It followed me home
This is a discussion on It followed me home within the Blacksmithin' forums, part of the Blacksmithing category; Anvils in America is a great book! I checked it out via inter-library loan. Quite the page turner...

Is there a prayer list for folks who sit at the breakfast table reading "Pounding out the Profits" or "Anvils in America"; or other smithing esoterica?

If he'd spend less money on books and tools he would be able to, but then he wouldn't need to.

get a bookmark, place the books in the reading room (bathroom) right next to the throne.

man, I had one of those at a garage sale only the wheel was flat from them not turning it when they sharpened but I didn't have a truck to get it home so I had to pass. The guy also had a nice hand post drill too.  |

I come home last month with 60 feet of 1 inch hex rod. It sparked high carbon so I forged a piece flat and sent it out to get analyzed. Came back this morning and looks to be 1075. Woohoo!! Lots of blades and hawks there! To think it was headed for reinforcement in a footer. hehe. The save of the day.

Well another banner week, I ran across about a dozen Hardy tools, an equal number of specialty hammers for SCA type stuff some 2" rollers for my 2" X 72" grinder, a sheet metal spot welder, a 5 1/2" post vice and a bunch of other misc. stuff. I'll post a picture tomorrow. Steve
