[TheForge] 36" diameter ring

Sounds good to me.
I measured today, and it looks like trying to work a 10' piece of anything in
that little shop is going to be out of the question.

Bob,

Horseshoes are bent on the edge, tires on the flat (at least to my
undrstanding).  I usually end up bending a spiral as I bend enough to judge
how too tight I started and have to back bend the tighter sections.  I liked
Phil's comment to do it on a flypress, it would give very consistent nudges.
perhaps could actually calculate the spread of the stationary posts and the
depth of the moving post with a drawn radius, give or take a little for the
spring of the cold steel.  Know anyone willing to experiment with their
brand-newly acquired flypress for the cost of a beer???? Lemme know ;)
