Blacksmithing - Railroad Spike Pizza Cutter - Full Version

[Music] hi guys thought I'd do a video today honestly I was looking around trying to come up with an idea and there's so many things I want to do that include a lot of for swelling and I okay mentioned in previous video I have too many projects that were out right now that I don't want a lot of sparks flying around by anyway I came up with this idea it's like how can we do that I think we can and going back to the spikes we haven't done a spike video in a long time I gotta make I should make a blind for this thing that's what I should do anyway can I take two spikes again I don't wanna do a lot of forwards well but maybe one more won't disrupt the other project boards well these two together draw them out enough to itch it into a blade so that I can end up with let's see how I want those to go like that alright a pizza cutter all right it might be a neat little trick a little practice in Forge welding we kind of already have scarfs already made not perfect but close enough so I'm gonna start off I'm just gonna grind off the rust off the ends of these we'll get these up to temperature we'll see if we get them to stick that'll be it that'll definitely be a decent test as to the you know the how well that Forge weld steps up so we're gonna try to do hopefully it doesn't fail if it does um I'll let you see it anyway pizza cutter out of two merits buttons see if I'm doing all right I'm gonna go ahead during the four as well I'm gonna put the heads up like that so I got a little chance for some pressure will overlap them a little bit like I said they're almost scarfed is as we would do that and we'll see what we end up with using the fire get them nice and hot I get them slowly heated up all right so we got at least a good part of this these two spikes at a decent temperature we don't want to heat them fast look too far line I've seen those scars up because they are at the wrong angle this so I'm just gonna bring down low so that they fly all right on the back spike tapers in both directions almost almost not enough yeah we're just know this one want to go the other way with yes come on confuse now we both want and wanna make that go flat against the better all right each one of these we want to get a little fluff on we're at get a little flux out on this one's gonna be the backside again because it is not a super high carbon steel probably do this without blocks why take the risk take the risk but here's it gonna be tough bringing them both out at once get them lined up and getting that first that's the thing that scares you well let's get them up to temperature and we'll see where we go from there it's probably gonna be hope gay so the trick here is gonna be bringing them both up to temperature getting them out in an efficient manner getting them set and then getting it Lisa well I hit or two on there so I'm kind of practicing with my tongs come out this one this one I said one on this opposite direction all right they're getting pretty damn close temperature now to set one put the other set up it's on and hopefully good at least one stick before anything crazy happens practice practice practice [Music] [Applause] not something I do very often when I'm doing a lap overlap for 12 separate [Music] to be melting I'm trying to bring both up around the same temperature those possible as I can [Music] but [Music] they're everyone's letting magic that's for sure yes the start of the fireflies usually when I think [Music] two pieces up same time [Music] all right so this is what you get not being paid when we try we're just gonna pull blocks out bringing back the temperature again I think they were hot now before I lost that I'm soaked it for a second year and see they're both ready right on the job all stop may be made careful how much trouble that sighs it sure don't look okay that afraid but it's a start we can keep that start and I feel I'll take care of her so we're gonna go ahead I lost you get Pichai and Channing we're closed it's right one more time but I don't have a lot of faith in retries I'll tell you that something simple as this freakin Seong Jae's can't wait up I have one set that worse one set that it is really designed to stop making excuses Chandler let's see if we get it down the next thing you only have it freakin half a second to get everything that I need to be all right the yell and that they're hot and not forget figure out definitely not the one was anyway a little on the too hot side that's good that's good see if we keep stuck I don't think I think the last time it was just the flux cooling down that Adam stuck before [ __ ] splatter in a head-on light and we'll take it back in I want to brush it off but I don't dare and see if we get that up shirt again right there in the middle maybe mess that we got going on up across your fingers extend an awkward shape I can't get the kink that I want on it don't know for sure if I'm in the right temperature or not come off these QT will work anyway [Music] that piece over there this side good that side that is still scaring the crap on me I don't want to go too thin I don't know this looks like it's gonna be a bit of a failure today feel the heat see what have to see we close yourself [Music] now is that that's where I want the thickest part of the steel be silly George well took which I'm tell me right now I can see a crack in there that tells me that it's probably not very good but my to my out to my point I actually can't believe it but I kind of want to upset against that fort well which is stupid and I'm not confident before 12:00 you did you do the - I can see that this topic is done right just as a sake of argument right here you can see a line you should never proceed and then right now I fight about working on a project I take the taking a video let's all learn together I don't want