[TheForge] Re: hand powered machinery

[Bruce Freeman]

Are you talking for tinsmithing or blacksmithing.  If the latter, do you
mean rolling "the hard way" or "the easy way"?

Tire benders have been around a long time.  Heavy duty ones can roll
3/4" x 2" stock the easy way - but I don't know for sure whether they'll
do it cold.  They can be hard to come by.

The same thing can be done with much simpler bending tools.

Bending that stock the hard way is another matter altogether.

Folks:  Speaking of Jennies, has anyone uot there any information on 
hand-powered ring rollers?  I have heard that these exist, but have yet
to 
see one.  They would probably only be suitable for samll-dimension
stock
