Bryce Masuk Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I have been meaning to post some of this for awhile but I havent really had enough time to think about it. the squiggles are wrought iron, there arent many straight bars in the 240 ft of fence if any. I cant say that I did alot of it myself, helmut knew what he wanted to do so he most of it himself we had finished most of it for the first house when I left but he went full tilt on it for over a month and entirely finished the project. all panels had to be made standing up because it goes up and down and back and forth. its made from 1 3/4 inch rebar for the posts 1 1/2 x 3/4 bottom rail 1/2 inch rebar 1 inch cap 1x4 flat bar arch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fosterob Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Very nice work, it is hard to see the scale of it the pics until you read the sizes of stock. Thank you for posting Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWHII Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Bryce, I was in Santa Fe on June 16th and met Helmut in his shop and actually seen the fence you helped with. It is very nice job and more impresive in person. I went there because I am very interested in the hydraulic forging press he built and the slitting and drifting dies he has for it. It just so happened he was slitting and drifting the 1 3/4" rebar then upsetting the ends while I was there. He is a very nice man and you are very lucky to be able to work with somone of his skill. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryce Masuk Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 I snapped helmut's drift for the rebar LOL the first bar went mint and the second I popped it off it was made from s7 I think and mig welded on it broke right at the weld his press has at the end a 4 cylinders pushing on a single plate about 100 tons for straightening we used it where the lock slips into by pressing a 1 1/2 inch bar into the 1x4 flat bar displacing the metal boy did that look sweet, it was heated with his biggest rosebud and then pressed. I chiseled out the cover plates and its a blind rivet (hole drilled and tapped with a bolt with the head chopped off) One day down there I met this turley guy and he showed me how to make a lock :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWHII Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 What did you learn about his hydraulic press Harold? Larry, It was a interesting press. I will do some things differently when I get around to building mine but it will be on a smaler scale. I was mainly interested in the die set up he had. Here is some photos of the set up.
