Great explanation. I have almost zero knowledge on blacksmiths and the profession but this made sense to me and I see how it can cause a fault in the end product. I see how it would’ve been difficult to show by example, but the drawing and teaching made total sense. I love little discoveries like this, it’s not something the average person would think about so once you kinda understand how it’s happening it gives you a glimpse into all the implications it has. Like I can only imagined how some things are made by blacksmiths that use this to their advantage. Like idk if I’m making any sense but this is one of those moments where I learn something that causes me to realize that I truly don’t know shit about something. Reminds me that all I know for sure is that I don’t know shit haha.
Very nice explanation I really thank you
Thanks
I noticed a small one of these between the boss and rein on a tong I had forged. I had no understanding of how these occur and assumed that it was a crack resulting from forging metal that was too cold. I ground it out and filled in the gap from the grinder with weld; all the while thinking it didn't really look like a crack. Thanks to your excellent explanation, I now understand it was a flap or fold of overlapping metal. I appreciate your taking the time to explain how they are caused, and have a much better understanding of how to prevent them from happening. I appreciate your patient and detailed teaching method, as it shows you are more interested in helping folks like me learn and understand, rather than just producing videos showing how much you know. Thanks again!
Best explanation I’ve heard yet.
I am trying to make an axe as illustrated by Gerald Boggs. The axe has the poll and tapered ends formed by offsets. I get nice clean offsets but from there forging the cheeks. I am getting massive cold shut cracks at the offset, the big crack on the inside and a series of small cracks on the outside.
well explained roy and nice work explaining how to do sharp corners

👍
shalom . what if you know the cold shot exists , can it be fixed ? can the wound be healed ?
Great videos! I have a good suggestion when trying to explain things like you mentioned in this video. Try using modeling clay along with the soap stone drawings. The clay would be a good medium to show how the steel moves. :)
I thought it was a cold shut because it was colder than welding heat so it does not weld shut.

+No BS Survival Blacksmithing Swords And Armour the only time that I have ever heard a reference to cold shots is in a finished piece of iron that has had a lap like talked about in the video. Anytime I have heard something about a piece not welding in it has been referred to as inclusions or delamination. But to each his own

I meant the reason why I thought what you were showing was called a cold shut not a hot shut.
