Bolt on the rim to a truck, on stands and put it in first gear. Weld one end to a truck rim and hold the other end still some how. PC or paint the 1/2" twist and leave the barbs raw sanded SS.Īny how, just my musings for the day. But 1/2" hr with 1/4" barbs would look good. Forgetting heat all together, if you did them out of 1/2" HR you could build a jig and do it cold, by hand using leverage. Easier to handle but you'll have to have the first one on hand to compare that the twists are similar. They aren't long sections and I'd be tempted to do them individually as apposed to all one length and cut into sections. If there's not enough pull, it may not twist evenly or even loop over on you. ![]() Another factor is keeping the piece in lengthwise tension. May want to cool the two ends so they fit in the holder( think something like a collet or ratchet socket) and won't twist, thus being hard to keep a firm grip on. Weld up a frame work to fit the heated piece in so you can twist it by hand with big levers and big students. You don't want it too hot/flimsy or you be very unhappy. Burn the sob for a good long time to get it cherry. Bury the part in the coals and then start piling on the wood. Keep adding so you get a chit load of coals. Could dig a shallow trench and start burning wood. having said that, DSW is on the right page for DIY'ing it. The barbs where placed on one rod at consistent intervals, probably welded in place and then the whole thing twisted up. If you heat a section, twist, heat another section, twist, it could get quite messy. Doing it cold allows for good consistency in the twists. What you're looking at there, I'm willing to bet, was done cold, in a very skookum hydraulic twister or big f'in lathe. ![]()
