June 24, 201312 yr Phil is that the style of hook you and Moonie are going to forge for your demo at Forging in July, or is it a surprise!!!!
June 24, 201312 yr Thank you Frank T. for the tong idea. I have some offset ones but I like that idea!
June 25, 201312 yr Drewy Androo, Yeh guys, a shank hook, that one is about 25 ton MS, one of the last ones that Dumbrell bent (I took that photo while sitting on the starter switch driving with my foot). Only Difference is we are going to bend it under the hammer, something I have never done before so I am the lacky and Moon is the master, I have only bent them in a horizontal press. We are looking at about 10 ton, that will be 3 7/8 dia for the body so should give us something to get our teeth into. We are having a practice this weekend in my shop, should be fun. Sorry to hijack this tong/hook bending thread all you other guys
