Fixing the pedal on the induction forge

Sorry for the video format, this was shot in portrait mode for instagram. My induction forge pedal was sticking, not activating and deactivating the heat cycles as it should. The fix was fairly straightforward. #induction #forge #blacksmith
Treadle hammers vs tire hammers (and which one I would choose first)
Переглядів 7 тис.Рік тому
I use both the Clay Spencer in-line treadle hammer and Clay Spencer tire hammers in my shop on a daily basis. They’re both phenomenal tools. In this video I give a video reply to an email from an instagram follower, Herb where he asked my opinion on them and which one I would choose first. I hope this helps!

    I've been told that that is not actually meant to be a pritchel hole but us simply a mounting hole so you can bolt that end of the anvil down.

    You are not doing it correctly, READ the welder manual. Been doing it for over 50 Years, so I do know what I am talking about. Get the slot welded up in the table blade plate too before you have an accident when cutting tiny pieces. The blade could drag the part into the slot and jam.

    But can you realistically draw down with a treadle hammer faster than by hand?

    • @derekmelton
      @derekmelton Рік тому

      No, treadle hammer isn’t suited for that kind of work. Think “hey, I could really use a striker right now” That is what a treadle hammer is for

    • @kennethelwell8574
      @kennethelwell8574 2 місяці тому

      Maybe not faster, but sometimes "smarter"? Trade a dozen hammer blows for a few leg presses, and give your arm a rest. With flat dies, you can smooth out and straighten easily, it's like having a striker hitting a flatter. With tapered open or closed dies, you can finish forging tapers on square or round, to be consistent and smooth.
