The Complete Metalsmith, McCreight
Running Time: 80 minutes
Tom McCreight demonstrates many of the basic
techniques of jewelrymaking, including piercing,
soldering, forging, stone setting and cold

DVD5
The Fly Press, Crouchet
Running Time: 42 minutes.
Used in the jewelry industry for hundreds of years,
where it is known as a screw press, the fly press
is becoming an increasingly popular tool for the
blacksmith. This machine allows the smith to
accomplish many operations on cold steel that
could formerly only be done “hot”. Obviously, this is
a great advantage in increasing speed and precision
in your work. In “The Fly press”, you will learn to evaluate used
fly presses, what to look for in a new press, how to make tooling,
and much more. John also demonstrates many common blacksmith
operations on the fly press such as making tenons, veining,
straightening stock, bending precise circles and hot stamping. All of
these techniques are shown to you in the exceptional way that Love
of Art Productions has come to be known for - clearly, up close, and
easily understood. John Crouchet says, “if you’re working cold you
may be making money!” What a novel idea!

so you don’t have to go searching, you can go right
to the sections you want.” Using some scrap metal,
learn how to make a tool so you can mount your
electric drill in a vice which will keep both hands free
for wire brushing or buffing.
DVD6
Forged Animal Heads, Epps
Running Time: 32 minutes.
This tape is the first in a series featuring Mesquite,
Texas blacksmith, Bill Epps. A nice introductory
collage of images, underscored by folk music and
a quote form Longfellow’s “The Blacksmith”, gives
the viewer a clue that these videos are going to
be different from most of what’s out there on the
how-to market. In this video the viewer learns the
steps in creating several novelty animal heads out of square stock
and a novelty horse out of a horseshoe (Epps began his career
as a farrier). The artist also discusses ideas on applications for
the items shown. A “chalkboard’ segment introduces each item,
breaking down the process of creating the heads and showing how
the shape of the steel should change in each step. Epps includes
tips on technique, including a discussion of the molecular structure
of steel and why a smith makes his steel “square, then round”, and
how to use a cross-peen hammer correctly. Forge-welding can be
clearly seen in the making of one of the pieces, and Epps gives
tips to the beginning blacksmith on how to get a good forge weld.

Goehl explains the tools that he uses, how to use
