VaughnT Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 From the same wonderful folks that brought us the Notre Dame hinges..... I really enjoy seeing how all the parts and pieces come together, and it's amazing easy to break down the entire wagon so it could fit on a ship or such. The part that boggles my mind is that they call this a "peasant" wagon. While I certainly appreciate the decorative work, I would never have thought a peasant could afford all that nice ironwork. The little details really stand out, and it's nice to see traditional skills being applied in a functional way. Two things that caught my eye... The hardened and tempered cold chisel hardy; never really thought about making one, but now I want one! And the mild steel they're using - seeing how neatly it breaks makes me wonder what the alloy is and how it's different from the mild steel we use here in the States. A couple hours of good blacksmithing entertainment..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcQ9LQbflIc&index=27&list=PLQaWhntNNy3Qi3gMjnY9P31uKa8fruvFF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Short, specific to the project, videos. Very well done and informative. After watching a couple of the videos, you forget he is not speaking in English and start watching the video in blacksmith. (grin) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 "in blacksmith" HA! Perfect way of putting it! I usually keep the sound down real low since I can't understand the talk, but never felt like I was missing something because, like you say, I'm fluent in blacksmith.

I See in Blacksmith! I found these videos easier to watch muted. Still after a little while my eyes turn my hearing off and I watch in Blacksmith. Heck I even learned a little German! Thank you Glenn, lovely term. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Probably my favorite "episode" so far..... While there's not much call for wagon parts nowadays, I could easily see that clip being used to hold together a forge or anvil stand that you take to demonstrations. Or, refine it a little bit and turn it into a corkscrew. Maybe use it as a decorative element in a table, gate, railing..... Five minutes of good TV!

Lou L Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Thanks for the link. I subscribed so I can always be reminded to go back and get notifications of new videos. No language barrier for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Ling Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Or could use that technique for making a stake anvil, just on a larger scale, or at least that's what came to mind while watching. Littleblacksmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
