Below are 4 links to a technique session that Blacksmither radio is going to start producing. This one is Mark Aspery lecturing on how he forges a miner's candlestick. They are each about 20 mins long. I have watched the first one and it was pretty good.
One interesting note about the first video, Mark discusses tempering his hot chisel. I know that there has been a discussion or two at our meetings over whether or not to temper a tool for working hot. Mark has put it to the test and gives us his results. Take them or leave them, but I have yet to hear someone test it as he did. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTUlegCO89o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y01PfWTQ0Kk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mH42IohfhTE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-IkHjj8vSc Added 35 minutes later: If you receive the Hammer's Blow, Mark did a tutorial on how to forge these in the Winter 2015 issue. This might be a good supplement to that if you are wanting to forge one. I haven't read the issue to see how redundant it is, but I'm guessing he gives more info in the video. Perhaps one of these could be a forge item. Added 9 hours 8 minutes later: This link is a diagram of the one Francis Whitaker made. https://sites.google.com/site/aacblibrary/Vol11Num12MinersCandlestick.jpg This post was edited by ThomasABoucher (2015-09-22 06:48, ago) |

These videos are well worth the time. Lots of photos and explanation of what and why he's doing something. Thanks for bringing them to our attention.
