1st BLACKSMITH PROJECT - PUNCH FROM COIL SPRING

[@johndondertman1502]

Getting the octagon shape even takes practice I’m definitely not there yet. Great looking tool.

Приезжайте в Калининград, поделюсь приемами ковки.

[@stephenwilliams1364]

This is exactly what I want to do! I’m a heavy equipment mechanic and I just got into blacksmithing Great job

Great work. Enjoyed your video.

[@jjppres]

Nice job! I've seen many punches made but the way you filmed this actually made it look like art. Makes me want to leave work and go home snd make another ounch.

[@jockejansson1413]

That's what I call a hammer with personality. Lovely

[@yepiratesworkshop7997]

Nice job!

[@dobbin0]

Awesome to watch... Beautiful tool

[@douglasfathers4848]

Very nice job Tim I have two coil springs about 3/4 inch round looking to make chisels and drifts and now punches . and mini tomahawks,

[@Bluegrass499]

Nice!

[@honakerblacksmithing]

I have made quite a few things out of coil spring. Good work.

[@grahammacbean4989]

Keep up the good work Tim! Making us Kootenay smiths proud. :)

[@TimothyDyck]

Graham! Would love to hear how you are doing! Thanks man!

[@br.finncollbuckley368]

I’ve never seen any other smiths polish a punch like that! Now that it’s been a few years, did you find it made a difference when in use?

[@joeymclaughlin1264]

New sub! Really like your vids. Very soothing to watch.

[@TimothyDyck]

Thank you! Really appreciate it!

[@sbjennings99]

Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls

[@DathanDroid]

Love working with 5160/4150 chrome , nickel alloy, great bio also in the description.keep up the great work and videos!

[@TimothyDyck]

Awesome! Thanks

[@jensdavidsen4557]

Can you please demonstrate forging a punch (round, square whatever) with a hexagonal handle/striking end? I can forge square, octagon, round no problem but forging a nicely proportioned hexagon with nothing but hammer and anvil...haven't gotten that one figured out. Keep up the great work Tim!

[@douglasfathers4848]

Hi tim got myself 2 good sized coil springs hoping to make some tools . so thanks for the lesson mate just hope I can do it some justice.

[@hughcupples1279]

Great video, love how your hammer triggers folks....

[@masv2101]

Thanks for the videos. your channel has already become one of my favorite blacksmith channels. Because you are one of the only ones that focuses on power hammer forging and not beninner techniques like all the other. (I know this one is) but it is still a good video :)

[@TimothyDyck]

Thank you!! Ya every once in awhile I have to throw in the one video were I don’t get to use the power hammer. 😜

[@Bent-rAgE-559]

Awsome

[@dougp4614]

Very nice and good camera work!

[@TimothyDyck]

Thank you!

[@johnmason2501]

Clean!

[@TimothyDyck]

Thank you!!

[@brianfalls5894]

Tim, nice job on the punch sir! I'm new to forging myself and I am looking forward to trying out making some tools of my own. One thing I did notice though is that your hammer is looking mighty used up. Looks like you need to dress it up some.

[@sjtaylor128]

Very Nice! Since I was recently a beginner I identified a couple things you might consider touching on in more detail. The first is how you avoided fish lipping on the end of your taper. The second is your choice of hand hammer. The first thing I noticed was the mushroomed hammer face. Let me know if you would like a hand forged Brazeal style hand hammer. I’d be glad to forge you one if you promise to use it in a couple of your videos. Again, nice job. Looking forward to more.

[@TimothyDyck]

Thanks man! I briefly talk about this hammer in my video titled Architectural fence build part 2. It’s basically just worn into how I swing my hammer. Quick tips for keeping fish lips away is keep the material hot and really use forceful blows while drawing down the tip. Hope it helps some. 😊

[@robarcher3892]

Nice job making a good looking tool. Do yourself a favor and fix your hammer. Get rid of the mushrooming and that split. Be safe.

[@bulldogg4]

I was just about to ask about that it looks kinda dangerous

[@OuroborosArmory]

I was about to say the exact same thing...

[@oldgoat8132]

How should the tip of these punches be? Are they supposed to be sharp like a spike or flat with live corners?

[@jaypearce6743]

Do you ever hammer any steel thats not heTed?

[@PatrikSkiffardFoto]

Reminds of the finger off of the T1000 from Terminator 2 😊

[@valsforge4318]

oooooh shiny!! Very nice. Ummm, did you ever find that first set of tongs?

[@comedykid101]

What is up with your hammer head? Why is it angled?

