forging stainless ha ha ha

Canaday Designs - Saturday, October 27, 2007 - 6:48pm

alright Guissepe I hope your out there somewheres.
never really forged stainless other than some small scrolls
I need to draw out some 1" solid round, to a point. did a test run using the forge and trip hammer, got the first heat OK went for the second heat, again to a cherry red, started drawing it in the trip hammer and it split in four sections, looked neat just not exactly what I had on the agenda. I am pretty sure its 304 grade stainless steel.

whos using what cad and why

Canaday Designs - Monday, August 20, 2007 - 4:17pm

Hello all,
Wondering I have a new job coming up that of which I will be subbing a lot of work out. Usually I do all of my renderings by hand, but I think i need to step it up. with my cnc plasma I use coreldraw 9 for my cad side (its easy to use). It works for that but I need to do design and shop drawings for - multiple stair cases, awnings, railings / balcony's and, even kitchen cabinets. more importantly I must comunicate this all on paper for other shops, and I don't want to do it long hand.

Canaday Designs - Saturday, June 9, 2007 - 7:49pm

I am an artist blacksmith trying to break more into the sculpture realm as apposed to the architectural metal field. But, I am finding it is definitely a different 'business'. So I'm looking for suggestions on how to sell this piece.
