ye the titamium i forge was eazy it forged like mild steel only softer and yes dont try to forge it to cold alawys keep it hoter the 900 c a bit lower but to move it best over 900 i made a flower from a lump 2'' round 2'' long moony

hi all i made curtain ring in my home for our widows the rod is 1'' solid bar long enough to coverthe window with 2.1/2 ''forged steel balls on the end the large rings are 1/2 bar in to a ring 3'' inside diamitor i made a turning mandrel with a crank handle i made like it was a coil spring enough to make 8 in one batch heat the small rings i found old coil spring from roller door i cut with 1mm vip cut disc then close on to large ring it all looks a reet over the window also made small brackets to hold it all up i made good browny points with darling lololol

with a anyang an many other air hammers there is no real exhaust out let tha anyang exaust under the fly wheel so no place to put a pipe massey under the frame some of the other fabricated hammers blow out a small pipe these you might be able to duct but its the smak that is the trouble with noise notso much the air you can build asound proof room to have the hammer if that one way to shut it up lolol

DO NOT TURN IT ON WILL BE THE BEST

hello to all yes jim has it about right i used timbers under my 7cwt massey but i not have nexty worries there are a few insulator pads the jame walker stuff i have information on and it looks a good product and to have 2 concrete foundation is another idea the first is a think base slb with the pad on top then anothe concrete block pour on top this block is the full main block and then in the pit where the anvil is set u put mor pads under tyhe anvil then put the hammer frame on top all bolted down with the tee head bolts in the tube set up and you should not have ground vibration travel theres a bit more to keep the side walls of the top slab block away from the sides of the hole but i not going in to full details moony