[@kellyroy8506]

Just curious. I’m a newbie to the blacksmithing and have been making some tools. I just made a 3/4” coil spring hole punch and just the forging part took me about 2 hours. Just for comparison how long did just the forging process take you to do this? I enjoy your Canadian made video’s. 🇨🇦

[@theotherorange3586]

Het Tim your hammer is getting worn out you should make a new one from titanium. 😉😂

[@BigWillSD]

Good video, and although the content was nice and I appreciate your time, it lacked your personality, and that's what sets you apart from the rest as well as what drew me to your channel. Those that will follow you for the long haul watch you for you, not just the hammer hitting steel.

[@TimothyDyck]

Oh Don't you worry! Talking Tim is here to stay! Hahaha. :)

[@alvindueck8227]

DANG, son that's shiny. Lotta work with the hammer but I'm sure it's an appreciated task.

[@TimothyDyck]

Thank you!!

[@jackdawg4579]

Can't say I have ever bothered buffing a punch!

[@TimothyDyck]

I know right! Its so shiny I'm scared to use it! 😁

[@Maker-G]

Dude, bite nails with the hardy tool there.... JEEZE

[@douglasfathers4848]

Did you Quench in water or oil

[@TimothyDyck]

Quenched in water! 😊

[@tattoosteveneo]

Cool tool! Word of caution. Never ever wrap sandpaper around anything in a lathe that’s moving. It can grab you before you can react and literally rip your arm off.

[@tattoosteveneo]

And this is why. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXbHgqRrnqZ6j9U

[@lenblacksmith8559]

Nice one, so is this your fist punch you've made or is this for beginners who need to make a punch?

[@TimothyDyck]

Not my first punch... Does it look that bad. :P hehehe

[@lenblacksmith8559]

@@TimothyDyck Oh wasn't sure, no mate it's great looking love it. Cheers matey.

[@8gmm8]

I wonder how someone so quick and efficient at the powerhammer can be that anxious with a handhammer. I also think your hardening hardly hardened it. but anyways i very much like your other vids and your energy, keep up the good work!

[@jjppres]

I think he only hardened the very tip and thats it. I kind or wondered that too. Actually re-watched it.

[@TimothyDyck]

Thanks guys. I didn’t go into detail on the hardening if you want more insight into what’s going on check out my video where I make a chisel out of a coil spring. I went into a bit more detail in that video! Thanks.

[@derekmelton]

Anxious? How is he 'anxious' with a hand hammer? Great work Tim, is that a mild steel hammer? I've been meaning to make one myself for driving drifts and such. Great video.

[@TimothyDyck]

Thank you! Its actually not mild steel hammer, however I do use one a mild steel hammer a ton for driving drifts and such... I actually made a video of me making that soft hammer. The one heat hammer. Cheers!

[@8gmm8]

I mean one could forge out the taper a lot quicker using a bigger hammer and the right techniques. Here it looks like hes sneaking towards it, not very “give it beans“. I didnt mean to offend someone..

[@ycisbetter]

it still is a mystery that you dont have more subs than you do.

[@EmmerKnives]

esteve mena yeah, I honestly really wonder why.

[@TimothyDyck]

Thank you! If ya figure out why, just let me know eh! 😉haha

[@EmmerKnives]

Timothy Dyck i know a few other small creators, just like you: great content a lot of videos and really active but just like you they don’t get what they deserve(talking about followers) I talked with them but we couldn’t figure out what the problem is.Other people just upload one video that skyrockets. Take my channel for example I just uploaded one crappy video and got 1200 followers and 166k views from it, but I absolutely don’t know what I did. There were a few days in which my Video gained like 20k views a day.

[@EmmerKnives]

Timothy Dyck you could try and get some followers from insta to subscribe to your yt channel, maybe the sudden rise in followers and views could bring the yt algorithm to show your videos to more people.

[@jjppres]

@@TimothyDyck I think its the ocassional live streams some of these guys do. Seems to attract a lot of followers. Like "Wow he talked to me"

[@douglasfathers4848]

PS like your hammer

[@bulldogg4]

Rather than trying to fix that hammer might be time to make a video of you making yourself a new one! :D

[@killerkane1957]

I missed your typical narrative. No biggie just a bit taken aback. I know it’s your favorite hammer, but what’s with the mushroomed head? It is apparently a bit on the soft side? I make lots of ‘em and never saw this. In your case it may be a desired trait? Seeking wisdom not being an ass.

[@TimothyDyck]

Don't worry the talking Tim is still here! hehe. Hammer is very soft and has worn into this shape, and its pretty nice as it matches how I swing. It is getting a bit excessive though...

[@baddogforge5181]

Ever smack ur knuckles on that Hardie tool I learnt the hard way lol

[@TimothyDyck]

NOOO That does not sound good! I always take out my hot cut after using it as I definitely don't want to have my knuckles come down on that one at all!

[@baddogforge5181]

@@TimothyDyck yea I saw u swing with that turning fork in there and I cringed lol

[@robertgoodhope7217]

remove the mushroom on your hammer and the hardy bending fork SAFETY
