How to Dress a New Swage Block for Forging

[@lelandhawk6392]

Just got mine in the mail. Thought it would be a good idea to re-watch the video.

[@brentlegg4895]

My swage block came in handy making the heart bowls over the weekend!

[@brittinghammerforge9441]

I need to get a swage block like that one. I have monkeyed around with making depressions in wood but that is short lived when you are hammering glowing hot steel into it.

Love these blocks. best investment for the shop. They pay for themselves quickly.

[@jonnybkuehl878]

Thanks for the info on how to dress the block. Would've liked to see you do all the methods on how to dress it. File, die grind etc... Thank you again!!

Very beautiful tool. Very nice and useful. How to video. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work Roy. Keep Making. Forge On. God Bless.

Roy I’m impressed on how far you’ve worn down that wire (cup) wheel. Hahaha I have to check some of mine but you may have me beat. I like that electric die grinder you have. I don’t have an air compressor in my shop I might have to check one of those out. ✌️

[@hannemannironworks1651]

I still need to do this on my swage block thanks for sharing Roy!

[@billssmithy7352]

Swage Blocks are still things I dream of getting. But thanks for the info.

[@mtyson9004]

Great info Roy! Thanks for sharing and God Bless you guys!

[@paulorchard7960]

Thanks Roy!

[@zacharylovett8946]

Great video. I was curious whats that big depression on the side for?

[@jwjones37]

Thanks for the info. I really need to get one.

[@robertlonis9350]

Great video I hope I get one of those on your live stream Friday so I can clean one up for myself LOL

[@davosfirebeard4495]

They look like nice wee swage blocks. Will be a while before I can get myself a block, so I just informed the girlfriend that she's going to be learning to strike with a sledge someday soon so I can forge some hardie swages to do me in the meantime! hehe :D

[@samstapleton3739]

I may beginning blacksmith and that would mean the world of difference if I could win one of those how do I do it

[@stoneinthefield1]

I don’t own a Holland swage block “yet” but after seeing your videos I checked them out. I like the 100lbs swage but the shape is much different (long rectangle) from a traditional swage block. Any insight?

[@drason69]

I have swage-envy! Lol. Any place to get the slotted style, and is it worth the search? Thanks Roy! ⚒️♥️👍🌹😀

[@hannemannironworks1651]

JT don’t you have an uncle buck block?

[@drason69]

@@hannemannironworks1651 sadly, no. I never got my behind in gear, and bought one. Maybe someday, I'll get one. But, I don't really need it at the moment.

[@fritz1990]

Good video. Thanks for the info. God bless.

[@Sheepdog1314]

how do you dress an old one? I have one, rusted....thanks for the video

[@Sam-ik7uz]

Very nice

[@nikostass7521]

Hello and greetings from Greece. How many kilos does the block weight??And how much does it cost??

[@wayneheitz8390]

Great video and information, smooth surfaces are our friends. Sure glad I didn't put clothing on my block before I watched this. Lol 🙂🤣

[@Volundur9567]

Just got a mini pneumatic sander at HF because I only need it for chamfering my hardie and pritchel holes. No shame in it.

[@GodschildinNC]

Put a ring on the bottom of the leaf, and sell as a candy dish.

[@marcerivest6204]

Thanks again for the info Roy,l been wanting to make a swage block for a while, the only thing stopping me is I need to get my 1940s Cinsanady mill running. It is 3 phase and I am to cheap to buy a phase converter or another motor.

[@bentoombs]

I'm sticking with ranch..... Do your own research 😜 Catalina dressing... It's good

[@randomgoat2272]

4th! I’m losing pace.

[@neilgillmore]

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.... Woops! I fell asleep...

[@davedoessomestuff8176]

Why would you complain that a tutorial about dressing a swedge block is boring? You're the one who clicked on the video, after all. TikTok is a better place for people who have a 10 second attention span and the intellect of a child.

Thanks Roy!
