    I just did the square bar test on my 85lb. Kane and Roach mechanical hammer. High yellow heat, off the shelf a36 hot rolled, numbers are the average of 3 tests. 5 blows- .877 inch 10 blows- .721 inch I run this hammer at 200bpm, slower than optimal for drawing but I use a fair number of top tools so need a little better control. 6.25in max. of daylight between dies when adjusted for 1in. stock.

    If you don't let it get too cold and therefore stiff I recommend Naguahide, or vinyl based fake leather, as a low cost alternative to leather or canvass. Available at most fabric stores for a lot less money than canvass, and holes can be patched by gluing another piece over top of the hole with contact cement.

    If you can tig, as you said in your post, get some tig brazing rod and use that combined with Warren's timing suggestions. However, your hood will remove more smoke if you get rid of that old one and make a sheet metal one with a 12 inch dia. stack on top of it. At the very least you will want to add a back panel and some partial sides to that antique hood to improve draw.
