Blacksmiths Guillotine Tool

[@caseythimm5522]

I always enjoy these voice over style videos. Your commentary is just so entertaining and contains so much insight into the processes you're using and why you're doing things the way that you are. Super useful for general learning. If you're concerned about matching the bolts up with their respective holes, You could use a numbered punch to mark each hole and it's bolt. So put a punch mark by the #1 hole and the same mark on it's bolt head

[@caseythimm5522]

Also. What happened at 9:31? It looks like you stopped just before you finished your cut. Was there a reason you had to stop?

[@mcshawnboy]

I'm in agreement with you on all of those points. As a kid I loved "Wordless Workshop" in a popular magazine prior to the digital era, but I HATE when a video is done without commentary but they decide to put in techno music or random royalty free tracks! I've learned a lot from most of the channels I watch, but I can't watch too much of hot glue holding parts to make a very simple item and that music.

[@phillipchambers8487]

@@mcshawnboy Amen to that shit. I cannot stand to be watching a Video with that Techno Crap being played. It is ridiculous. I watch these to learn stuff, not because I wanna be at a Rave. Lol

[@Atlantismonkey40]

I continue to be amazed at what people make on KZbin. No idea about black smithing, yet this was well worth watching!

[@mikekeystonefl]

Love the channel! There are allot of channels these days that are unscrupulously trying to make money or get free tools by reviewing and recommending products. I really appreciate when makers recommend good products. Please let us know when you recommend a product if you paid full price with your own money or it was sent to you or whatever we should know. Its great what you are doing and thanks so much for sharing!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jeffryblackmon4846]

Nice addition to your shop. Thanks for showing how it is assembled.

[@Trigene1004]

i will build this tool for me...thank you for sharing with us...great work

[@kevinsellsit5584]

That 1" X 2" is available in Hardox (brand) hard plate for bucket repair. This would be good for more complex shapes, and would last forever like your tank guillotine will. I think I have everything in stock to build my own, but I'll wait until it's not 117 F outside. Awesome tool project!

[@MakeEverything]

Kevin Sellsit very cool! I’ll have to look into that and get some!

[@RUSSO_V_HAWAII]

I’ve had success hardening A35 mild steel dies with SUPER QUENCH 🤙🏽⚒🔥

[@seansysig]

Chris, very cool new tool. I could see this same design becoming a arbor press.

[@waylandforge8704]

I made mine as well, except yours makes mine look like Bambi. Apart from all the cool tools I like the way you narrate with a voice over instead of trying to talk over the production noise. Well done.

[@keithjohnson281]

If you want to apply wax to a project you should get a breakfast warming tray to heat up that item. The temperature is low enough to open up the pores of the steel and the wax soaks into the metal and forms a rust-resistant layer. This is good for axes and hammers and any kind of steel tool. You can put as many coats as you would like on it. The wax dries up quickly so if you are working on multiple tools you can cycle through them until you figure they have been coated enough.

[@TalRohan]

Very nice bit of kit...a well made version with lots of scope for changes later

[@daveyhall4599]

A suggestion, groove areas to be welded. then grinding flush leaves more weld. Nice build.

[@ronwinter3290]

Have you considered adding a spring to the top and a catch on the top tool bar so that between blows, the tool opens... like a regular hardy hike fuller tool?

[@MakeEverything]

I have! It would be a really nice addition!

[@Rouverius]

Man, that must be so satisfying to make your own functional tool that works so well. Bonus: it's got a great look too. 👍

[@MakeEverything]

Rouverius thank you! It’s a really good feeling!

[@victoryfirst2878]

There is no surprise to making good tools that will make it so much easier for you to Smith. That is the point many guys miss. Great work with focus. Peace and stay virus free too. VF

[@davidlong3824]

That’s a nice job a very handy tool great..

[@MisterRorschach90]

I saw a self ratcheting screw driver the other day. It gave me an idea for a powerless drill press. Mod an arbor press to work with a self ratcheting screw driver and bam, self ratcheting drill press. You should make one.

[@tonymonastiere8510]

In the words of Darth Vader...Impressive, most impressive!

[@patchesofgreen3832]

Really well thought out design. Good job ad usual.

[@indoorsandout3022]

I can't afford to buy one of these or buy a welder, But I can forge one I think, and I need one badly because I don't have a striker to help. I'm going to float a bit of an idea, let me know if you think it's good or crazy... Forge wrap-eye guides, weld them to the side plates using the anvil bridge to support it, rivet in the spacers with big dome head rivets, Rivet bottom spacers to a base plate so I can give this thing its own stump... What do you think?

[@homemadetools]

Very nice work. We posted your video on our homemade tools forum yesterday, credited to you of course :)

[@phillipchambers8487]

So where do I find this Homemade Tools Forum??? I gotta check that out.

[@rarityfind]

Is that the original drill press chuck key Or is that modified Looks awesome

[@jojodiver8706]

Ever think about welding some rivet sets to the top dies so you can use a rivet gun instead of swinging a hammer?

