I forged some more bottom tools yesterday, a large fuller, a smaller 1 1/2 inch radius fuller and an anvil block with the 1 1/2 radius the block will be cut in two. The material is 4140 1 3/4 inch round for the large fuller, 1 5/8 for the small one and 1 inch for the block

Thanks Mark- the large tool is around 2 3/4 inch radius. I plan on making handled top tools when I get someone to strike or when I get my treadle hammer built. I have a powerhammer but the stroke on it is not long enough to allow for tooling to be used, I tried using a wire handled slitter that is only about 2 inches long and the hammer will not cycle with that much material in it.

Yes the block is going to be cut in two for the camel humps, it looks like you were paying close atention to what Brian is doing and saying. I have a set of shop drawings for the old style treadle hammer and I have material to build it, now it is just a time issue- too many projects not enough time


Good luck on the treadle hammer, it's tough forging the bigger stuff without someone to swing a sledge. Is the long 1" block going to be cut and used as camel humps for drifting?
