Doug Webster Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Very helpful. I need more tools. I appreciate you forging this vs stock removal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbert McCann Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Thank you for the well done video I enjoyed it. I like the first dies you use for the back side of the bolster looks like they get you off to a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Alex Dorris Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I also like the tool you initially use to forge in the bolsters. What's that called exactly? I'd like to do some research and maybe build one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to do some research and maybe build one I think it's called a blacksmith helper. You could do the same thing with a spring fuller. That's how I used to forge them before.

People who say stuff can't be done need to git the hell outta the way of people who do stuff !!! Show me a man who is called an expert by his peers And I will show you a good man to listen to ......

Dick Sexstone Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I was away from the forum for a many years so I’m slowly going thru the backlog of what has piled up since….Really good video Niels ,I especially got a laugh out of your patience comments at the end ….I also like the flatter with the tapered back you used in the power hammer…. I’m going to make myself one of those…. Thanks….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Provos Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 Thank you, Dick! This is still my go to project for people who want to spend a day at the forge with me.
