my first brakedrum forge and RRspike knife

[zanuha]

What kind of coal are you using? Could I use just regular old grill coal?

[brycro]

Nice set up. Was that bbq charcoal? That's real cool

[bighole1818]

My dad built one like this but he used the vacuum canister and lined it with refractory clay. On kingsford charcoal he gets it hot enough to melt his steel crucible if he's not careful. mostly he melts down old aluminum to make shelf brackets and stuff

[vincentvangro]

@bighole1818 just an fyi the charcoal u buy in stores is not good to use for knife making and other things..can u use it yes,but that stuff has fillers and such thats not good with metals..u can make your own charcoal by burning down wood..the black char'd wood you let cool then rinse off let dry and there u go...burns really good..

[TheMichealmc]

would a pump for a blow up camping bed work to allow air up the pipe? i think its a 12v

[webbcityglassman]

@TheMichealmc sure but for how long idk the heat will back up on you and burn it up if its too near the heat

[kodyokeefe]

@atwas911 how do u know he stole it from the tracks. There are thousands of rr spikes just sitting next to the tracks

[atwas911]

Word of caution: It is a federal offense to use/steal/salvage or otherwise take any piece of "Rail Road" steel.

You have just admitted publicly, and submitted video proof of yourself doing so..

[TheQuinian]

@atwas911 BS you can buy "rail road spikes" from the hardware store.. they are just essentially giant iron nails

[TheCrimsonIron]

@atwas911 at what point in this video does he "admit publicly" to stealing a railroad spike? Please post a link to the law forbidding the use or salvage of a rr spike like this. There may be such a law, but I don't believe it is enfoced considering the thousands of knives that are forged from them annually.

[webbcityglassman]

@TheCrimsonIron GET A LIFE SALLY

[Lancaster0517]

@TheCrimsonIron Let's melt some pennies and sell them as copper bars.

[59gauguin]

@Lancaster051: ...Can copper, as in old UK pennies be melted easily. I would have though you need to keep the air (oxygen) away from the molden metal. How are bronze castings made?

[Jnaathra]

@Lancaster0517 New pennies are zinc with a very thin copper coating.

[webbcityglassman]

@atwas911 i bought them from a rr salvage yard F#CK TARD

[webbcityglassman]

@atwas911 get a life F@CK TARD

[pcblah]

@webbcityglassman woah... rage...

[vincentvangro]

@atwas911 you sir are a shit starting dumbfuck..where in the world did u hear him say he want up to a railroad and take anything?..btw i find rr spikes all the time in the streams when im panning and sluicing for gold...so am i breaking the law?did'nt know a railroad ran through a stream...libs go fig....

[brycro]

@atwas911 stupid comment......

[baanjoguy]

Cool, how long did it take you to forge the knife ?

[webbcityglassman]

@baanjoguy it only takes 30min or less to rough one out on the forge ,its alot of fun for a little money

[johninloveindaytona]

Verry cool man , I am going to head over to the salvage yard. I would make one every weekend, would probly pay for itself in a couple months. Awesom Thanks

[webbcityglassman]

@johninloveindaytona no problem ,it does make a nice little forge try useing a leaf blower with a reistate to slow it down

[johninloveindaytona]

@webbcityglassman Thanks for the info. My buddys forge is a old Harrow disc, its big but I dont have the room for that. I like the anvil too., I am looking for one.

[ninjazombie15]

nice knife man keep it up! hell i might end up wanting to buy one lol

[simpleman2423]

How hard would that thing be to take apart so I could see how you mounted the brake drum?

[docsimonson]

How much did your anvil cost to make? Just curious. You made it from a railroad rail? Really nice video btw. Hope you're planning on making more.

[webbcityglassman]

@docsimonson a friend of mine made that anvil its older and i guess people used to do that alot ,it does make a good cheap anvil ,thanks for watching

[iandegia]

that anvil is so cool

[webbcityglassman]

@iandegia thanks

[johnnybagofdonets]

well done, thanks for posting....

[AssrocketFoundryCo]

I have asimilar kinds forge, made from a 13" tire drum :)

[kasm817]

good stuff.

[webbcityglassman]

@kasm817 thanks

[DistendedPerinium]

So is the 34 dollars for just the drum forge or is that including the tools?

[chevyvictor]

knuckle duster

[snoopdog68]

I like it and want one.

[webbcityglassman]

@snoopdog68 im glad you like it ,there real easy to build and they work great

[snoopdog68]

@webbcityglassman the knife is sweet too, i like to see hand forge hammer marrks.

your work makes me want to get to building things

thanks..

