Ask him to post a link to his site and watch the video (it is in Swedish, but a picture speaks volumes anyway)

I hawe using Beche hammers for about 25years and i have five hammers in various size in my forge.
Here is a link to the video on my homepage.

Wath is eye ballin means???

When i forge a ring i look with my eye and then i measure it with the folding rule,(hope thats the right word) and this ring have a forging tolerance in +-3mm on the outside and inside diameter an +-2mm on the hight measure.

Roger

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

The irrnsrgn forgot to include "eye" in the definition. 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.

Ha Ha Roger!
'Only' five? I thought it was more, seemed like a dozen when I visited I'd like to say thanks as well, it's fantastic that your posting so we can all see what your doing.

Tack sa mycket!

I hope you will drop by some time Ian, than we could have a little longer forgingsession in the shop.
You can allso have room for the night and breakfast in my house if you want.
