Tubbe Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Hello. I just made a new video to encourage and inspire you all to forge your own tools! This is one way you can forge a flatter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Trez Cole Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 that is a very nice video I did notice that a few times you were trying to punch and drift and the metal was not hot enough. I found in making one that it was easier to slit the eye hole first then shape the head and go back and drift the eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero_sum Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Haha, I just finished watching this on youtube; I am one of your subscribers so it was in me feed. In fact it made me think 'hey, I better go check out new stuff on iforgeiron'. Very nice video though, I love the production of tools. Thanks for taking the time and making such high quality media!

Tubbe Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Thanks! Yes Francis, I might have been a little over optimistic when drifting. It's easy to get carried away :) Slitting the eye first is an option, but you have to close it up quite a bit to make it fit the swage I assume. Might think of that next time...

Francis Trez Cole Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I really like you tool to fit in the swedge block. Gives the edge of the flatter a great finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
