JHCC Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 We already have a collection of blacksmithing links on YouTube, but that page connects with YT pages that are devoted entirely (or mostly, anyway) to blacksmithing. This page is for links to individual blacksmithing videos that live on pages not so devoted. (As these are off-site links, some may contain inappropriate language. Please add links to other orphan videos in the comments; staff will attempt to keep this updated, as they are able.) "Le ferronnier" from Télé Dobbitt (in French). A smith at an open-air museum in northern France makes shutter hinges. A short interview with Francis Whitaker courtesy of the NEA. Nail making and ox shoe smithing -- Swedish smiths in the 1920s. Pioneer Axe -- 1965 footage of an old-school axe factory in Maine, shortly before it closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's something I've seen suggested here numerous times and think is definitely worth pointing out again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaughnT Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 A short vid on building a treadle hammer with a sledge. I see a lot of problems with the design, but it was still a fun build to watch and there are things to learn. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJbzjQ75FWc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I'd suggest changing a few things: I'd have made the throw adjustable to allow for use of tooling. Very simple to do. [turn buckle or even nesting tubing with multiple holes drilled in it and a bolt to set the length. I would also not have welded the sledge head without proper pre/post heat Finally the treadle looked way too high---his knee had to go too high for stability, which is a safety factor when you are working hot iron!
