The Easy Way to Forge 90 Degree Offset Corners

[@RyanBarnes]

I don't know if anybody caught this but while we were watching the angle being formed this man was switching hands and hammering just as efficiently with each.

[@Chris_Schafer]

My takeaway from this is that Roy is ambidextrous. The technique appears to be a simple and novel way to get results. I don't think you're losing too much mass in the corner and the results look clean and crisp. I'll definitely try this myself!

[@veteranironoutdoors8320]

Now that was real slick. Thank you for once again adding to my toolbox Roy!

[@Anvilbanger]

THANK YOU and bless you, son. You just taught an old dog a new trick!

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Glad you enjoyed it God bless you as well

[@leroybarker8510]

Thanks Roy, I learn something almost every video wether I want to or not.

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Very welcome thank you for watching

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Very nice video this week Roy. Very helpful and definitely useful video thank you so much. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work Roy. Forge On. Keep Making. God Bless.

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Thanks Jared God bless

[@justin_ray]

I look forward to the day when I have the shop and equipment to do such things. In the meantime I will live vicariously through you 🤣

[@gamer2101]

Me too. My forge is still a major freaking issue. I made to it big I think. I built it out of a old charbroil grill.

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Keep working at it you'll get there

[@dragonstonegemironworkscra4740]

Ohhh the silent treatment eh, nyuk nyuk nyuk. 😂 Well that's a true 1st. Seen several other ways and even other smiths , but this is new to me and IMHO far faster than the other ways. Thank you 🙏 God bless and keep you now, well wishes Sir "curly" out 🔥⚒️🧙🏼‍♂️

[@dennyjudson2165]

Excellent lesson! Faster and better control than the corner of the anvil. Contemplating if a backing hammer on the opposite side might even improve it a bit more.

[@ffolted]

Good stuff! Never seen this technique.Ive done square corners in the past by folding the hot bar all the way over then forge a 45* angle on the tip of the bend.Unfold the bend and are very close to a squared 90* corner.Thanks Roy!

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

That's a good way of doing it too

[@Fricker112]

I just got my bellow and now I´m exited to start using my forge for real

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Awesome

[@thomasgoodemoot]

Very clean looks nice some ambidextrous work my left is not as smart as the right but I still try to use both

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Thanks Thomas!

[@hannemannironworks1651]

I didn’t know if this technique thanks for sharing Roy!

[@heathm]

Nice use of the vice to work on making the square corners 👍. I never thought of using the vice that way. I would have probably tried to fight over the edge of the anvil.

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Aww the vice a very underrated tool in the blacksmith shop for Sure...

[@shadetreeforge]

@@ChristCenteredIronworks You don't realize how much you use a vise until you don't have one to work with!

[@Hindsfeetfarm]

Awesome trick- thanks!

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Very welcome

[@paulorchard7960]

Going to try that method to do 90 corner, got to be quicker than a big upset in centre of bar!

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

This method is very quick and a lot easier than the upsetting process in the center of the bar. Plus you can use this technique on any length of bar

[@NeilGraham.I.M.F]

Great technique. Thanks much

[@pivers01]

Thanks for showing this trick. I’m getting ready to make a pound in lantern hook out of some square bar and remembered this video. It looks so much easier than upsetting the stock to make the corner. Is there a specific amount of bend that needs to be done for this technique? It looks like you bent the bar approximately 110-120 degrees.

[@robertlonis9350]

That’s why I keep tuning in my friend, you never disappoint with the new lessons😉is this the double upset corner from your sign bracket?

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Yes sir

[@brittinghammerforge9441]

Nice 👍

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Thank you

[@farmboy4189]

Need a piano playing in the background. Since your doing Buster Keaton impersonations. Enjoyed the video and have a blessed day.

[@Carterironworks]

It looks like it might thin out a little near the corners is it? Could it be beneficial to upset it a little before doing the bend or would it be unnecessary? Thinking of making some log dogs. Excellent video never thought of doing it this way. Keep up the good work

[@stenzeliron6818]

Nice!!

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Thank you sir !

[@kidkv]

Thanks Roy, I would of done it the hard way!

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

We all do at least once lol

[@kidkv]

@@ChristCenteredIronworks So very true lol

[@matttaimuty5397]

You might get better results if you bolstered the opposite side of the angle with a heavy hammer when upsetting in the vise. Not sure, but I think you'd get more upsetting into the corner itself.

[@zachrapattoni6981]

Has anyone seen this done with actual square corners? Whenever I see it the corner is always tapered/rounded

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

This method will produce very square corners.. In this video the upset square corners needed to be not completely square as this bar will be turned into a S-scroll
