jeremy k Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Dave - That's a pretty nice toy you have there, and you did a very nice job on the supersized leaf fob. Now you need to forge a few huge keys for it and a ring to hold them all, LOL - JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Chambers Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Nice work and fun video, curious though was that a typo or do you call them fish mounts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Hammer Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 Wesley..... I must have been mumbling a little bit (or maybe a lot). I said "Fish Mouth". I was refering to a defect in the forging that was forming on the end of the bar. When I want to put a really short taper on the end of a rod with a power hammer, if the initial efforts don't push the center out (forward), the sides will push out over the center and form a hole in the end of the bar. This is often referred to as a 'fish mouth'. It kinda looks like one if you are rounding the taper as you make it. One way to avoid it from happening is to start a taper back further to ensure it doesn't happen. I probably could have avoided this if I had made a square taper to a point, then rounded it after I was close to the shape I needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Chambers Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Heheh no worries, we called them fish-lips or a fish-mouth when forming heels on horseshoes but the text in your video said fish mount heheh so I was corn-fused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Hammer Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 Well..... That's embarassing.... Maybe it IS a fish mount. Let's see, HMMMM Jeremy... Thanks.... I had the same thought about making some keys.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkrankow Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Guess you need to forge a fish to go on that set of keys, then it would be a fish mount! Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
