Visited a spring shop today, and along with seeing a 175 ton press, a marked Peter Wright 338 anvil(and another just a slight bit smaller), another BIG press homemade, another Home made press(neither of which below 50 tons) a big 6 burner blown gas forge, a dissassembled power hammer(cannot remember the name just yet), but the very nice gentleman who was running the spring shop gave me about 50 or 60 pounds of SIZEABLE drops of 5160(?), very thick, gonna make up a guillotine tool with a bunch of it, sell a few maybe as well.

Thanks guys, too bad the shop is not closer . A spring shop is a shop that makes leaf spring packs for big trucks, and littler ones. This specific shop Mcdonald and Mcdonald was on the orange county choppers episode with the old Indian springer front end.

Looks great AM. A friend of mine recently picked up two sets of leaf springs from a log truck. Those things are huge. Some of them get as thick as an inch or more and are about 6 foot long. Huge.. Anyway, a guillotine tool sounds like a good thing to use the stock for. I want to put one of those together sometime soon..

This followed me home last week, when I borrowed it (he wouldn't sell it to me) from a friend. The side says: "Peter Wright, Patent, Solid Wrought", then 0-3-21 and the other side has "England" stamped on it. |
