I do good just forging something around 1/2"-3/4" around. I can't imagine the heat this thing put off while you were working it. I was wondering what it is for also.

Kallsme’n,
Thank You for the post.
Sharing your photos with us is a part of what makes IFI interesting and informative.
I am half Swedish. So maybe I could forge something half as large as that.

Working in (rather than on) big steel! I like it.

Did this a few weeks ago, similar. Similar and identical are similar, but they are not identical.

Default big nut
Roger - why not forge it to a hex shape on the outside so there is less machining to be done? - JK
