cant help thinking this would be a perfect test project for a apprentice machinist , a very sweet project in deed , nice to see younger generation learning such skills

Very nice job on that swage block! I can see now why one of those is so expensive. That was a whole lot of machining there. That block will probably last a lifetime

A great rough and dirty project with no major yap yap plan plan. Amazing! Stealing the idea! 😎🇺🇸🔥⚒⚔️

Good camera work around the machining, you really get in there and give us a look at what would be hard to see even in person.

Awesome!!! Really nice tool you have made! May it serve you well.

Nicely done, and nice to see the youngster in the shop!

Young Lion, you do such good work. Wonder how good you'll become in the coming years. Cheers

Really nice job, l have been machining for 42years and l like old equipment too. Now lt think l know what my next big project is going to be. I need a swage block too. Good job with the video.

I am soo incredibly envious of your shop, tools, and skill. Thanks for sharing, and giving us something to dream of. XD

Good to see no Digital read out, all measuring and movement done from the dials, that's old school how I was taught when I was an apprentice, thx bro good to see the old ways are still used.

Not gunna lie, how square your bandsaw cut gave me a warm and fuzzy tingle. All the tooling for the mill was quite satisfying as well. Nice job!!!

I'm just guessing here but those two young fellows must be brothers and their dad is giving them a life skill that you're probably never going to forget plus the time spent with each other great job on both the anvils and the swag block😊

Ah! The pleasures of having a shop!

Nice work!!! Now I know what I’ve got to do with a 4”x 8”x 12” Block that is a big paper weight right now... Thank you for sharing...

This is super awesome. Excellent work. Beautiful tool. I learned something.

Great project, great shop, great attention to detail homerun all around.

Perfect !!! Nothing to say !!! Bravo again !!!

Very nice work. I bet it feels great to make a quality tool that will last a lifetime!

That turned out great!

Those are quite some nice chips you're getting with that fly cutter.👍

Great Job! Now I wish I had a mill! Lol.

You did a great job on this! Thanks for sharing your work. 🙂

Very nice Swage and great video! Thanks! 🎅🏻👍🏻🇫🇮

The worlds most precise swage block!

Thanks bro, I got yelled at by my wife. it's dinner time. 😳. Very good 👍😁 God bless you and your family.

Safety glasses please ! It happens so fast ! And you do such great work ! Thank you for sharing.

Nice work man! It's nice to see a young guy with skills like this. In the future it might be a good idea to toss on some safety glasses though... safety squints will get you pretty far, but there is always the chance something could take out an eye..

I love the smell of tool oil in the morning!!_

Beautiful job.

Excellent video, thank you 👍🏼 Now please get some eye protection 👀💪

There’s a lot of people in these comments who know heck of a lot more than I do, but seem equally as impressed as I am. It’s very rare to get so many positive comments from so many skilled people, well done. Many years after you’ve gone to the great workshop in the sky someone will be using your creation and boasting about owning it. That’s hell of a thought.

For people that haven't a clue what this is .. i looked it up for you....through-holes are of various shapes and sizes and are used to hold, support or back up a hot bar of metal for further shaping. Operations performed on a swage block include but are not limited to bending, cutting, punching and forming. The sides are scalloped to present formed shapes for forging operations. Shapes are for example the curve of a wheel, which could be used to finish a wheel rim, using a suitable hammer. Other shapes, such as the half hexagon, can be used with a matching top swage to form a hexagonal cross-section on a bar. The various shapes around the edge of the swage block all have corresponding shapes in the form of top swages to shape iron bar into various sections....

Spot on. And for those of just learning the blacksmith craft, understand what an amazing job he's done and how much drool is being generated during viewing. Just an incredible job... and one built to last. The average swage block I've used in my progress so far is over 100 years old, and still going strong. This beautiful beast is likely going to be around for decades to come... or longer. Incredible. Don't own a mill, so all I can do is ask how much he'd charge to replicate this for a private sale... but I'd be afraid to know the answer :)

Dang nice job, kid. Someone twice your appear age couldn't do any better. You've got skills. Be proud of what you did here, I only saw a couple of skate marks. SUB'd

You are just showing off all different end mills and cutters(and equipment) you have access too. Really I'm jealous and have wanted a large swage like that. Awesome work but I am curious how many cutters were harmed in the making of this video lol.

Now that you have an original shaped, a reproduction 'could' be made by taking a mold off the original to cast them out of suitable material, say ductile cast iron for instance. Just a thought, nice work! You must be a machinist by day.

Well, we planned on heat treatment but it was pretty hard already. It was hard enough that almost couldn't drill the larger holes. We decided to see how it holds up as is but it might get heat treated in the future.

Отличный дизайн куб!!!

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing Just a question about the design though. Does the postion of the two largest V cuts weaken the block? If they were offset a little, I know it wouldn't look as symmetrical, but would it remove a potential break point. Adding the additional patterns along the same line, would that further weaken? Not a criticism, just wondering. Thanks again.

What grade steel did you use?

Nice work! I have that same Kysor Johnson band saw. Yours is shiny though. Someone must have removed the coolant trays from yours. That mill is a beast! Wonder how a fella could machine those dished parts without that fancy cutter or a cnc. Oops, seen you comment below about the custom made tool. Now I need to be on the lockout for a giant bearing ball/roller.

I think it's 4140 but I'm not sure. It was pretty hard as it was so we didn't heat treat it. Thanks for watching 😊

Any idea what metal it is?

When you were milling the edges around the 3mimuet mark, is there a reason why you had to remove the scale first, rather than let the mill do it for you? Excuse my ignorance if there is an obvious reasons why you can not. Seems like it would save a step, but my metal working experience is limited to my shop brake, and building my own custom roof flashing's as needed.

@GreenridgeMetalWorks

Scale is extremely hard on carbide milling inserts and carbide inserts are kinda expensive. In addition, if you mill the scale it will get all over the mill, rust and scale are abrasive and are bad for the mill. Great question, thanks for watching 😊
