it out
Just a note about Vermiculite, when you purchase vermiculite make sure your source material is from a reputable supplier. DO NOT USE VERMICULITE FROM AN OLD HOUSE INSULATION. These Vermiculite sources commenly were contaminated with Asbestos and or Radio active material. If you have an old house and you see Vermiculite insulation, do not disturb that insulation.
excellent, very informative as always! thank you!
Welcome and thanks!
Wow amazing channel, i just found it and cant stop watching :D gj there i learn a lot! Keep the good job
Thanks for this one. Really appreciate the information.
cheers mate another great vid.
Thanks!
My oil bucket is a military ammo box, that way if the oil happens to catch on fire I can just slam the lid shut and smother it out.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Welcome! Thanks for watching
brilliant explanation nice one
Thanks!
thank you, that was very helpful !!
You're welcome!
Great job Dirty
Can this process be used to make gravers and at what temper color would you recommend for such a tool? maybe a straw color on accout the graver would need to be harder than the metals it is being used on. Right?
Thanks, Martin Moldovan
Hey Rory - why do the harden multiple times? I thought you only got one shot at the oil quench, and maybe could normalize it back to try again. does the multiple hardens apply to all steel or just tool steel? should i do multiple oil quenches on my knives and axes? any thoughts on tempering in an oven, heard lots about it, never tried it.
Excellent tutorial! Can't wait to try this. I like the 2 part format. I had seen someone harden a punch at a demo before. they did it by heating up the end, maybe an inch or so, then quenching the tip and let the residual heat (colors) run back into the tip. Would there be any difference in the end result between that way and the way you did it here? Just curious. Thanks again for sharing the knowledge.👍
IMO no that's fine and efficient. But I would not expect someone learning to be able to do that, thus the breakdown of application and techniques.
+Rory May (Dirty Smith) I got ya. Thanks for the reply.👍
I was forging a railroad clip last weekend and it hopped off the anvil and dived into my plastic 5 gallon bucket I have had for a long time to water quench stuff/to wet coals..etc and the metal was so hot it burned a small hole at the bottom.At first I thought it was so hot that it evaporated the water,so I refilled it and it drained out again :( SHUM MAH MAH BISHHHHH!
you rock man!
You rock! 👊
+Rory May (Dirty Smith)👊
love the videos watched all episodes in like 3 days love them, you're awesome. got a question so you can smash a beer lol but what are pros and cons to gas vs coal?
Pros con of different forges? That could be a show in its self!
+Rory May (Dirty Smith) you should definitely do one then I'd love to see that
Right on
Rory,do you stand at your anvil like in the videos or is that for filming, folks I noticed stand to the right of the bick if right handed, thanks for the videos
Yeah what you see if how I forge. Easier to move a camera than the equipment lol
Anyone know what's a good thickness for a chisel? Is it 25mm in this video?
I am only upset about magnets because how do they work??
hi Rory this may be a bit off subject but I was wanting to my vids my self but don't know what kind off editing software to use I was wondering what you use if you could help me I would greatly appreciate it
thanks, bryan
any non linear software really. There are free ones like imovie for mac and movie maker for windows. Record the best quality you can. The more work you do in preproduction helps in post production.
Very helpful than you 👍👍👍👍
I read "gold"...
Vas a forjar o vas a platicar ca.........on!!!
Can you do a tutorial on forging a ring?
Like jewelry or just a ring?
I guess anything will do. After I commented that, I thought of a video on making a hand made anvil. I can never find an anvil that's just right for me without paying an arm and a leg for it. It seems like the newer ones don't have the right holes or the horn is too thick at the end. If you don't understand me, let me know because I'm new to this lol
+Rory May (Dirty Smith) idk if you seen this or not.
axle just does not seem impressed
He never is! Gah
I will beat you like a step Anvil!!
Dan Murphy who?
money shot Hahaha.
