Hey Fellows! Today I practiced for making a candle holder that I have in my mind. I made a cross inspired by the cross type explosions from Neon Genesis Evangelion. Two tapered bars, slot punched, drifted and riveted together with a 12mm square rivet. Then placed on a wooden log. Here again with more light from the front: I hope you like it! Yours - Daniel

Daniel Lea (AKA 99pppo) replied to Daniel Lea (AKA 99pppo)'s topic in Spears, Arrows, Pole arms, Mace/hammer etc.Thank you Frosty! Yesterday I made a video about a european arrow head: http://www.iforgeiron.com/topic/31505-video-forging-a-european-arrow-head/. These tanged ones are much harder to make than the socketed ones so a video about them will follow soon, but not immediatelly.

Hey fellows! This is me forging a European style socketed shorter bodkin arrow head for target practice. I was making these arrow heads for my own needs because I am building some arrows at the moment. In the end of the video you can see some other heads alongside with the one I forged, inter alia also a Manchurian style tanged arrow head about which I am soon going to make a tutorial video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=TiouujzZ2ws This video is more of artistic nature, but I show all steps, so it also services as tutorial as well. You can also see a picture of the arrrow heads I made along with the one in the video as an attachment to this post. Your - Daniel

Hey fellows, another video of Alec and me, this time forging a 1 1/2 inch fuller. This fuller was forged to finish mainly with techniques of Brian Brazeals teaching. This fuller already served me very well with my current projects! I was directing and Alec struck for me, while navigating me through the different steps, so I learned how to direct this tool. I hope you enjoy the video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=2ShMHn_ofV0 Please take to note that I waived to use any rendered effects or fancy transitions in this video and it is basically a raw cut of all heats we recorded. You can see the fuller on the left hand side: Yours - Daniel

Hey fellows! Here I am forging an edge tool together with Alec Steele while I was visiting him at his place in North Norfolk, England, United Kingdom. The tool was forged to finish from a piece of car axle. I directed while he struck for me; instructing how to make it at the same time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo6wTWRvbnM&feature=youtu.be Yours - Daniel

Hey fellows, here you have a little sketching about how to forge a Qing target arrow head used in traditional manchu archery. A video in which I will show the technique put into practice will follow soon. I have to admit I am a better smith than an illustrator ;-). Yours - Daniel

Daniel Lea (AKA 99pppo) replied to Daniel Lea (AKA 99pppo)'s topic in Spears, Arrows, Pole arms, Mace/hammer etc.I am glad that you like my little guide. As soon as the weather allows it I will show these steps put into practice in a video.

Hello. And a merry christmas from Germany! Yesterday I was in my forge again :) - finally after two weeks of no forging :( - and completed my pair of tongs and a bottom swage with help of the new tongs. The tongs are based on Toby Hickman´s way of making them, that was adopted by TechnicusJoe for hand hammering and welding on the rains in this video of him. The jaws, the arch and the boss are forged out of 20x10mm (0,8"x0,4") flat bar mild steel and the rains are forgewelded on 10mm (0,4") round mild steel. The bottom swage is forged out of 40mm (1 1/2") cold rolled 1045 tool steel quare stock. You all have a good day! Yours - Daniel

Daniel Lea (AKA 99pppo) replied to Daniel Lea (AKA 99pppo)'s topic in Blacksmithing, General DiscussionThank you beth I am really motivated to keep up my work since so many people seem to enjoy what I do. When I can already pass on that very little knowledge and experience I gathered in the year I am forging yet to people that are keen to learn and interested in the craft it really fills me with joy.

Daniel Lea (AKA 99pppo) replied to Daniel Lea (AKA 99pppo)'s topic in Blacksmithing, General DiscussionFor anybody that wants to know how to make the punch for the eyes of the rams head I made this little tutorial: http://www.iforgeiron.com/topic/30595-video-tutorial-how-to-forge-an-eye-punch/
-
Daniel Lea (AKA 99pppo) replied to Daniel Lea (AKA 99pppo)'s topic in Slitters, Punches, Drifts, etcHey! That rams head already looks pretty nice! I hope you´ll now be able to finish it. Also make sure to round of the tip of the face where the mouth and the nostrals are going to be, because at the moment you have a little bit of lipping there. Keep on!
