The After Party

While the cat's away the mice will play. Dean has gone to bed and we fire up the 300 pound Chambersburg. I was trying to flatten a bunch of tool steel and as good as the Big BLU's are they are NOT a 300 pound hammer. SOoooo. .. I fired her up. After I had it going everyone else had to play. . .

Ted Thompson forging a piece as long as possible in one heat. This piece started at about a foot or 10 inches. . .

Steve Barringer of B²Design had a go at it too.
