    If you do a similar project, make your life easier by doing a right hand and left hand twist on the bar ends, Fit up will be much simpler.

    You could do a collar weld if you want to build up a large rivet head, it's one of the easiest forge welds. Then just forge it to shape with...hammer and vise, hammer and bolt heading plate, swage block and monkey tool....

    Go to a bigger forge and get a couple of strikers, THAT"S a good time!

    Happy with my Peddinghaus 75 Kg anvil (160#) that I bought for portability. Very hard face, nice shape, really like the double horn design. Rings like a bell l l l l l l l l l.

    I have a 230 pound Wilkinson. says Queens Cross on the side. It's in a little better shape. Bought it from an old fellow for $35 but he said to buy it I had to take it right then. From his basement, and no, I couldn't go and get help or a hand truck, right now or never, I did it, one step at a time, and slid it down his front hall on an upside down car floor mat.

    I added an "enonomizer" from the tank I have a regulator, a 1/4 turn ball valve (#1) , then a tee. one leg of the tee has a needle valve set for lighting and "idle" the other leg has a 1/4 turn ball valve (#2). both legs tie back together and feed into the burner manifold. This lets me open the first ball valve (#1)and light the burner without too much FUN. The the other ball valve (#2) is then opened to heat the stock. Just before I pull it out, I close the #2 ball valve, and the forge goes to "idle" using less fuel and making it easier to manipulate the stock in and out of the forge
