Itty Bitty Hunter
« on: July 03, 2009, 02:14:00 PM »
I got rather inspired this past weekend when I say my buddy Ray Kirk demo some integral forging.
So I ran right home and forgd up this little "Itty Bitty" out of 52100 and mated her with some stabilized maple burl.
I think maybe you guys ought to get accustomed to seeing some integrals from Andersen Forge.

Karl,

Funny you mention that!
Your box is laying on my workbench at this very moment!
I'll get it filled up and off to you soon, Ray.
I just forged down some of that and have two hunters in-progress right now!

That was from 3/4" round 52100.
I have two more in-progress that I forged 1" square to round first, then forged hunters with a slightly larger ricasso than this one.
I also have 7/8" W1 that I will use as well as forge 1 1/8" CruForgeV down to about 7/8" and use that as well.
Options are limitless.
