Jonah k Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Just made this from scrap, seems to work pretty good and can be adjusted for different thicknesses of stock or pipe. I was going to try and make a bell from pipe and needed a proper fuller , I did not have the material for a guillotine fuller and it had to be able to handle different sizes of pipe. This is what I came up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave51B Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Nice Jonah... Hope you don't mind if I use your idea. One thing I have found on my spring fullers is, if I leave the top fuller a bit longer than the bottom, it helps to get the work piece between them when coming from the fire.

VaughnT Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Yep, that's getting stolen! I built an adjustable guillotine some time back and it didn't survive long. It wasn't very easily adjusted, either. Your design seems to fix all the problems I had and you can be sure its going to get borrowed. I have a few big 1" bolts, but don't know if I have a nut to fit. I'll have to do some searching..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anachronist58 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 VaughnT, if you have trouble finding 1"-8 nuts, or threaded rod, for that matter, I will mail you some. Or you could check MSC or McMaster. Great design Jonah k, and Dave51B makes a great point about adding a flip lip, whilst I am feeling a simple return spring from the hardie side.

Jonah k Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Thanks for all the compliments and feel free to use the design that's why I posted it. I used a 1 1/8" stud so it was bigger than the hardie hole and squared it and pounded it into the hole while hot so it fits snug and doesn't spin in the hole. If you use 1" rod you might have to add some metal so it doesn't spin in the hole. Also the Round bar anvils I welded on are made from the shank of a long grade 8 bolt , I have done this with quite a few of my tools seems to work well being a bit harder than the mild steel the rest of the jig is made from. 22 hours ago, Dave51B said: Nice Jonah...

Life is Good Dave Dave I think I will use your idea and add a little flip nipple on the end of the top lever that's a good idea. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reeltree Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Yep, I liked the concept also,,, made up a large and small one today,,cut the bolt head off ,, welded on a one inch shank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A really nice idea. I will start looking for a sufficiently thick screw. I would, however, add my hobby horse. I always force a hot square tube into the hardy hole and cut it off to use as a stem. If there alread is a stem i grind it to fit the tube stump and weld it in place. This locates the tool very securely but without any jamming.

rockstar.esq Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 That's a great idea and it keeps the weight down on the pivoting end which makes it more useful! I built a guillotine tool a while back and was surprised by how much harder I have to whack the top die to overcome it's inertia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHCC Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Just picked up a large-diameter bolt and some nuts; just need to cut some pieces out and get to welding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
