great to see someone finally use a filtered Lense designed for welding well done.

You and your friends were both right and both wrong about the metallurgy debate. Here is why: Your friends are correct. Steel is an isotropic material, meaning that its properties are the same in all directions. However, true isotropic steel is very rare. In nearly all steel there are impurities and physical defects such as inclusions. These impurities and defects are anisotropic, meaning that their properties vary in different directions. Hot rolling steel (into a bar for example) lines up the impurities and defects along the direction of rolling until they are like the long spaghetti looking grains in wood. So in this respect you were correct. Hot rolling steel does not align the grains of the steel itself though, so in this respect your friends were correct. The impurities in steel do not affect many of the properties that we ultimately use to calculate a steels "strength", so in this respect your friends were correct. However, the impurities do affect how ductile the steel is. As a result the steel will be more ductile along the direction it was rolled, and more brittle perpendicular to the rolled direction. The cracking when you bent the nail over was not a strength issue, it was due to inadequate ductility. It was happening because the steel was not very ductile (aka it was brittle) along the length of the nail when the nail was cut from the stock perpendicular to the rolled direction. However the steel was much more ductile (aka less brittle) along the nails length when the nail was cut from the stock parrallel to the direction that the bar was rolled. So what you observed happening in the two differently cut nails makes perfect sense, but not for the exact reasons you thought it did. I will let you and your mates sort out who was ultimately right and who was wrong. However, as I see it you were both wrong and both right at the same time - just about different things. Cheers, Leo

If you gotta make a product and has to look similar, that is a magnificent way of doing that.

First, this is a wonderful video detailing precisely how ancient peoples forged the future through sheer determination and insane focus. Back in the late 1970's I took it up the task of building myself a 17th century Colonial ( Massachusetts, New England) timber frame home and in the course taught myself rudimentary blacksmithing. The one piece nail header you made is mostly correct for wire nails. Smiths would buy or even make their own round stock. Often, two wires would be forged together or folded back on itself without actually welding it to achieve thickness. This is seen in clapboard nails from the period that are oddly split lengthwise (I've scrounged nail kegs full of nails from burnt or rotting houses - I worked as a carpenter back then). The wire was shaped over the horn as the curve of the horn can clearly be seen in the old forged nails. SHape was usually tapered rectangular. Clapboard nails came to a fine point indicating pre drilling a hole - probably with a small gimlet the sidewaller carried in his apron. Nails were generally 2.5 inches long with distinctive small "ears " at the four corners of the head, not the familiar rose head nails which would be too big for clapboards. These were always pure wrought iron so as not to bleed through the whitewash or paint. Flooring nails resemble your sheared nails in shape and 6 inches long to go through 2 layers of flooring into the joists. The interesting point is that most nails were actually cold-headed. This was done in a vise resembling a leatherworkers stitching horse but foot operated, called a nailer's horse. Using a peening hammer, the trick is to glance a blow to one corner creating an ear that held the headless nail from being driven through the anvil portion. The other three ears were similarly struck. Interestingly, this was often work farmed out to locals who "headed" for extra income. Your one-piece header would be used in a similar manner in the pritchart hole for true rose head nails and simply upended and the cooling nail tapped out. The only thing you have wrong is the shallow domes on both your tools. They should be Mt Fuji shaped because period rose headed nails are mushroom shaped underneath, not flat, as if having little aprons. This allowed them to either bite into the wood or set smoothly onto an iron bar without raised jagged edges catching a passing finger. Computer tech think they are so clever, but NOTHING compared to a 17th century country blacksmith. Love the blower set up for you forge chimney! Peace brother (I've been waiting fifty years to tell someone all that)

I am using an induction heater to heat up bronze rod that I am then pressing into a die to make carriage bolts for my wooden boat. I built the induction heater from an old microwave oven transformer. You could stick your nail stock into the heater's coil, get it red hot in a few seconds, turn to the power hammer and have it slam the hot stock between two dies, which also cuts it. I'll bet that the shake when the hammer retracts will cause the nail to fall out of the die, and into a strategically placed pail of water. In the meantime you are heating the next section of your raw stock wich is shortly to become the next nail. Rinse and repeat. The links at the bottom should give you some ideas. The heaters are easy to build, low voltage, and the coil will not burn you, only the stock being heated. BTW, I love your channel and your power hammer design is brilliant! I can't wait to build one for myself. Ohh, i also have no doubt that Arduino will be no problem for a guy like you.

You're absolutely correct on the grain structure of rolled (especially cold rolled) steel: the uniform grains formed when the steel is initially cast in pigs elongate as the metal is stretched by rolling (or forging), and the metal is more likely to fail in tension (which is where the failure starts if you bend a thin piece like a nail) along the grain boundaries than through a grain. This is why forged steel is stronger (in the correct direction, at least) than cast steel -- the grain structure acts almost like wood grain (and much more so in wrought iron than in modern steel). When you "normalize" those nails, you allow the metal to recrystallize, returning to the random structure of unworked metal (annealing does this more thoroughly, while normalizing locks some of the structure into the "hot" structure when the metal cools).

@joshuadelisle

8 ай бұрын

Thank you so much. Cheers J

Another place the grain direction is vital is making blades, if you ever watch Forged in fire where they forge blades in a competition format you'll see blades snap often, and an "expert" look at the break blaming large grain structure and hardness when in fact they never reset that grain structure before hardening. It applies to other items too, you made a more important point than just nails.

From what I remember he said that to normalize the grain structure, you had to heat the metal up to the Currie Point ! That is to the point, where the metal looses it's magnetic properties !! Even after it's cooled, the metal will be normalized.....! Until you start hammering or working it ! Ever noticed that when you had a piece of yellow hot iron rod in the forge, then hold a magnet near.... no attraction ! But if you were to take that same iron rod and start hammering on one end it, as it cools down. Take the same rod near some nails, you will find that the rod has turned into a magnet !! PS: You are doing a Great Job !!

@@joshuadelisle the Curie temperature is where the steel gets hot enough that the kinetic energy from heat is high enough to fully randomise the magnetic domains of the steel, leading to no effective overall field. Once it cools, they can become aligned again.

First time I ever heard anyone explain that subscribing is free. I'd had people ask me about that. Very good comment. How will people know if someone doesn't mention it?

Brilliant video with clear information. You have earned yourself a subscriber 😀

Tanks you. This Video is full of really interesting tricks than I will use for sure. First time I see your videos I subscribe for sure. (For your weld breaks off problem, you just have to heat your bigger piece first (cherry red) and the weld will be stronger) from North Est Canada. Merci beaucoup

Awesome vid thankyou! Subscribed!!

quite interesting s7 would be an awesome material for this application

J.D. Leftwich had the misfortune recently to tear the flesh of one of his fingers on a rusty nail. The wound apparently healed, but last week blood poison symptoms were apparent and the services of Dr. Hamilton were required. At this writing the hand is much improved.

Nice work! Thanks!

outside looking in... sticking with the 2 piece header, make the spring to where it holds it slighty open, and matching steps on either side, set it in the post vice, close vice, insert blank nail, hammer away, open vice finished nail drops out (or a little tap to get gravity in motion) chuck in fresh blank, repeat until done
