Forging a Colonial Axe

Jon, Very Nice! Thank you for the video! D -
Saw your post on a previous question and thought I would ask a question. Just returned from up north with Champion 400. I thought it had water and was frozen but apparently there is more to the problem. How do I disassemble the gear box. It appears as though the shaft that drives the fan is not operating. Thanks for any info or pics.

How to add a horn to this ASO

Jim, I'll be sending that last hold down to the R&D dept...Ripoff and Duplicate! Good idea. D -
J, Thanks for the info. And very nice hammer! Those heavy chunks of 4140 do kick the scale off. I spent the last few hours forging 1.5" 4140 by hand in to a long hammer eye drift. Lots of scale there too! However, many was time I was wishing to trade my 7pound hand hammer for the 300lb self contained Chambersburg that's going into my new shop, which is still a ways from being complete! You can't beat those big hammers! Oh well, builds character and muscle! D

J What size hammer is that? And brand? D

Ernie, They have lots of uses, if you have the means to cut them into what you desire. Striking anvils, regula anvil, a floor mounted upsetting block for the bigger, longer pieces. Hardy mounted block fuller...all sorts of hardy tools, swages, etc. The possibilities are endless. With a torch and welder there's not much you can't do with them. Definitely worth your time I'd say.

Ethan, Super work! I wish I had started so young! You are a true Smith in mind and heart. It is enlightening to bear witness to your passion for the trade. It reminds me. Thanks for the vid. D

Ivan, Nice hammer! I like the handle, have to spend a few hours with it to see how it feels. But very nice. My handles are much more boring....I hear ya about the touch mark, I've never gotten around to it either. Maybe one day. I like the heavier forging too much to stop and try to make one. Beautiful work, me dig... D

All vegetable oils are organic hydrocarbons... D Yes. Any plant-sourced oil such as olive, corn, soybean and flax can be used industrially to make lubricants, oils, fuel, soaps, paints, plastics, cosmetics or inks. In fact, any organic hydrocarbon (including ALL vegetable oils) can be processed and denatured to make industrial chemicals. Proteins in milk can be used to make glue. Wheat and canola can be used to make ethanol, and canola seed can be used to produce biodiesel.

Ethan, Super nice work on the hammers! Let me know when you are up for that 8 pounder! D

B, That looks like a fine little Columbian post vise. What are the jaws 4, 4.5"? Nice vice. I have a 6" that I use daily. Good pick up. D

I think it's really cool. Very nice. D
