Managed to get a big bottle jack press, small single ring cooker and borrowed a jig... Getting there slowly Now to let it cool overnighted a bit more work before it gets shaped Many thanks to DerbySuck for advice and Panama1 for load of Jig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shambam1962 Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 Good luck with your first rams horn crook and can’t wait to see the finished stick. When I worked for a hydraulic company, we had a cracking workshop and I made an almost identical bending jig for my father, who was always making rams horn crooks and buffalo horn crooks. Keep us updated on your progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinj Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 That's a posh jig!!, I did a couple of Rams and Buffalo horn crooks (for myself and Mrs. J) just by using a hot air gun and a large vice, results were "acceptable" but not great. I'd love to see how you get on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
