It followed me home

I went into a junk used tool booth at a fleamarket once and they had a half dozen old german silversmithing hammers for $7 a piece---I didn't even try to talk them down a bit!

[Bentiron1946]

Thomas, You passed up silversmithing hammers for $7 each!?
Sabre, You paid $50 for an ASO?! I didn't know money grew on trees. Show me the tree.

[ThomasPowers]

No I bought them immediately and did not try to talk the price down afraid someone else would see them and buy them out from under me. (Not good fleamarket manners but it does happen, particularly in the ruder parts of the country, good form is to wait and try to buy them off the fellow who was working the deal afterwards.)

[Sabre]

yes i paid 50 bucks for an aso, like i said ill reface it.Harbor Freight Tools one in the link is 10 bucks to much

[tribal forge]

that is a piece of junk anvil, hammer tapping it dents it really easy

[Sabre]

yup!, but its better than a sledge headin a bucket of concrete!, plus, im only going to use it for a short ammount of time

[ThomasPowers]

Actually a lot of us would say it is not better than a sledgehammer head mounted in a bucket of concrete.

A 16" diameter double wall flue with accesaries showed up on the doorstep of my forge shop last night. Neighbor works for a roofing company, and it was a storm damaged roof pull off. The cap needs repairs, but the stack is good and it is 9' long. Just right to replace the 8" diametr stack on my coal forge sidedraft hood to get better smoke draw.
Good neighbor