to fail though so we'd really like to upset that Center some more I don't know we'll see we'll see what I do see that's part of the reason why you do this scarf in the first place is the overlap that feels so that as you're hammering in the well it's gonna thin stuff from your hands on something you know what I mean so it gives you some extra steel to work I think it's gonna fail anyway [Music] it seems a lot of things presented as successful well that I can sell it off about that ones it's scary you said I could clean up the mega I'm not going to just go ahead start flattening it out see what happens so I know I'm gonna pick up link I don't really want a whole lot of that I'm mostly after quit so I'm gonna use the four pound cross beam when I'm be working this area tell you right now going all the way down to there that's right there so I don't think it's gonna work for love maybe we'll cheese other than me [Music] the question wasn't can you afford 12 freaking to railroad spikes together we visually pretty much any buddy can that's a pretty simple thing to do so next the project was freaking out pizza cutter out of these if it's possible so I am gonna cheat right now number for 12 days for time gonna make weld these cracks up JIT and we'll see it if you're but we're going to temp this project and get a good for 12 whether or not we can get a pizza cutter out all right so there's my cheat all the way around just the outside I'd say 2 there and a little more on this side maybe not much farther on here that's what I'd like if we get it I don't know two swipes for a 12-inch pizza I'm gonna be right this edge up a little bit not much more actually a little bit more this other side to try to make it about even around [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so rough and it's a friggin railroad spike to think so turn it around we'll get this handle centered up and then we'll try drawing out that blade a little and hopefully that'll put enough curve in and make us what we look now that blades all [Music] I don't want straight up to down because a dynamic of the bleed do we reopen Natalie if you'd want to roll so like this just about a curve like that a little bit [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] bit more of a curve I'm afraid I don't think that would keep your knuckles out of the pizza a little bit more the curve can't go much thinner on that edge though so we'll throw a curve in there manually so again I'm just trying to myself a little buckle space you think back where they belong sent your eyes anyway stuff like that anyway [Music] bird on the other side some symmetry going on here what it looks not too bad right there okay you wanna lined up and it's kind of lined up set it straight and again I don't mind her looking a little bit on the rough side kinda like that actually actually I kind of like what we got going right there that's it cuz I think knuckles I think it'll be all right I think it'll give you a bit room maybe a little bit more curve would be good oh yeah let's put a little more edge from the side but I guessed it on this side I like that besides with symmetry gosh it was good all right let's get her line back up again there's now a wall not bad at all bad it's all perfectly ruff-ruff I'll normalize this once won't take more than once a little bit wish that wasthat wasn't there as much but like I said I want it to be gnarly we'll get her on the grinder and I don't think this is something like this needs to be hardened quite honestly so we'll just get it on the grinder get in that giant and right because you don't yeah it's not gonna need you it isn't like once you hardened of spike get away it ain't like but it does Harden but once you meet normalize this talk myself out of it but no I don't believe I want to hurt you I'm flexible so we'll Neal it Neal the blade and then we'll grind her up I set a meal I met normals normalized weight up to temperature and let her cool slowly now I'll take you along on the cleanup on this because I'm seriously I really want this to look I want this to look rough so I'm just gonna employ a brush the whole thing that's as much as I'm gonna do with finish on it and then just go ahead and grind in the the the edge on simple as that dirty dirty dirty okay that's what I want go ahead I'm just gonna even help this edge so it is so it's not quite so wobbly and then we'll cut a convex on there come back so yeah that's the best way to go and we might just season it up in some oil all right to give it you know look like you would have cast iron think to give us some protection [Music] that's 80 grit 80 or 60 so I'll just come down a little bit just to give it a little bit of a cleaner chances are I'll hit it again just to after I season it just to give it a little bit more of a sexier look make you be able to that part that the pita pizzas pretty recent thing we got here big jump down that's terrific surfing I wanted to be able its season it up see my gonna order you guys a pizza so we can see how it works god I think it's gonna work great really do let me see what a pizza cost yeah hi my order small cheese pizza uncut please yes no cuts all right great thank you very what I do for you guys sorry I'm a hoarder small I don't need feets it doesn't do over my belly we have ten minutes so let's go ahead and get this thing heated up again 400 degrees or so a little bit out of oil and I'll get it seasoned up in a while that's cool I'm gonna go get some pizza I'll just drill that sucker on there ain't gonna take a whole lot to bring it up Chandler would you be bonding your fingers this is that this is the walkway of seasoning of something all right weighs one degrees in the oven put some olive oil on it oh my gosh just gloves on backwards for tension and then let her cook off for an hour to do it again and again and again and again but we're not