[TheForge] 36" diameter ring

[Bob Rackers]

I need to make a ring 36" in diameter from 2" x 1/4".
Although I may call a friend to use his tire roller, I am curious about hearing
of other methods of making it.
I can't bend it over the horn of the anvil, since the top of the horn is only
31" above the floor.

I'm sure someone will suggest bending forks, and I'd like to know how you make
sure you do it evenly and check your progress as you go along.

Last question is the rule of thumb for final length of the stock in order to
forge-weld the ring together.

Thanks.

Bob
