yesteryearforge Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 It has a varriable blows per minute the longer you pull on the rope the less beats per minute you can sustain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primtechsmith Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 That was fun to do! I tried my hand at being on the pulling end....but did not last long at all! Josh is about 3x stronger than me. Turned 1/2" round to approx. 1/8" square in one heat. That whole day was just a blast! Peyton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

primtechsmith Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Thanks Adam....I was asked by one of our new members how to make a leaf. So I was making an attempt at showing him my leaf, and my not so good technique.... :-) Peyton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yesteryearforge Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 The rope was too stretchy and old and kept coming off the pulley ( Josh wasnt giving out , you can see the pain on his face when it came to a dead stop ) Him and Peyton were having a blast playing with itMike this is Adam, i just finished this one and uploaded to one of my older sites. just click on the pic and it should work for everone to see. i figured this would be the simplest way to do it today. i hope it works for you guys to see.

Blacksmith Jim Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 "OH! It Hurts!" I bet he was sore the next day! I just kept thinking about wanting to attach the rope to an offset peg on a wheel. Then drive the wheel with foot or motor power... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yesteryearforge Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 Yeah when the 50 lbs came to a screetching halt when the rope came off of the pulley it was painfull ( also he was pulling it from a little to one side ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
