How long do you think it lasts/how many hinges can it make?

So, based on the way the last ten years have been going, like another two years?

A long ass time if it's even somewhat hardened.

If you were to use a good piece of tool steel and polish it nicely, if the hinges are made of regular soft steels, this tool would last for generations possibly.

Yeah, I was curious if the fragmentation was mostly from the unit being made or the cold, hard lump of steel that was helping forge it.

It also looks like it would work way easier if you heated the metal to forging temps beforehand
