I Forge Iron

Forging a small ring


Recommended Posts

Ron,
Roger has about six BIG Beche power hammers, and can make all of them sit up and dance like you wouldn't believe. :D
Ask him to post a link to his site and watch the video (it is in Swedish, but a picture speaks volumes anyway)

eye balling means postioning something by use of your alone, not measuring.


The irrnsrgn forgot to include "eye" in the definition. :o I guess it's why we don't call him the "English Professor." ;)

"Eyeballing" means using only your eyes to measure.

That said, Thank you for showing us your video and other picture sets Roger. It's good to see what it's like to have the right tools and knowledgeable help.
