Nice hammer, Dale! Aint power fun?  I love the flame cut pulley. How did you fashion the Vee groove? Inquiring minds want to know

Scott , i took some 18 mm x 6 mm ( 3/4" x 1/4" ) flat , heated it in forge , pulled it around the outside of the pulley , let it cool , the ARC welded 1 end to the outside ( just past the edge ) , then pulled in & clamped it all the way around ( tacking as i went ) . Once in place it was just a matter of making sure it was flush with the main body of pulley & finish welding . Then i just pried them both out to fit an " A " section v-belt .......  Still need to " find " a v-belt to fit it , i've been using " hay bail twine " as a belt ..... works for me ..... Dale Russell
