i find the Bob Punch alot easier, although there are many methods in using it,
Im Based in the UK but im using my last 6 months to travel to the U.S for an insight before moving there. Fancy doing some freelance first.
When using a cross-pein i seem to obliterate my shoe...and it becomes straight...any tips?
cheers! =]

As of right now, I don't have a DVD out, but my wife's been pressuring me to put one together. If I do, I'll let you know! Thanks for the nice comment!

how much does the hammer he is using weighs?

It weighs around 2.6 pounds. It is a Hofi-style cross-pein.

Normally, when you find that the branch is straightening out, it is because you are either getting too far into your stock when forging your bubble, or you are inadvertantly striking the branch when drawing your clip out. Most times, it is the latter and the easy fix is to just focus your hammer blows on the bubble, not the branch when drawing your clip out. Again, practice and pateience are the keys here. However, if a bob punch works well for you, stick with it. Remember, have fun!

Another important aspect is to also limit the length of your heat. Only heat the area to be clipped. In propane this is easy as you can just place that area under the burner. In coal/coke you need to take a short heat which may mean being creative. You can also quench the rest of the shoe. If the entire shoe is heated evenly, it will want to distort and deform as you clip it. Good luck and I hope you enjoy the U.S.
