These 3 water meter covers followed me home. I am sure there are others uses but all I need is one more and I have some solid feet for an outside work table.

There it was, thrown out with the rest of the trash at the curb. Now who would throw away a good Barbie? (BBQ grill). So it followed me home. It has to be a good grill or they would not have put the "Aussie" name on it. Even comes with it's own thermometer. For those that are looking at this wondering, see it as a heat treating device for knives, complete with its own temperature read out device.

#3 is a follower rest for keeping long thin pieces from springing away from the cutter.

1 and 2 are the Milling attachment for the lathe. Usually sell on eBay for 200-300 bucks or more depending on condition. Since I had a milling machine, and not alot of cash I sold the one I had with my Southbend for $275. -MJ |

 my new lathe and a old hunk of metal that I almost tripped over
while returning from Savannah GA , I came across a road side yard sale, the fellow had mostly junk on a table and a large chunk of metal holding the awning down from blowing avay. Turns out it was ana anvil, about 90 pounds( Henry Wright). I picked it up for 80 bucks ! the trip couldn't have turned out any better, I was over there getting my Christmas present a 8x12 lathe from HF. Sweet christmas for me. Here are some picks of the lathe in my shop. and some of the anvil nailed to a stump. I never heard of henry wright , is he any relation to peter? Sorry my pics are too big .

Rods8833 When you post to the IForgeIron Gallery, it takes the large photos and automatically resizes them for the gallery, plus gives you a thumbnail image AND a thumbnail link that can be used in the forum. Like Finnr said, post to the gallery and use key words so the search engine can locate the images.

A pre-1800s anvil followed me home  from an old barn in Steele, AL you can see when the heel and horn were welded back on after they were choped/broken of at the end of the civil war to help in the hinderance of tool production.
