Victorian Crane Build! Part 1 Forging mortise and tenon Joints!

In this video I will show you how to for a mortise and tenon as part of series where I make a washing line crane thing!!!
The design for this build is base on old Victorian ware house cranes. I will be making two mine cranes and a bed that will be used for the washing.
in this video i make some of the tools to make a mortise and tenon joint that a blacksmith would use in this type of project an many other projects.

Watching those last few seconds at 1/4 speed, so funny!! (Another great vid btw)

[@JarlSeamus]

That is one massive fly press. I'm in lust of your tools. And google eyes really do make a power hammer more friendly, LOL

[@JoeTheBlacksmith13]

You really seem to excel at these sorts of projects. It s very fun and interesting to watch you work through issues around traditional joinery. Thanks for sharing.

[@danielmoss2089]

Pleasure dude it's what I like to do. Thank you for the great comment.

[@steelpennyforge5152]

Very cool project! You always come up with the best stuff! Keep up the good work!

[@danielmoss2089]

Thank you

[@WildBoreWoodWind]

Your 'googly' eyes, on the power hammer, seem to have developed cataracts - plus that's a dodgy Scottish accent. :0) Dan liked the vid - Dan, I love tool making but seeing those tools used, in a real world situation that's what I really enjoy watching - looking forward to part 2. Cheers.👍

[@danielmoss2089]

Pleasure as always dude and I will sort the eyes lol

[@brettsayers7768]

Great little project Dan, looking good so far, can't wait to see what way you go next with the crane.

[@grandadz_forge]

Can't wait to do some mortise and ten on for a Christmas present. It'll be a pot rack.

[@stevecarlson5944]

That's coming along quite well. I am like seeing the progress and even the mistakes.......

[@wadestewart9891]

very interesting project , nothing quite like air dried clothes espically if hung outside nice and fresh. and you have done a bang up job at it what a treat

[@danielmoss2089]

Thanks wade I'm trying my best dude. Hope your well and thank you for the great comment as always.

[@anvildave2]

Cool ya tools chappie! They will do the job better and last longer.

[@danielmoss2089]

Think there H13. Can't remember. But I hear ya.

[@danielcrawford7315]

Hmmm. Place for a grape vine w a nice cluster of grapes and a leaf or 2. Structural beautification lol!

[@danielmoss2089]

Maybe!! Thank for the comment dude.

[@marcsenteney3160]

Looking good sir! Can’t wait to see your next steps and end product!

[@danielmoss2089]

Thank you dude.

[@timjackson5555]

Love that you show how to do this by hand. I have always aggravated my blacksmithing mentors, by stating it is (for me a waste of time practicing much slitting and drifting) for one I am a fabricator, my father taught metallurgy, welding, machine trades, math , science etc. Why don't you do the rest of the slitting under the power hammer? weld a handle on it and a bolster underneath. or get an ironworker and save hours of work. (me) always looking for ways to have custom/forged the fastest & cleanest way possible. It is not lazy using the tools you have_ it is foolish not to .. thank you for showing the proper way, now Forge On!!

[@danielmoss2089]

Just not sure I'm happy messaging up a load of work for 10mins of time saving. Wasn't much differents in time. I punch lots of holes with the massey but I find that it take practice. If I had messed up the hole I would need to make the up right again and we'll that seems like a waste of time. Thank you for the comment and I agree if you got it uses it lol

[@TAS1303]

Interesting project Dan I like seeing different stuff. I can't even visualize the build yet but can't wait to see it come together

[@danielmoss2089]

I have a drawing ill show it in the next video lol

[@danielmoss2089]

I have a drawing ill show it in the next video lol

[@bentoombs]

Very cool dude,about time you do something for you're better 3/4! 😜🤣🤣🍻🍻 can't wait to see you finish it ⚒On!!

[@nedkelly6801]

Well done Dan. I have also done a bit of slot drifting in 25mm sq and found that I encountered a lot of draw down. Maybe I let it get a bit cold. Its hard work on your own and no power tools. My advice is keep it simple, don't add to much more. KIS and I find less is more anyway. Regards Ned

[@danielmoss2089]

I was always told KISS Keep it simple stupid lol but your right. Thank you dude great comment.

[@mtyson9004]

Awesome! Can’t wait to see the finished product!

[@graemebrumfitt6668]

Seriously nice work Dude. TFS, G :)

[@bulldogg4]

neat project I can't wait to see how it turns out

[@danielmoss2089]

Thank you dude ill try my best and thank you for the comment as always.

[@coffeesstudios2122]

Nice clean work sir. Going to have to take your class myself.

[@danielmoss2089]

Nice one John need to start think about that lol. Your ace.

[@luukderksen8810]

Hell yeah! Second candidate over here

[@jackdawg4579]

nice project!

[@lenblacksmith8559]

Very good Dan, love the tenon's and the drifting, so good and the H13 seems like good steel. Can't wait to see this bracket all done. Will be good, wanna see it in place and working if that's possible.

[@danielmoss2089]

That's the plan. Think the only thing I will leave out is machine but it's hard to film and I'm not great at it. Lol thank for the comment as always dude,

[@lenblacksmith8559]

Cheers mate, no worries great stuff.

[@GrumpysWorkshop]

Nicely done. Definitely giving me some ideas for other joinery, but I'd have to work out easing the punching process for just hand hammer work. Would running a slitter through first be a little easier than just punching the hole?

[@danielmoss2089]

The slitter would need to be the same shape as the drift any way. It work well I was just being slow with it. Nice idea dude thank you for the comment

[@BBForge]

Nicely done Dan

[@chrislawrence6015]

Sweet will look good when it's done mate

[@danielmoss2089]

Thank you dude thay might make nice light brackets. Thank you for the great comment as always. Ps was the link OK?

[@chrislawrence6015]
