Daswulf Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Found this video today and it seemed interesting enough to post here. It's a guy making a pipe bellows kind of like a box bellows. Thought it might be interesting or helpful to some. Obviously there are some safety concerns in the video and some future improvements not shown. But a cool concept. Scraptechnic! Guy has some other interesting videos. Haven't watched more than three or so yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAG Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Das. Thanks: that's a great video. And a neat bellows. Very clever. Do you know where this gentleman is situated? SLAG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 I'm not sure where he resides. It is a brilliant idea, and with a little thought, could be a very good bellows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAG Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Daswulf, Allow me to hazard a guess. The video environs suggests one of the Island in the West Indies. Regards, and thanks for your reply. SLAG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 It seems like a possible area of origin. The resourceful ingenuity is the point. Could be anywhere. I like his anvil as well. It is shown in other videos. He made a nice fish trident spear in one video I saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anvil Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 He is sure right on to his dimensions with his cutting tools. I noticed his cross peen. Basically about half inch wide, flat cut and very slightly rounded with beveled edges. Thanks for the vid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I had to cringe when he used vernier calipers for a circle scribe but the rest was excellent. Two really good examples here: one, use what you have if you can't find better, the verniers (shudder) and Just because they're "called" box bellows doesn't mean they have to be square. Good link, thanks. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natkova Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 It's too much painfull to watch. Pumping 5 minutes for forging 5 seconds. He use it only when electricity is off. Good for starting in blacksmithing, but i wont recomend smithing with those all time. You can use garbage bags to heat matterial, but it is not permanent solution.
