i like the design alot and finish is good. Only suggestion i have is always paint nuts and screws to match the railing and also four inches on center for pickets is just for code i like three and a half for them, makes it look much more solid. nice work. -

Big Blu 110 upper die block cracked
Che Guevara replied to J W Bennett's topic in Power Hammers, Treadle Hammers, Olivers
i wouldnt use it at all i have the same hammer and the die block has become loose but i repalced the bolts and used loctite it stayed tight for four years though -
couple of good videos on u tube of chain welding you could look at furthermore i think sometimes trial and error is ok to a point. read up on the procedure and start with a size of metal that you are comfortable with. Never give up something you enjoy!

depends on the kind of smithing you do as to who you think is great or gives you inspiration my favorites are Oleg Shyshkin, Albert Paley, Samuel Yellin. My inspiration comes from these men as well as from architects of the past such as Victor Horta and William Morris
