Blacksmithing - Forging a Hot cut Hardy/Hardie Tool For the anvil

BLACKSMITHING - FORGING A HARDY / HARDIE CUT OFF TOOL ON THE POWER HAMMER

USING THE POWER HAMMER WE FORGE A CUT OFF TOOL FOR THE ANVIL HARDY/HARDIE HOLE.


0:42 FIRST WE FULLER IN TO ISOLATE MATERIAL. YOU CAN DO THIS WITH A STRIKER OR ALONE IN THE SAME WAY.



02:30 THEN FORGE OUT TO FIT THE HARDY/HARDIE HOLE, THEN UPSET SO IT SITS FLAT TO THE ANVIL.


05:54 THEN WE FULLER AGAIN TO CREATE A LIP, YOU DONT HAVE TO DO THIS, ITS JUST FOR LOOKING NICE.


09:25 USING A FULLER AGAIN WE PUSH THE MATERIAL DOWN AND SPREAD OUT FOR SUPPORT ON THE EDGE OF THE HARDY TOOL THAT MEETS THE ANVIL FOR STABILITY.



11:30 FORGE OUT A TAPER,



16:38 THEN SHARPEN IT TO 60 DEGREES FOR A HOT CUT, 30 DEGREES FOR A COLD CUT.



16:54 THEN CLEAN UP, IT DOESNT NEED HARDENING. BUT YOU CAN HARDEN IT BUT TAKE THE CORNERS OFF THE BASE TO STOP IT MARKING THE ANVIL.



HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS DEMONSTRATION.
