All those horns stink!! Deer, Caribou, etc...

Have one side roughed in but the other side is giving me a PITA!! Boiled it again today back in the vice! Spending way to much time on these! Learned a bunch though! If I ever do this again I'll do things a bit differently for sure. I can't see me doing them in the near future though! Gonna need...

Looks GREAT Opaul!! That piece of wood is awesome!!

Beautiful work!!

I remember reading about it but can't place the name!! I will keep an eye out though!

Isn't someone building one for around 800 bucks??

Boiled and back in the vice! Hopefully the curl that occurred after I removed it from the vice will be gone or removable with some sanding?? These are a lot of work and as I said I won't be doing them again. Does it work yes but a jigged bone would be a better choice IMO? Anyway I will follow up...

Update, I let these dry for a week they took some of the curve back so I have to boil and clamp them again. I did get 1 crack not gonna be a problem though. The problem is I used a Sharpie on the antler to rough cut the slabs and it stained the antler! I think there is enough to cut around...

Their dipping into everything! Good to know!

Still a Chinese hammer at twice the price but I've been considering them. Blacksmith Supply is in PA and I could drive there to save shipping cost? IDK! Wish I could find one used localish! Apparently that's a pipe dream!

I have to really read all of it close. Gather my questions and send an email! If I can find it!

I'd be lying if I told you I didn't have concerns! Motor not to worried about from what I can tell 3HP 240VAC 50HZ or 60HZ should work here, plus easy enough to change, do not know what dies come with it, my biggest concern is does it come a base? I was hoping someone here had bought a...

Sound mind i understand and would love to, but I know of no US companies that make a self-contained pneumatic power hammer. I know there are companies that make pneumatic hammers that require separate compressors to run them but my shop is small and I would prefer to have it all contained. If...

Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out! $4,671.93 | 240Volt Single Phase Motor Blacksmith Power Forging Hammer Air Hammer 25KG https://a.aliexpress.com/_mO2ZPJG Don't know if link will show up or not but I looked up, "Pneumatic Hammer".

I've been considering buying a power-hammer from one of these (I know technically their the same company) companies. My question is, has anyone on here ordered a large heavy piece of equipment from either one of them? How did the process go was it smooth any hiccups? I'm sure Ali-Express will...

You should have seen me cranking the vice!! Close eyes, turn head, crank 1/2 a turn, listen, look, repeat! LOL!!

Opaul your a machine!! LOL!! Looks great!!

That's right, antler scales. I have a customer that wants an EDC knife with antler scales (was last deer granpa harvested with my customer before he passed). I had never seen them? Have seen Antler handles but never scales. I decided to try and make them! I had read an article about boiling...

Looks good to me! I have a few commissions to get done. When those are down the road I think I may try one of these again!

More rebound is better for sure. The big German anvil in the video would be the best choice then the first one and lastly the round piece of steel. The thing is any of them will work! If your starting to forge spending a lot of money for an anvil is a waste. You have no likes dislikes or...
