  2. Nice job! What is causing the little shake in the video? Is the hammer vibrating the camera? It looks like a wince or flinch of the eye at each blow. It also looks like a thermal shock wave.
  3. No the ends were cut on an Amada laser that my buddy owns. The ends are removable. Here's a pic of the tube with the flat bar rings before welding. I'm gonna post all the picks on flickr as I go.
  4. Here's a pic of the beginning of my first gas forge. More pics and details to follow.
  5. I think I'll cut my piece down to 34" and plan on 4" of tooling on anvil and hammer weight.
  6. Well, I don't think putting the anvil end into the floor would make my landlord very happy. The anvil is 8x10x44 and I would to use as much as possible. The column is 2 pcs. of w12 26 welded together and boxed with 12"x1/4" plate. I plan to fill the column with lead, approx 3500 lbs.
  7. Thanks I don't know since I've never worked on one. I have a friend in Burbank with a Sahinler maybe I should go visit him. The work and welding tables in my shop are about 40" that is about what I was thinking. I've heard an anvil should be about knuckle high, but that has to be too low for a power hammer. Doug
  8. Whats a good way to determine the best height for the top of the anvil on a power hammer? I have a chunk of steel 44" long and I want to use as much as possible. Thanks Doug Walker
