I went over to my friend @Bruce Bump and he let me forge weld with his press. OH MY GOSH! I want one!!! His apprentice guy and Bruce both helped me quite a bit which was great!!
I would love to build a tire hammer but can't seem to find a good chunk of steel for the anvil. Largest diameter I can find is 4 3/4". Sorry that was completely off topic. Glad you had fun!
Nice to have friends like that!! I have a buddy that has a Little Giant power hammer I get to run now and again! The BIGGEST PLUS is the instruction from a Craftsman like Mr Bump!!
