| Good eye Irn, I thought the same. Whatever the foundry had lying about I suppose...

| philip in china Posting part of a list of numbers that apply is not a problem. It is when you copy entire pages that the original author needs to be consulted for their permission. IForgeIron just wants credit to be given where it is due. Folks work hard to compile and assemble the information. They deserve a email or phone call asking them for permission for the use of their work. Most times they are please you even bothered to ask and give permission. Other times they say there is other information available that is not yet published and provide that too. I always add the note "used with permission" and give the fellows name to give him credit for being nice.

 Fester, for a young man, 280 ain't that bigga deal. When you get a little older, you may see that things of your youth perhaps come back to haunt you. Actually my guess was between 160-175 lbs. glad to see the world still has strong young fellas. I may need a hand someday.

| When I was young I used to lift my weight in anvils and walk them around. Now that I am older than I used to be I try to hold the lifting/walking down to half my weight and even then prefer to have the youngsters move the anvils and stumps while I do the brain work of deciding which tools to take to an offsite demo. Recently I did load my 400# anvil in my pickup by myself; but used levers, rollers and a comealong and so never "lifted" it.
