    that piece has great flow

    great stuff, i think we're missing a pic of the firebrick framework you mention
  3. Greenbeast
    Excellent work!

    i have a powered positive air pressure respirator, not only is the air taken from behind you (belt mounted filter/fan unit), it doesn't have to fit as well as the face masks because of the pressure.

    i think they come into their own for making other stuff personally, not necessarily smithing products, but making a new forge, vise stand, tool holders, etc...

    Might have to steal the idea of rivetted legs and arms for my next one, fast track indeed!

    I appreciate the sentiment of 'colonial' It's the period in time i had in mind when making it. thanks and yes i've heard it used as a humourously derogatory term for you lot over the water :P
  8. Greenbeast
    Thanks, it's a simple little thing really

    Been wanting to make, what i would call, old-fashioned, candle holder for some time now. Finally had a good way of assembling it and the right bits of materials, and more importantly, the right reason, a christmas present for my nan.

    great video, one that makes me want to light the forge and do one now!

    I make mine out at ~180bpm i don't know if i could change the configuration for a faster hit rate. http://s22.beta.photobucket.com/user/GreenBeast999/media/Blacksmithing/video-2012-12-09-15-12-59.mp4.html

    Excellent work
  13. Greenbeast
    yeah that is a good point

    My questions were actually because i've used a similar method but without the guide bar on some bottle holders recently. I like the idea of a more even, repeatable curve but perhaps i just need to apply more care in my pieces.
  15. Greenbeast
    fair enough!

    i assume you turn it to take it off the jig? Why the second stage of stretching it out, why not build the jig to the finish dimensions?

    double post

    Owen did you ever see a vid of the one i bought from Aly? I'll try to get new footage up this weekend, it's got a 14kg tup (i believe based on dimensions), and seems to run as fast as Murray's above. It's a leaf spring design, small foot print
  19. Greenbeast
    very nicely done

    one of the best things about this biz is being able to make our own stuff like that. nice one I'm currently forging up 4 window handles, catch plates, stay bars and star bar pins for my own cheap timber windows that my carpenter step dad is knocking up
  21. Greenbeast
    They are absolutely superb

    It seems almost incredible that someone can use a 4-5lb hammer for extended periods, i tend to use a 2lb ball pein mostly. I wonder if i'm missing out?
  23. Greenbeast
    this is exactly what i do. It took a while in coming but when i started letting the hammer bounce off the stock before a turn or for a split second thinking pause i found my arm got less tired.
  24. Greenbeast
    many thanks guys!

    There's a possible staircase handrail job on the horizon and i wondered if the sage members here might have some good tips for measuring up competently? There is a 90 turn ahead of the last 2-3 steps
