Hey Gene, why will you never do it again from 1" rebar???? Didn't you use your air hammer to forge these???

The stuff is just plain tough. If it was not a good orange heat it would not move and if just red forget it. Could not cold work it at all, too tough and brittle. I forged the other one from hot roll in 1/2 the time.

Not only tough but hard on the tooling and my hands. When the heat got out of the orange it just would not move which caused my top tools to beat up my hands pretty good. made up tools like Toby Hickman and Clifton Ralph suggested and they worked very well, but in the red zone forget it.
