Our pizza slicer is made fom a single piece of ¼"x ¾" stock.
1045 is a good choice because it has enough carbon to hold an edge. Stainless
is also a good choice but is somewhat more difficult to forge. Whatever
you use, this is an easy weekend project.

| Rounding hammers provide a striking surface that is rounded more than
a standard hammer but less than a ball peen hammer. Two common weights
are 2½ pounds and 1½ pounds. The 1½” round W1
tool steel used for this project makes a 1½ lb. hammer. |

Twists in round stock need to be made by developing irregularities in
the cross section that will show up in a twist. There are four examples
in issue 142. |
Materials for this lamp include 1” square, 1”x 3” bar
or plate, ½”x 1” flat and ¼” sch. 40 pipe.
An optional ½”x 4” x 4” base plate is not shown.
Electrical components not shown are available at most hardware stores.
