Fuller

Found the camera so here are some pix of the bottom fuller. Or that’s it’s primary purpose. Will also be used to form different shapes in metal so guess it has another name too but no idea what it would be right now. Started life as a piece cut off a rail road rail. This is the top rail portion. The curved side was the really worn inside part of the rail. Took up to a yellow heat quite a few times to get it beat into this shape. Pix taken on a piece of pegboard. Holes are 1/4 inch in diameter and spaced on a 1 inch grid to give a feel of the size. Click on the thumbnails to see larger versions of the pictures and use your back button to return here.

Fuller Top View
Fuller top view – Took quite a few heatings and beatings to get it this narrow on top. Ground it smooth on the bench grinder and then used the belt sander to finish it off.

Fuller Bottom View
Fuller Bottom View – My hardy hole is 7/8 inch square. Had to upset (heat and hammer back into it’s self) the hardy end of this a bit to get it to fit the hole. It started out about 3/4 inch square. I think the hardy fitting is about 3/8s of an inch shorter now than before I started beating on it.
