It’s for a Christian sculpture walk at our shop.
I use penetrol for outside workBuilt new machine for upcoming work to twist metal.
possibly overbuilt but better safe than sorry.
this video was 1 1/2 solid. But confident it would go bigger.
I call it the twist o matic.Paleyesque twists from twist o matic

Bought induction forge.
looking to buy the material to make a flexible wand extension similar to the type a company used to sell but apparently no longer does.
Does anyone know what type of flexible hose/ copper tubing is used?thanks

I’m thinking something like Bill. Or maybe Joseph.
I like simple hardworking names.

Thanks guys... the massive burner forge works far better than a ground for for inflating metal.
I’ve tried it.
Each burner has its own valve allowing me to isolate and zone in on shapes.
this forge has strictly been used to inflate shapes larger than my small forged will handle. I’ve inflated shapes up to 46” x 46” without a hitch. -

Ok.
So got a job that will involve heating a 48x48 “piece of 16 gauge sheet metal up.
Need to build a temporary type forge for this.
my first thought is to build a large square top and mount a bunch of burners on it and just stack brick for sides and bottom. Only going to be used 1-2 (hopefully more) times.
don’t want to over complicate it. Only need to get the sheet metal hot enough to inflate it.
any thoughts on a burner count?im thinking 1 every square foot- 25 or so??

Thanks guys.
Base Alone for sculpture at road is 400# hopefully that keeps thieves at bay.
yes. Tail is forged pipe. The head and thorax are inflated metal so it really doesn’t weigh that much. -

Shop rebuild
in Building, Designing a Shop
Posted
Quick tour of the hot work part of shop.
new additions are the induction forge , little Chinese hammer and a home made electro-pneumatic hammer I call the krause-0-matiC.
works in the same manner as a Nazel. 35 pound ram weigh. Great little hammer.