[@mihaj599]

Nice build for such a small [ guillotine ] tool

[@Moondog-wc4vm]

I'm deeply impressed by your knowledge and dedication, but honestly believe this project is over-engineered. Just my opinion as a smith, but not a welder or machinist. It will do a great job, but a smith is happy with a lot less tolerance because he will be happy to adjust by eye later in the project. I'm sure you will use it great advantage in your own projects and I won't even try to pretend that my projects are anywhere near as complicated or impressive as yours! I just like to hit metal with hammers and am pleased if it comes out useful!

[@donsmith9081]

Smart wearing the respirator.

[@andrewoperacz7427]

Both amazing builds. I’m in the process of making my own. Slowly but it’s coming along. Angle grinder and hack saw. 3/4 in plate. Lol.

[@caseyc870]

What about adding a spring to lift the die and a tether to keep it from launching itself out. That way you put your piece in hot and hammer down never having to lift the die

[@MJ-nb1qn]

Nice Build!

[@tomim7187]

What is it with you and Cremona and the Mario Brothers mustaches? Great video!

[@kjellski]

Whohooooo Chris, that is one hefty awesome guillotine tool! - :) you wouldn't believe it, we just designed one similar to yours to be lasercut - I'll let you know once it's finished :)

[@mcshawnboy]

I've bypassed this video more than once not having any idea what it was but I appreciate it now that I've seen it in action! My best friend is married to an Afrikaner woman and young adult son and his dad is a big Bushcraft bladesmith in South Africa from what I understand. My friend didn't grow up with knives and guns and feels too intimidated by them. His family is close to done with 3+ years of legal entry if the good Lord is willing before the end of the year. I've been talking with the boy and he wants to do smithing here and I am getting items to help put together a small shop for him to ease the transition from the bush with large game animals regularly in contact with you. His mom has sent me pictures of her with giraffe, zebra, elephant and others being the manager of a guest lodge just outside of The Kruger National Park area called henk van rooyen area with her place with a fence on Crocodile River from the park. Do yourself a favor and just look at the pictures of the area. Recently a round trip from Dulles Airport was $1500 economy and lodging is the normal $100+ a night most places in the US if you add in all of the taxes and fees. So he and I will be learning together with his progress.

[@matthewf1979]

Some half hound dies would be great too! Convex and concave.

[@marcuschristensen4183]

[@MakeEverything]

dale jones thanks! I’ve got a few!

[@sickboymech92]

Beautiful tool.

[@StubbornWorkshop]

I liked the end where you were talking to the camera, as opposed to most of the video with the voice over. Yes, it was very informational, and accurate, but you seem much more accessible as a human with the face time. But either way I enjoyed the video. You definitely spent way more time making yours than I did mine, but yours looks a lot better too!!!

[@richardbradley961]

buen trabajo, ponle un resorte para que te levante la pieza que golpea, saludos desde mexico

[@Anonymous-it5jw]

It was quite an education watching you make this, and to see the thoughts, careful planning and precise execution that went into this project. Did you use grade 8 or higher bolts in attaching the pieces to the guillotine, and were they tightened to any particular uniform torque value? It seems similar in some ways to the old thousand pound power hammers that took up a huge amount of space in the blacksmith shops of yesterday. For your device, would a simple foot-pedal activated, air-powered cylinder(and possibly a return spring) mounted inside the frame that would quicken the process of raising and dropping the guillotine be of benefit when hammering hot material, so that you had both hands free to control that material.

[@kdtrimble]

He turned into Super Mario at the end!

[@oddjobbobb]

I wonder if that company is going to have to change its product name. Excellent work. I noticed 8 people gave this YT a thumbs down. What? Are they like professional naysayer? For crying out loud! WHATS NOT TO LIKE?!?

[@mcshawnboy]

@Dennis Young So I've not done much fab work since I was younger and working in the trades but still unable to buy pricey tools not used as much to pay their keep. Working as an erector was golden 'cuz they'd deep pockets! Being clueless of even the existence of this piece of kit I was wondering if an HD square column like from high rise buildings could that be a more accurate framework? Do 45 cuts to make the C-SHAPE just thinking.

[@markweiner4430]

In 100 years someone will restore that.

[@TailEndCustoms]

[@jimbarbwe1985]

What eye protection is required when uesing a plasma cutter. I have seen a lot of people on KZbin not using any. But I see your uesing a automatic welding mask, what settings are you uesing. Thanks for your help 👍

[@MakeEverything]

I use my welding hood and set it to shade 5. It keeps my face from getting sunburn and from any rogue sparks. I also have clear safety glasses on underneath the hood

[@MakeEverything]

Black wax is a rub on compound that blackens metal and also protects it. Sculpt Nouveau makes it, along with other special metal finishes

[@Borland12345]

That is the most overdesigned guillotine tool I've ever seen (outside of industrial forging applications)! Good job on that.
