Gergely Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Cool video, John! Thanks for sharing. Couple questions: - Starting stock size: was it 1" x 1" square? - About the stoppers you use under the PH: are those made of mild steel r something else? Thank you for the answers! Best wishes: Gergely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Great video, John: well shot, well edited, and gives such a clear picture of the process and technique. Just a reminder to everyone else that there are links not only to John's channel but also to a number of other good ones at the "A collection of blacksmithing links on YouTube" thread.

JRigoni Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 Thanks everyone, the starting stock was 1 1/8" x 1 3/8" of annealed H13. The kiss blocks are mild steel I machined to the correct thickness. They have held up really well so far, so long as you stop forging after hitting them.

Francis Trez Cole Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 nice calculating stock to be used. I see that you use a cutting torch to heat small bends and rivets on some of your videos. careful you can get over oxidation in the process I like to use a brazing tip or a rose bud a little more forgiving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
