[TheForge] 36" diameter ring

[Peter Fels And Phoebe Palmer]

Another method ( ask any blacksmith and get 3 1/2) is to fix ( weld) 2 
parallel heavy pipes or bars horizontally to something that won't move. 
Leave a bit more space than the stock thickness seperating the bars.. 
Insert the stock between the bars ( perpendicular) and pull down gently 
on the end of the stock till the stock bends a tad, push stock a little 
forward and repeat..and repeat...and repeat ..and repeat ..and repeat 
..and repeat ..and repeat ..and repeat ..and repeat ..and repeat ..
and repeat ..and repeat ..and repeat ..till the curved end of the stock 
comes around and gooses you..........Pete
