Hot dog in a bun weld VIDEO

Thanks MQQN. It is a bit hard to understand, I love video if a picture's worth a thousand words video's worth a million :D Recording actually wasn't too bad, I borrowed my bro's tripod which made the whole thing ALOT easier.
 
That looks like a lot of fun, Sam. I couldn't hear if you said it, but what were the different types of steel you were using?
 
Nice vid, not bad for that small of shop, wish it could of played through, maybe should of turned of hammer and explained what you were going to do first. You guys are spoiled with those power hammers, can't wait till i can get one. Surprised you can weld insert piece cold? just annealed tool steel? I have many ?'s but too tired...arm hurts...thanks again....
 
Can you get an AC adapter for that video camera ? Then you won't have to worry about batteries . I use one on my camera [non-video] when doing studio type work.

BTW , Sam stick to blacksmithing , don't be like your neighbors !

Don't be like my neighbors? I have an AC adapter I just got to find it. I think i'll be in the shop Monday doing some more of this Robert if you want to stop by.

Mook, I used mild steel for the bun and 1084 for the dog. I am thinking I might have to go higher carbon like W1 or W2, to account for any migration that occurs.

Gresham, What part did you want to play through, the forging to shape? Sorry for lack of an explanation, basically it was put a groove in the mild steel, then bang in the good steel piece to fit in the groove, then forge weld it all into one piece. I did not weld the insert piece cold, I fit it in then compressed the steel around it to hold the piece in, then took another heat on the whole thing and forge welded it.
 
Sam nice job on that one but I got to know what kind of hammer that is I want one.just the size I need if you could pm some details that would be great.

Whoops! Sorry for the late replies guys.

Butch, I think i'll try just that :D

Brett and Jim, it is an Anyang, the 33 pound model. James Johnson of AnyangUSA.net imports them. They make a 20, 33, 55, 88, and 165 and even bigger models. James is a great guy to deal with too. I love it! Strong with lots of control, can't say enough good about it.
 
sam nice job man!! did I hear you right?? you haven't been there for a year??

steel storage, anvil storage, belt storage :D I love it.. wonder how much memory you'd need if you didn't have your hydro hammer..

take care
 
Sam, I notice you're forging with the roll door cracked about a foot, but no vent hood over the forge.

Is it safe to just have a small fan pulling out of the lower gap on the garage door, since carbon monoxide is heavier than air?

The reason I'm asking is my shop is in my 2-car garage, and my homeowner's association won't allow me to cut a hole in the wall to install a vent hood...

Thanks,

Robert
 
Rob, yeh only once or twice in a year. Cannot IMAGINE trying to do this without the hammer, I'd still be at it LOL.

Robert, I don't worry too much about carbon monoxide, the door is open enough I have a constant breeze rolling through the shop so it's no biggy. Do you have a window? Make a insert that fits into the open window with a hole in it, then install a fan.
