IronFist Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Kallsme'n- that is one AWESOME ring!! Great photos, brother. Thanks for sharing. What do you think your heat reached accomplishing this? And what is this for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Hicks Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Nice- I bet it is really hot thats huge Thanks for showing Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecart Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I do good just forging something around 1/2"-3/4" around. I can't imagine the heat this thing put off while you were working it. I was wondering what it is for also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted T Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Kallsme’n, Thank You for the post. Sharing your photos with us is a part of what makes IFI interesting and informative. I am half Swedish. So maybe I could forge something half as large as that. “Just kidding”. Ted Throckmorton (English) Mothers side = Jensen (Swedish) Thanks again! Be safe!

Tyler Murch Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Working in (rather than on) big steel! I like it. Did this a few weeks ago, similar. Similar and identical are similar, but they are not identical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremy k Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Roger - why not forge it to a hex shape on the outside so there is less machining to be done? - JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
