Aljeter Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I just got a G2 guillotine tool from yesteryear forge. It came with a set of flat and fullering dies. I was wondering if some of you guys can give me some ideas on making other dies for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfootnampa Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Well another good general purpose die would be a set of butcher dies... could be used individually with a flat die as side sets or together to butcher tenons and the like.

FieryFurnace Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I used mild, cold rolled flat bar (3/4 x 2 3/4-inch,) to make the mass of my guilotene dies. I then cut deep weld grooves on each end, and weld a spring steel working end and a kisser blog on the hammered end. This seems to work very well for me.

Aljeter Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Thanks for the info. Now I just need to go get some bar stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
