I gave the link a quick look and posted "good link", I went back for 5 minutes and found plans for a small cannon, mini steam engine all kinds of stuff I could have a ball with. Didn't even scratch the surface with blast furnaces and blacksmithing or the jewelry making section. I went to 5 years of trade school for welding and fabrication (and learned more from the old timers than any school can teach, I was a nuclear plant pipewelder in a past life) so the welding part would be the last part I check out, enough other stuff to experiment with. I will give it an upgrade to "Great link".

Chris,

Nice looking job on the Cant hook.  If you used mild steel (hot-rolled), I don't think that it will stand much "man-handling" with out bending.

It started out as a 3/8"X2".X12"  It is forged which adds strength by compressing the molecules, then quenched in water @ approximately 900 deg. F.  This adds about the maximum benefit of tempering to mild steel.  The thinist part is about 5/8" not counting where the pivot is which is still 3/8"/ Seems to work pretty well with 20 to 22" logs. Good bite on the tips. I used it the first time after I picked up my WM Super40 in Mt. Vernon,  Mo. I used it on the three cherry logs Arkansawyer racked up. I named my new mill Glenda after my father who passed away in 98.

The steel is what is @ 900f, witch is just turning and red in full light.   Water at sea leavle and 212f turns to steam. :D :D 

Forging also adds carbon to the outside of the stock witch acts like a case hardening.   All steel used to be made from iron by folding this carbon to the inside over and over like pulling taffee. :P   It will hold up just fine, great job Chris!! 8) 8)

Glad to see some more blacksmithing fans on hear.
