Ferrous Beuler Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Mlmartin15, Listen to the advice given by other smiths here to solve your problem. Rely also on your accumulated and ever growing library of blacksmithing books, DVD's etc., as every smith has. Then procure some similar material, as you would like the finished product to be made from and have at it until you are comfortible with your arrived at methods and you consistently achieve the results you seek. Then you own it. By that I mean you are comfortable and capable of performing without fail at the anvil, the concept you now have and want to do. That's what I try to do, but it's pretty ugly here on my end. Maybe it'll go better for you! Dan:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acoop101 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 if you have an arc welder why not cut the hole larger with oxy fuel then weld in a piece of one inch tubing and built the plate back up then grinde flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
