This 2.5 pound rounding hammer is in stock and available to ship out right away! I played around with the proportions a little bit while I was forging it and I think it looks nice, it’s a little bit different than the look of the 2 1/2 pound hammers that I typically sell. If you’re interested in it, send me a direct message letting me know you want it before you order it on my website so I can make sure this particular one goes to your name.
Also, as you heard in the video, Glen Campbell says “hello”. That’s nice of him eh?
Thanks for lookin’

Forging a 16 pound sledgehammer without a manservant anywhere in sight!
This is the 3rd 16 pounder I’ve done for a customer.

We are trying to bring back to life the London Machine Tool Company lathe. It swings about 5 feet in the gap and 38 inches over the bed. It might just be big enough to turn the tires on my small steam locomotive. I’m really looking forward to having this all come together.

These eyebolts were made for a 1896 printing press that is operational at the Fort Steele Heritage Town. I’m thankful for the opportunity to work on this, it was a fun project!
Did I mention my @timothy.dyck 50 Cal center punch?!
Tim gave it to me as a Christmas gift a couple years ago, I like it, and use it all the time, thanks Tim!

Here is everything I can cram in about rounding hammers in 1 minute. There’s more to them, especially a forged one in the style of Brian Brazeal, but that can be a subject for another video.
I’ve been making and using hammers like this for over 10 years now! Wow how time flies.

Fixing a silage cutter feed roller. A bit of a farmer fix, but then again I have lots of farmer blood in me.

The steam loco tried to escape! It wanted to hide from my cutting torch I figure…

Forging and finishing a small 2.5 pound axe in a minute and a half. I’m not much of an axe maker so I learn a little bit each time I make them. I have yet to make two axes that look the same because I keep trying different things each time… someday I’ll figure it out.
Enjoy!

It’s been a while since I’ve done an “All About” type video! I just recently got this drill up and running and ready for service, so enjoy this summary of the history and use of this machine tool.

Replacing the smoke box on a steam locomotive or steam tractor is a routine part of many restorations. Here’s my quick explanation about it.

I had the fantastic opportunity to spend a couple of days firing the #107 at the @fortedmontonpark and I have been learning lots from the crew there. I had never fired with an oil burner before, and I must say, it’s quite nice. Almost feels like cheating…

This is the opening teaser for the full video of loading and moving my steam loco. I put more time into creating this latest YouTube video than any other video yet, not to mention the 3 days of time that @timothy.dyck spent filming. Check it out if you want. The link will be in my profile.

This could be another edition of “Have a listen to what my mentor told me about…”
We had time to capture a few stories during the days when we were moving my steam locomotive home. Here’s a quick one that was worth sharing in its own video.
