I have nothing to write, you better see a movie

very nice !

I like to see that kind of work.

Thanks for the video, And ruffly how much would you charge for a pair of those hinges?

Tom,

Nice work! I thought Id mention that the link to your website doesn't look to be working not sure if you're aware of care, but wanted to bring it to your attention.

:ph34r:

Thanks Jeff.
I closed my server because google banned pagerank of my website. I wait half a year, maybe longer, and I'll try again :)

Dave, make two sets took me 3 hours. And the price is the secret of my customer and me.

Tom,

It looks like your hammer is very different from a typical cross pein. Maybe it's the angle of the camera but it looks like the pein is almost double the distance from the handle as the hammer's face. I can't think of another one I've seen like it.

Well you see, I made this hammer for forging the blades.

I made also the second hammer with standard parameters, only it's too heavy for forging hinges.

I'll try soon to post some video with that hammer in the lead role :)

Tom,

Thanks for posting your video. Making hinges interests me, as I would like to learn to make hardware for furniture.

I'm a complete novice so forgive me if this is a super basic question, but can you tell me what you're doing right around 7:00 to 7:15 into the video? It looks like you're trying to thin the metal right at the edges of the hinge...is that correct?

Thanks,

Jeff

I stretched metal towards the sides so that was enough it for the "ears". Look out for shape of the hinge on the last photos. I started forging sheet metal of size 1and 1/2 x 6 x 3/16 inches. Total quantity hinge 2 and 1/4 x 12 inches.

Thanks for the explanation, Tom.
