Francis Trez Cole Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Spent the day doing a demo at the Sugar Cane Festival At Crowley Museum and Nature Center With the help of my friend Travis we made this crane out of 1/2" x 3" steel it stands about 4' tall with 2' under ground. It was a lot of fun and a lot of striking to move that much metal by hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptree Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Very nice. Having striking at a demo really draws the crowd:) My team has been doing demos with three strikers and a tong man. When we get three sledges going the crowd flowes to us. Unfortunatly, the long heats for 3" square stock allow then to drift away:( We were joking that we need 3 billets and 3 teams of strikers to keep the crowd pleased.

Ironman50 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Great looking piece! I can see how much striking done out of that huge metal to turn it into a beautiful crane. __________________ www.sawblade.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
