  1. Thanks for guys tips.I did this. I unscrew old valve in school that are need to be dissasembled.And it need a litle bit force.Some guys don't have feeling and get bolt busted.The bolt was made from brass.It is really fragile material.
  2. Thanks for answer i think i heard that this work for bolts and screws.
  3. I heard old folks used to said, if thread is rusty and you can't unscrew screws.To hit a with hammer on handle of hardriver.I dont know is this true or false.
  4. Good look like quality screwdriver.Not like in these days screwdrrivers. With these day fi try to unscrew thread.I will a and up with mesing head of crew or screwdriver will get dull form trying and trying to unscrew thread.Old people use to said if screw is rusty and can't be unscrewd use hammer and it somekind get loose i dont know is this true.
  5. These are not my be . I skip a litle bit here you have an whole link.https://picasaweb.google.com/timmes2/Blasebalge#5727525884868805122 llows ifind in on internet.
  6. You are welcome.Its sadly to said in my country some old trade die.Like coopersmith or shoesmaker.And there are only two blacksmith around my city and in my vilage.The ussualy blacksmith is craft wich so earn from father.In my vilage there was 4 blacksmiths.Two brother now who had 2 sons.I heard that blacksmith had a lot's of work in past 20 century they had to make carroge wheels horshoeing.Now they just reapair some axe or sharpen it.
  7. Exelent art sclupture made from scrap iron.Watch i hear that kangaroo can kick :D
  8. There is book basic blacksmithig.You can sae and Goat bellows.Its basicly gota skin bellows.Do you have somekind airtight material. for begining i will try to make two signle lung bellows.I woud't recomend Double lung bellows. They are heavy hard able to move, like my in avatar.Parts of bellows are base board (where nozzle go and flap) if you are making single lung bellows you need two pair.I try with one pair of fireplace bellows you can heat a iron like rod 8mm(2/7 inch).The problem with one pair bellows is it will suck fire.For begining try to make two twins bellows.They need to be like 2 foot wide 3 feet long.There are a lot's of video i will show you at least five examples . This first is double lung bellows.
  9. Yes i noticed in blacksmith shiop a lot's of pipe flat rods etc.
  10. How this board was glued it look to me that wood was rotated 180 degrees?
  11. Hello from Bosnia and Herzegovina its good feeling to know you can make something on your own without buying it.I make tool handles istead of buying chienese bad quality one .And i reliased might i can make tool steel (head) and iam at i forge iron form.It was my first forum.I find here a lot's of iformations.
  12. You are welcome its pleasure to share adn learn now things.
  13. I was thinking that it will make carbon procent bigger but man learn as he live.So can old sycthe blade use for somehing.I have it i was thinking if not folding steel can Toe of sycthe blade could be made in somkind blade.
  14. i hope it's not too late but that yours bellows remind me of these kind
  15. i heard that from some people old sycthe blade can be used to make drwknife.I was tought what in world.Migt that is true about sycthe but i guess while doing procesing it will need some foldig and forge welding.
  16. Yes i get it tools are not decorations.Eaven when you sharpen it with file it will wear of.
  17. Lol i have some of tools from my gradfather that i use to said it's grandfather but when you change hadle it use it "spirit" like it use to be.But never tryed with repleacing head i guess i shoud try that too ;) might that bring "spirit" of tool back.
  18. Thank you for answer i check this book oneline it have a huge informations.About blacksmtih bellows a litle bit a woodworking.Tools i am ot sure how this book have pages but its a realy bigg book. http://www.scribd.com/doc/53481411/De-Re-Metallica-1556-Agricola
  19. To me its conffusing because they said this is from mediveal time might at Ottoman empire i dont know or its Ausrian-Hungary wich is not that important.But i ask myself when firs fan apeard in history.This fans are just like today blowers but they use only water power. This one is still workig like shop itself.They melt iron here too. I think they make living with this craft and its village the working on farm agrocultural and these job culd make life better considering rate of unemployment in BIH 60% i think these are reasons why it is not closed like shop and maked mousem out of this place these modern day.
  20. I went to blacksmith for advice to make drawknife and he said i need a car leaf spring steel.
  21. Thank you for video this include also farrier job. It is very funny at begining.I was thinking something is wrong with my sound.But considering this is recorded at 1922 year.My grandfather wasn't born at that year its good video.iT is interesting in this wideo that this folk allways get out form trouble.
