Eddie Mullins Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 After my first attempt at a guillotine tool '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>> I am back again for round 2. Using the first tool I did find the supports to be too tall, and the design to wide, as well as the dies not thick enough. The latest one uses taller, 1/2" thick dies. I also set the hardy stem on this one so that it sets at a 45 degree angle to the anvil. So far I have made flat fullering dies and small round tennon dies with 1/4, 5/16 and 3/8 inch swages.I have several others dies yet to make for this guillotine. A different version for larger stock may be in the cards later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawnJockey Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I have a heavy lug crimper: http://www.iboats.com/Heavy-Duty-Lug-Crimper/dm/view_id.38723 I never thought of using it for blacksmithing purposes but your photos got me thinking, always dangerous.

Oh yeah, those are handy tools for sure. Good thing somebody thought of using a blacksmith's tool for crimping lugs. Isn't it? <grin> Frosty The Lucky.
