JHCC Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Three hardy tools from jackhammer bits. Not happy with the leafing stake on the left, but I plan to reforge it to match the one Aislinn Lewis and Mark Sperry were using at Quad-State.

Yes it was, probably worked a lot harder and burned more gas than I should. Guess a self taught education costs you in sweat and money. Seen your videos and subscribed. Take care and thanks again.

Will be firing up the grinder the next go around. Take care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And done: Mark has recommended that I round the edges a bit more, but otherwise both he and Aislinn have given their vote of approval.

jlpservicesinc Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 So here is the the latest forging in the form of a Hot cut for the Refflinghaus.. Shes 5160 and mild steel. the toes are mild. The photo of the shorter one in front of the new one is for comparison of 30 years of wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlpservicesinc Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 OC, If it ain't working sometimes ya just gotta change gears.. With that new hammer and forge you have going you can start with monster stock and your arm won't get tired at all.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris C Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Naw, I don't believe it! That was drop forged in a foundry, Jennifer! The work you do is so perfect looking it's hard to believe it's made by hammer and hand. Really spectacular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlpservicesinc Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 All it takes is a little bit of file work.. Just doing a little filing hides all sorts of sins.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyGoatLady Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Filing has saved a lot of my work from looking mediocre to just that next level. I used to hate it, but now I quite enjoy it. But your work looks good even without it Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlpservicesinc Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 Thats kind of you to say.. I was just going over the list of things I have made in the last year.. I can only think of 3 things I have made that I have not filed.. Forge clean, files fast to finish.. Forged harshly, files slowly to finish. the work you produce inspires.. There are some pretty good newer smiths I find inspiration from.. Really helps me to up my game. BillyBones last Heart hook was one such item. anyhooo, there are a bunch of you guys..
