Damascus Mike

I dont have anything agains jacks or cylanders i just wanted to see if it was posible,ok ive changed my mind about the electric motorized press thing,im ganna use the jack i have,my press must be small under about 25 -30 kgs or less and it will be for forging and hopefully for Damascus if fast enough,i know people in the past have said i must use an air compressor but the truth is ive got one buy its old rusty and im scared its ganna explode if i let it built up preasure.ok ive sort of got an idea of how to make it and ill try explain it. The press will be an H style press with the jack in the middle under the bar that goes up and down i want the jack to have my motor atached to it running the hand pump up and down making it pump the ram up very fast.If you have any changes or tips to make it better and faster fell free to comment.The press in the pic is what i wanna make.

You may wanna try a search in the phone book for that area under M

i dont have a clue of what you just said

you always tell me to read the threads and postings properly so i can absorb all the info,now i think its your turn,im not having a go at you but you seriously miss alot of the things i say,if you can recall i said i dont know exactly what type of tungsten it is,i was told by the guy who made it that it was Tungsten he is my friend and i trust his judgement so dont be like this to me just because i trust what he says is true,but if you guys have such a problem with this whole thing then ill phone the guy and ask him what it is and if its pure or if its W carbide,and as to the rock it went into im not a rock specialist so i dont know if its soft or very hard but id take it that its not a hard rock because i agree with you people that if it was a very hard rock then the sword probly would have just stopped or exploded,as to the stop sign its made from steel and thats normally the thing we test swords on,obvioulsy the signs are old ones that we have been given to use for our cause.if there is another bad coment thrown towards me ill simply just ignor this thread.As i said ill get a pic of this sword and the rock the next time im there in that area.

i simply think it was a very soft stone

Well as i said next time im in that area of the contry ill get a pic 4 sure

Im not making it up,but if you dont have the decency to believe me then why must i waste my time on this thread, i just added my input and thats that, you can believe it or not but if you dont believe it then i wont waste my on answering. i came here to add input not have a huge fight on if its true or not so you can put up or shut up wateva that means.

oh sorry i may have explained it a bit different then some people may know,i mean ive got a motor and alot of scrap metal and a jack but i wanna see if i can make a press with only the motor as a driver,even if it runs pulleys or gears or wateva it needs i just dont wanna use a jack or hydrolic cylanders. Any other ideas?if there is no way to do it i can use my bottle jack if needed i just need to know how,im very keen on the press that has a motor running the hand pump up and down with a cam but im not sure if ill get it right.

well go on then tell me how i must talk,its not my fault that i happened to see something thats supossibly impossible.

well then its proberly Tungsten carbon i dont know if its PURE tungsten or if it Tungsten carbide i was just told that its made from tungsten.

im not ganna go out my way and drive all the way to him just to get a picture,but as i said the next time i go to him ill take a million pics if you want.

Well i dont know if you read my post right, i didnt say it went right through the stone, it just entered it went it sliced through the stop sign

12 yrs?you think im 12 years old?or what do you mean?ill get the pic next time i see him

yes ive seen this press before but i meant a press with only a motor no jack or cylanders or anything else just a motor.but thanx for telling me because i couldnt remember what the website was called but now i do. Can you explain what you mean if posible? thanx where do i search for it?what website?

hey guys ive got a little question i need to ask,im interested in small presses and i was wondering if its possible to make a small press some how using an electic motor to force the ram down thanx Mike ps:ive searched it and cant find ANYTHING on the subject

too bad the camera man wouldnt stay in one frame at a time too much zooming in and out but hey the power hammer is still a working tool its beter than just a planed idea of mabey making.i might try one exactly like that just a smaller version because i only got a smaller motor

Ive seen a broad sword make from completely Tungsten and the guy swung it at a stop sign and it sliced through the sign so easily that the sword had so much momentim left it inbeded its self half way into a 84 kg rock,we needed to get a fork lift to get the rock to his house because he could even get the sword to move,the sword now stands in his house still inside the rock,haha i said to him that it reminds me of excalibre

oh ok i see

what are the spings on the jack for?

today i used a guilotine to cut up a bansaw blade

you what Steve, just 4get about it, because i came for help but clearly you have a problem with me so leave it ill just find it somewhere else

as i said already i did what you guys told me and i searched the net and iforgeiron but i didnt find it,besides i dont even know what to type in the search bar, i dont know what the chart is called

Hi guys its Dm here and ive got a bit of a problem,well i always get told by people of what metals are good and stronge and they use names like 1050 or 1080 and i just cant figure out what these numbers mean,i have searched the web for hours looking for a chart or something explaining these numbers but i just cant find anything,if anybody has a chart or something explaining these numbers and a way of telling what they are normally called i will greatly appreciate you showing me. thanx in advance Dm

k i will try that also

My advise is if you going to make it mirror shiny buy lots and lots of fine grit paper because they eat it up like its nothing.this is my knife from a tractors l/m blade
