I just wanted to take a minute an thank mike-hr for BP0231. I gave it a shot this morning and other than wishing I had your swedge block it went quite well. The bride has the digital camera in her car so this evening I will try to get some pictures. Once again thanks. The BP was real easy to follow and the forge welds went well.

Thanks JWB, those are fun to make. Consider making some round hardy swedges if you don't have a swedgeblock. The nifty thing about them is you can preheat them in the forge and get more welding time.

Thanks for the BP#s Glenn. Now I've got something for next week.
Heres the pictures of the finished project.Everything is forge welded. I was surprised how easy the leaf lap welded. I've hit that rock a hundred times with the mower.Gave me a good excuse to move it.

OK; lets see 40 acres of it!
