October 19, 201411 yr Hello. I just made a new video to encourage and inspire you all to forge your own tools! This is one way you can forge a flatter.
October 19, 201411 yr that is a very nice video I did notice that a few times you were trying to punch and drift and the metal was not hot enough. I found in making one that it was easier to slit the eye hole first then shape the head and go back and drift the eye.
October 19, 201411 yr Haha, I just finished watching this on youtube; I am one of your subscribers so it was in me feed. In fact it made me think 'hey, I better go check out new stuff on iforgeiron'. Very nice video though, I love the production of tools. Thanks for taking the time and making such high quality media!
October 20, 201411 yr Author Thanks! Yes Francis, I might have been a little over optimistic when drifting. It's easy to get carried away :) Slitting the eye first is an option, but you have to close it up quite a bit to make it fit the swage I assume. Might think of that next time...
October 21, 201411 yr I really like you tool to fit in the swedge block. Gives the edge of the flatter a great finish
October 22, 201411 yr Nice work as always. As I've said in the past I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Keep them coming. All the best Andy
