New Anvil radius the edges, how much
tughill replied to tughill's topic in Anvils, Swage Blocks, and Mandrels
Hi Everyone Thanks for your replies. I decided to just ease the corners a tiny bit. I can take more off later, but putting more on might be harder! (lol) Thanks for your thoughts Larry -
Just received my New Holland Anvil! I will need to radius the edges. How much, the same full Length? Thanks

Hi everyone I recently acquired a 3 legged rectangular forge never had a fire in it. Unfortunately the crank gear has a 2in piece broken out. Does anyone have a 12in Champion gear that they would be willing to sell? Here is a picture

Hi everyone How many smiths use a belt grinder(KMG style) in their shop? (other than knife making) Larry

Sam, 400 cfm may be more than you want, with the dimmer switch make sure it can handle the amperage or the switch will burn up. Larry

Home build induction heater
tughill replied to Daniel.85's topic in Induction Heating, Oil forges, etc
Very interesting topic!! Was wondering, could a large unit be used to temper an anvil? Larry -
Hi Evertyone, Well last week I found an anvil. $250 the seller says he weighed it #300 lbs. It took 3 of us to lift it into the truck, I'll know more when I get it cleaned up. I've attached pictures and there are markings on the side, but I can't make anything out. Anyone want to guess at the make? Larry

Thanks Vaughn Search Tempest is new to me, turned up quite a few anvils to my surprise. I may go look at the originsl anvil I was talking about, just to see what it is. I really want a 2-300 pounder. If I go I'll take alot of pics, weather I get it or not Larry

thanks everyone for the replies!! I thought it was over priced. There is a Peter Wright 103 lb anvil about an Hr away in Whitesboro, NY for 325, I may make an offer on it. Thanks again Larry

Thanks Larry
