[TheForge] Air Hammer Guides

Sun Apr 28 20:21:01 2002

My ram was 6" square with 5 1/2" round welded inside, I welded some strips
down the sides of the round to pack it out a little and then just welded it
top and bottom inside the tubing, its worked fine.
 Ralph isnt it easier to put something inside the tubing instead of
attaching to the end?
