Rigoni Ironworks

Rigoni Ironworks

Hello there! My name is John Rigoni and I run a small shop with the intent to create ironwork that is both elegant and useful. My goal for this channel is to push the craft forward, one project at a time. An anonymous quote that has stuck with me over the years, drives my obsession (paraphrased):

"Of all the elements of the gods, man stole fire. And with it, forged his will upon the World."

All the best, Forge the World.

    What kind of steel is your 'positive' (the ball) made from? I tried this using a hardened chrome ball bearing and it squashed the bearing flat.

  • @rigoniironworks
    @rigoniironworksАй бұрын

    weird, I just used chrome and kept the dies hot and cooled the bearing between heats.

    Как сложно понять англоговорящих... Зубило - chisel, стамеска - chisel, резец для токарного деревообрабатывающего станка - тоже chisel😳. Сиди и думай до самого конца видео - а что же это будет😁. Интрига. Иии, да... По истечении 4 минут и 30 секунд я так и не понял предназначение именно данных chisels🤣

    Isn't your pitch exceedingly hard? It would be too hard for Repousse work. My pitch is 50% resin, and 40% castor oil with the last 10% being beeswax and charcoal. If I want it harder, I'll add a bit of marble dust (I found plaster would clump and it was hard to get it smooth) but marble dust works well, and I can get it free from places that make monuments and gravestones.

    No, I would just coat in beeswax or mineral oil for that use. Iron spoons aren't great for eating with since you can taste the metal.

    Big Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge. Been smithing for 15 yrs. Your methods and tools and tooling make so much sense. I’m learning so much , I can hardly believe how each step is thought out,even to stop on a project to check on the bees. I’m thinking more instead of rushing through to finish the job. It seems as some of your videos are not on line any longer? I would be interested in a collection of all your videos on dvd ? Again Thank You for sharing.