[webbcityglassman]

@snoopdog68 thanks man its fun to forge thats for sure

[Alehkhs]

Huh, I've not seen that drum+barrel set-up before, but I love it! What size barrel is that, and how well does the drum fit in/on it?

[webbcityglassman]

@Alehkhs well thanks ,its a 30 gallon barrel and i cut the bottom out the right diametor to accept the brakedrum and cut out the side to access the dumpcap it fits tight and makes it realy stable and portable, i thought of useing the barrel instead of cynderblocks just by6 chance and ive been real pleased how professionalit looks

[butkatrello]

burn brother burn!

[VTwanderer]

Wow, is this your first knife? It looks very nice, keep up the good work.

[Glassmans1girl]

You worked so hard on this and I know how much you enjoy it. You make amazing knifes and I can't wait to learn to do this with you, we are gonna have a blast!

[KIDU96]

@hamm336 better u make one its the best quality for a knife

[hamm336]

how can i buy one of those knife's?

[mustangdriven2ex]

can that set up produce welding heat?

[webbcityglassman]

sure can chunk charcoal or coal or coke will get welding hot easy

[mustangdriven2ex]

thanks

[halfbreed02]

dude u gotta a how to on that axe head u made in the warhawk video, good shit , and how and what u fit it on??

[webbcityglassman]

i dont have a video on how too but ,its pretty simple ,i think its about 16 inches of mildsteel 3 1/2 to4 inches wide ,fold in half cut triangles on open end down to 11/2 strip the rest of the way ,twist the spike first make the eye then forge weld the blade try it with paper or clay first ,ill try to make a video sometime on how too ,thanks for watching

[1swede1]

What kind of steel did you use?

[blueshadow1337]

That looks like BBQ briquettes, those are mostly sawdust and other filler. Use real coal/coke or even charcoal for a better result. And it's usually cheaper. Look up a dealer in the phone book, sometimes they'll deliver free if you're on their route to another place.

[jeremiahsineiii]

Make our own.  It's easy.

[blueshadow1337]

Indeed it is, and I do. But that has nothing to do with your using BBQ briquettes. :P

[jeremiahsineiii]

I don't even use BBQ briquettes to BBQ! Wood is much better. :P

[webbcityglassman]

this is an older video of mine since then i have used coal and coke the coke kicksass its the way to go

[jwilson004athotmail]

I like the set up but you could have shown a little on how you put it togethor and not just taping after the fact. still good job!! I built mine out of an old steel truck rim and welded a steel plate to the bottom.

[Macju92]

lucky, it cost me 64 dollars to build my forge.

[metalcrosss]

hey webbcityglassman, thank you for puting this video up. You inspired me to make one just like this.

[ccarver80]

haha thats awesome... when i first heard of brake drum forges... i probly should have looked up pics.. cuz i made mine out of a semi brake drum... its deep and huge.. but it works for me.. then i went and saw one of these and was like oh that makes more sense.. oh well.... :) nice knife thou! i just got my forge going today!!

[captaincake5]

that forge set up looks great. you used the idea well and it looks promising. good video and good luck.

[iamanidiot666]

Great idea using the brakedrum, I am going to build one next spring. Cool knives too.

I think one of those spikes would make a great little hawk head.

later...........

[a10centsuperhero]

"Freak hot... I guess that's what it's supposed to do..." hahaha, that's awesome! I totally can't wait to get my setup put together. The vaccuum cleaner idea is a good idea too... I might have to look into that. Good job on the knife too.

[purgatoryironworks]

Hey, where did you learn how to make that fine looking forge?! :)

[howes1960]

I'm using a dimmer switch to control air flow

[metalcrosss]

me too, what type of blower or fan are you using?

[howes1960]

I'm using a shop vac as a blower. Seems to tolerate the dimmer dropping the current. I used a house vacuum from the roadside. Most throw out because brush head is done in. Usually the rest still works. Hope this helps.

[strantor]

Sweet! I like what you did with the barrel, makes it look nice. I see you used galvanized. could you find any black iron? Knife looks good too. I haven't posted any more videos lately because I've been tied up in my new project. I bought a welder and I'm making a Mad Max bumper for my new Cavalier.

[Deathicorn]

I wish you were my neighbor

[WeaponCollector]

Excellent work jason, that worked really good.

When i get a chance i need to try this myself.

see you.
