I had 22 of these bits to break down this morning...
They started as 4 3/4 round 2" long.... And finished as 1 3/4 sq (roughly, hammer blanks)
I had two forges running... The pucks in three at a time in the long forge, one heat through the Flatifier, into the small forge then one pass through the 3B to size...
Was running the hammer hard enough that the ram started sticking (it was just rebuilt and still tight at the top end)
Took about 3 hours to do all 22 chunks, mostly soak time

Flatifier one
In this one I smooshed to far in the first bite and then my tongs where too big to get a good hold

Can't use Flickr. Get a Vimeo account, much better anyway.

You cant use Flikr or it wont work on the site? I am pretty dedicated to flikr since I have been using it for years and have thousands of photos loaded to my account?
Whatever you are, be a good one.

Sorry, for some reason Flickr is not supported by vBulletin. even with Vimeo you have to edit the code so you only have http://vimeo.com/(the video # here) and use the video add tool.
