Dave,
Carbon steel is about 484 lb per cubic foot or 0.28 lb per cubic inch.

> Here is a question for anyone.
> I would like to know the combined weight of the following:

> 3-1/2" thick x 25" wide x 56" long
> AND
> 7 pieces of steel round stock.
> Each one is 7-1/2" diameter x 22-1/2" long

> Why you might ask?
> Well, some years ago I started to build a

> I have all of the major components (on the pages above)
> I even have the hammer head (2 pieces of 5-1/4" sq. x 12")
> to be welded together.
> and the top and bottom flat dies 4" x 4" x 10" 4340.
> Here is how I made the flat dies for my smaller Kinyon style

> Something similar will work for the big hammer dies.