going to do it all that because we're not going to do it like that I got one finger without a finger so let's not forget what we do to be happy happy happy so some olive oil I'll show or wavy on temperature by now but in singing I am oh yeah could she start to turn blue there that oil will cook on namo eyes just let us sit there for a while don't use your otherwise you will be weakened up quick that's it for a second we put another coat on or to just cook up she's smoking like that you know you're doing the right thing don't lose focus she's hot again this is a quick way to do it but it's just keep wiping it with oil in there cook I'll be back in a minute again don't you cast-iron slope don't be don't be yelling at me I know we got a video we're trying to make less than three hours long just so polluting the crap out of it actually you don't lightly coated that's what you should do this leather cook almost the same as a wax treatment beeswax which probably wouldn't be horrible for this beeswax along with these linseed oil and mineral spirits away but if you got her cooking like if you got our smoking like that and then you were to let that sucker just do its thing for a while and do it again and again here you get that good code better smoking all right if you don't cook her enough you'll end up with something sticky when I was first doing my pants first couple of shows I want to I had tried doing no I had done them in the oven but I just didn't let them soak long enough instead of an hour or so I do half an hour I don't know I don't but if she gets hot enough she cooks in without burning you know it's just cooking in that actually creates an animal a nice coating what I thought you would probably consider that the wrong term nice nice protective coating that's for sure huan'er degrees let it sit there for an hour and this casual is cool down that smoke is a good sign you want sneaks up the house when you do it a home that's what I do it here if I can if I'm you know if I'm doing a painting there are not anymore we wants to pick up a sticky man that's for sure leather smoke smoke then again we didn't harm this because that only needs to be a really tough piece of mild steel when just fine a lot of the Pete's cutters are simply what the 300 series stainless and anything special [Music] not feeling overly guilty about not hardening yes and if you wanted to simple enough to do especially the way we did this this one right now let's we're didn't even clean it up I want it ugly except to the edge water smoking fans blowing smoke there's much today love day I think that's enough she's hot we'll let that stuff cool for a few minutes and I'm just gonna hit it with the grinder again because I like to see that shiny aged and we'll see what we got all right she's still a little warm so put gloves on I shouldn't wear gloves near this thing I don't want to wear you know no mine's not up here there's too much of a pinch potential there hopefully I guess it's like putting up that edge a little bit just to satisfy channel I think I can do that relatively safely that's you a little sharper than I want her to be but I think not too bad at all we'll set that comes the fan and the movie beats it I see you all in a little while [Music] [Music] let's see how this sucker works all right see we end up with here no not Wow I guess the only at one stage Street so that's not a small oh yeah here's the the pizza cutter normally you're out you're not doing this up store walk people so your honor keep the pen or something but anyway let's see oh she works oh yeah perfect that's that I'm a pizza connoisseur in any means but yeah perfect a little higher on the handles wouldn't hurt I'd recommend anything would be that actually turning the handles the other way around oh yeah putting the points up that way you got a little more room to play let me get my show that's the nice thing about you know we seasoned everything except for that edge that ads are gonna get oil on it every time you cut pieces just to wipe wipe and hang the way up the way put away and there you have it let's see what these taste like and then see that owning Pete's much that's well that's a good ass piece [Laughter] yep cuz very well hang in sir I do love pizza pizza just don't love me well there you have it so again it's not the prettiest thing in the world we really failed on a 4-12 now a couple things that were seeing them as I was getting the pizza cuz the key is we didn't spend a lot of time cleaning it up it's nice quick project please it's so hard to go to a show or online or whatever and sell somebody a $150 $100 pizza cutter it's just Susan Mick doesn't make sense a little more on the handles they thinker and flip the handles around is what I would do but I was wondering if I had flattened these first and then 412 them together I might have had more surface area for welding that might have made it a little bit more successful yeah there was it there was I think that was the only change besides up putting the handles rough in the training handles around put a twist on it again it took me I don't know maybe two hours hour and a half but that's what the seasoning and everything to you know so if you did three or four these at the same time I think you can get these things done in an hour especially once you master the the welding part even if you cheat and just Forge your flat weld it and continue forging so you make this in an hour mister yourself for 50 60 bucks and I think $50 for something handmade like this I think is there's a decent price you'll probably get fifty dollars thirty five to fifty dollars for sure so there you have it hope you enjoyed it and one pizza cutter yeah they one pizza slicer where she wasn't still went but only one pizza trying to get the money shot here yeah out of a couple revered space thanks for watching check out well check out
