Any questions about this induction forge? Note, the extra coils were purchased from cluaranforge.com

[@marknelson7451]

What did you end up using for hooking the machine to 220 power source?

[@marknelson7451]

Looking forward to seeing your work again at the Atlanta Blade Show. Love your work and your videos.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

@@marknelson7451I already had a 50 amp outlet so I just put a plug on a heavy cable and it’s good to go.

[@billrockefeller5409]

I purchased same induction forge last year, works like a dream. The company stands behind the product, just have to do it all by email. Always love your videos, by far the best out there!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks so much, Bill! I appreciate you following the channel. ❤️

[@brysonalden5414]

An added advantage for us old codgers is that you can set up part of your shop so you can use the induction forge sitting down, and have an anvil at a suitable height to stay seated when working the hot material.

[@erikcourtney1834]

I was thinking having a temperature controlled shop. Be pointless and a health hazard to run a gas or coal forge in an inclosed shop…

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Yup, that certainly would work. Thanks for watching, Bryson.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Erik, you should never have a gas forge in an enclosed space. It kicks off a ton of carbon monoxide. Thanks for watching.

[@erikcourtney1834]

@@TyrellKnifeworks exactly, that’s what I was pointing out. An induction forge would be perfect for a temperature controlled shop.

[@HummingbirdKnives]

Nice, definitely a handy piece of equipment. And congrats on your impending retirement from the day job! Having more time in the shop will be awesome.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks! Looking forward to it for sure. 😉

[@TheOGfrenchy]

Great info!!! Thanks Denis!! Well did!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks for watching!

[@PotbellyTurtle]

Thanks for sharing! Very helpful and useful information.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching

[@tannergerstner1524]

Going on 20 years ago I worked for P&H in a variety of capacities as a machinist. I recall they had an induction heat treat machine for heat treating the outer diameter of the trolly wheels for gantry cranes. I always marveled at how quickly it heated a specific portion to heat treat temps before plunging into a quench.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

They really are magical! 😜. Thanks for watching

[@boesshawn]

Looks great, the forge and leaf shape seem to be very close to arrow heads. I wonder how many you could make in a hour with that setup

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Way more than you could using any other type of forge, that’s for sure. Thanks for watching

[@PsilocybeXIII]

ACCIAIO !🥰 Greetings from italy !

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Grazie per aver guardato!

[@sombrero2520]

Looks fun

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

It really is a fun setup. Thanks for watching.

[@laurentcavaille2191]

Absolument génial cet outil !

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

C'est magique ! 🤣. Merci d'avoir regardé.

[@Coffe-]

If this is the kinda work someone is doing, an induction forge will save both money and time. Very handy machine 👍

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

It’s not something you can use for Damascus but for simple forged projects and mono steel knives, it’s amazing! Thanks for watching

[@fourkings7897]

I want this for a long long time, but can't afford it yet.. Nice one there..

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

It’s a great add to the shop. When you can afford one, try it! They are super useful. Thanks for watching.

[@jmikronis7376]

I’m a former Electronics repair tech. I’ve been trying to figure out what frequency these type systems use and think it’s around 7KHz. I’m trying to build one around a CRT yoke that’s made of ferrite. It’ll transfer the magnetic field to the steel very efficiently.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I’m no electrical engineer so it’s mysticism to me. 🤣. Thanks for watching.

[@PCPatton68]

That looks amazing. I would really like to see you make a knife with that and compare the process to the traditional forge.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I’ll definitely be doing that soon! Thanks for watching.

[@mcrich1978]

Good Morning! ❤😂

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Morning! Thanks for tuning in, Matt!

[@itamiyouji4057]

I learned "the science behind it" as part of my masters, and they truly are fascinating to learn about. I've been curious about using this kind of technology as I start my own bladesmithing operation as a means to save space. Though that $1100+ price is a little steep!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

It sounds expensive but if you compare the price of propane, it’s really not. Plus the work efficiency is unmatched. Thanks for watching.

[@itamiyouji4057]

@@TyrellKnifeworks yeah, I guess you're right about that. My wife has expressed concern about me accidentally setting the garage on fire, so this may be a good work around for her concerns. Also, where did you find the knife making attachment for it again?

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

@@itamiyouji4057 the extra coils were from cluaranforge.com

[@chrisoliver1327]

Cool!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks for taking a look, Chris!

[@jessicatymczak5852]

It’s an alternating current that induces an alternating current in the steal via faradays law. The resistance of the metal is where the heating comes from.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks for explaining it, Jessica!

[@Nanoaiello]

how does it work? IT JUST DOES, is magic!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Yup, it’s just magic! 😜. Thanks for watching.

[@guillermoalfaro2714]

Hi 👋 Tyrell?!! Hmm I think that it's gonna be a headache relieved for you Tyrell save gas and time

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Yes, it will certainly save gas and time, plus quite a bit of sweat here when it’s hot! 😉. Thanks for watching.

[@mikemurphy8714]

Have you noticed any difference in the steel from heating it that fast, or that type of electric heating? Plus it was incredible watching you forge that tip out like that, everything was so square and even. Amazing hammer accuracy.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

There’s absolutely no difference in the steel from heating it this way. Thanks for the kind words and for watching!

[@mikemurphy8714]

@@TyrellKnifeworks awesome! I figured that was the case. Just a random curiosity. Love the videos like always!

[@jackn2236]

Looks like it would be great for people who want to get started in blacksmithing but live in a place where they might not be allowed to set up a normal forge... I wonder how it handles Damascus forging? Probably need to use the large coil for canister.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I don’t think you’d be able to do Damascus. It’s too focused of a heat source and I’m not sure it can reach 2100F. Doubtful. Thanks for watching

[@austintackett8603]

This isn’t related to this video in particular but I was curious if you could make a longsword out of silicon bronze? It has a close melting temp to copper but a more golden color. I think it would be an interesting experiment

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

If you mean entirely out of silicon bronze, it would be a terrible weapon that would dull easily. If you meant as a shim line the copper I’ve done, yeah that’s possible it’s just a little tougher because it’s melting point is about 200F lower than copper. Thanks for watching.

[@aareeyesee]

Love my old hickory forge straight pein. Is that one of John's hammers?

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Yup, it sure is one of John’s hammers. Thanks for watching

[@ocold-gp3oi]

Did you plug it into a wall outlet, or wire it direct to the breaker box?

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I already have a 50amp wall outlet in my shop, it gets plugged into that. The water cooler plugs into regular 110v. Thanks for watching.

[@mattatriedes77]

I wonder about being able to forge weld with a device like this.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I don’t think it’s the right tool. The heat is too localized and I’m not sure it’ll reach 2100F. Thanks for watching.

[@gundanium3126]

a hot cut tool would have had that stem off faster...I need to get ahold of some smaller stock and make some leaves.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Yeah, another tool I need to make is a cutoff tool for my anvil. Thanks for watching.

[@connort7497]

Whats the operating cost of something like this? Like has it affected your power bill? And is it comparable to the cost of propane for example?

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

It’s WAY cheaper than propane. The chiller is always on but it’s 120v. The induction coils are only on when you press the foot pedal. It’s pennies on the dollar compared to propane. Thanks for watching.
