May 28, 201412 yr Hello. I'm Jesús Morcillo, "Morcy" I'm blacksmith from Spain This is my first post and video tutorial. In this video we learn to make a swage block. In this web page you can download the file for laser cutting http://laforjadevulcano.com/?page_id=343 I hope you like. Regards
May 28, 201412 yr Neat video. The swage block looks real good. Vídeo aseado. El bloque de estampación se ve muy bien.
May 28, 201412 yr Very nice presentation and a useful tool. Muy buena presentación y una herramienta útil.
May 29, 201412 yr Interesting. Here is a pic of one my Dad made at the community college welding shop. They had a CNC oxy torch. IIRC it was burned out of 2" thick plate. The smaller one was just a for fun exercise by scaling it down 50% in the program. The plan was to drill the smaller holes, but he never got around to it. Aquí está una foto de uno de mi papá hecho en el taller de soldadura colegio comunitario. Tenían un oxi antorcha CNC. IIRC se quemó fuera de "placa gruesa 2 La más pequeña era sólo por diversión y ejercicio, por su reducción del 50% en el programa:.. El plan era hacer los agujeros más pequeños, pero nunca llegó a hacerlo.
May 30, 201412 yr Welcome aboard Morcy, glad to have you. I haven't been able to do more than take a quick glance through your tutorial but it sure looks good. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of your work. Frosty The Lucky.
June 14, 201412 yr Very cool swage block. I never have that good of luck on my drill press if I don't clamp the work down.
July 17, 201412 yr Thanks Morcy,I copied your plan and had the local profile cutters cut one out of a one piece block 100mm through. They done a great job &cut very neatly with only some cleaning up to do,when i get it home from work i will post a photo of it. It is cut from mild steel,and will save the anvil from some heavy work that i have in mind. So thank you again Morcy ,well done.
August 11, 201411 yr Nice video and great concept. If I was going to do it I would add a small diameter pilot hole in the cutting file so I don't have to measure and mark out the bolt hole, just drill to size.
August 12, 201411 yr Nice block. This is inspiring. FlyingXS, that is a good idea. I might try a partial through hold for a plug weld, but this may warp the plates.
