  1. Urban Legends Description: Email rumor Circulating since: September 2004 Status: Mostly false Examples: See below Comments: While it's true that the major wireless phone providers (Verizon excepted) have announced their intention to establish a 411 directory of customers' cell phone numbers in the near future, it is not true that they plan to "publish" said directory for any and all to read. Participating companies say the numbers will be made available only with customer consent, and only via telephone to users who dial directory assistance and pay a fee. The companies also insist the numbers will never be accessible to telemarketers. In fact, per FCC regulations, telemarketers are already prohibited from calling cell phone numbers using automated dialers, which are standard in the industry. Read more : Urban Legends ------------------------------------ Snopes.com Claim: Cell phone users must register their numbers with the national "Do Not Call" directory to prevent their cell phone numbers from being released to telemarketers. Status: False. Read more Snopes.com ---------------------------- More from the Federal Trade Commission... The Truth about Cell Phones and the Do Not Call Registry The Federal Trade Commission today reiterated that despite the claims made in e-mails circulating on the Internet, consumers should not be concerned that their cell phone numbers will be released to telemarketers in the near future, and that it is not necessary to register cell phone numbers on the National Do Not Call (DNC) Registry to be protected from most telemarketing calls to cell phones. The truth about cell phones and the DNC Registry is: * Contrary to the e-mail, cell phone numbers are NOT being released to telemarketers, and you will NOT soon be getting telemarketing calls on your cell phone.

  2. This has been added to BP0326 for reference.
  3. Any time you have anything in the hardie hole and are working on the face of the anvil, there is a chance for injury. Use one or the other, not both.
  4. Canman, IForgeIron has over 400 Blueprints how-to tutorials on making tools, jigs, and some projects. There are some 1,800 photos in the IForgeIron Gallery that cover many areas of blacksmithing, tools, jigs, projects, tools, etc. Bill Epps have 4 how-to blacksmithing books for sale in the IForgeIron Store. Each book have several projects with detailed instructions on how to make that project. These projects were chosen because they sold well for Bill at his shows.
  5. This is the Salt Fork Block, listed at the bottoms of Glenn's link. The reverse side is also shown so you may better identify things.
  6. IForgeIron has such a directory started. IFI also has a links directory, IForgeIron.com > links that is being updated on a regular basis. The links directory is one of the last sections of the site to be worked on as it was decided that once the contents of the site were posted, the links would follow. No use telling someone about great things going to happen, show them what they are linking to with the IForgeIron link. If you have list of quality blacksmithing related websites, please send the list to Glenn so we can contact them for an exchange of links. Thanks for the suggestion.
  7. Look at Blueprint BP0184 There are swages available for use, but that are being called something else at the present time.
  8. BP0264 Measuring things Tricks - Measuring There are some 41 different listings there. # 0016 Get to know your anvil. Measure the face from heel to front edge. Then to edge of cutting table ( these are length measures ). Also, from working side to near edge of hardie hole, far edge, and to both sides of prichel Numerical measurement not as important as finished goods ( IE how far to draw the end of a piece for a loop ). 4 choices ( both sides of both holes ) gives you much leeway. Then you can repeat as necessary. Easier for me to write down in the book that I need to draw to far side of prichel than to a measurement on a ruler. sog
  9. See Blueprint BP0300 for ideas on getting started.
  10. coal for fuel This is one reference on the forum to that subject.
  11. BP0191 3/4" gas burner for a gas forge by Tyler Gold T-Gold does into detail on burner construction etc in this Blueprint.
  12. Bristol Forge at Rock Mount Tn This has a java or QT attachment that locked up my system. River Bluff Forge Council Tn You are within 4 hours drive of Charlotte NC, Atlanta GA, Chattoonga, TN, Nashville TN, and Louisville KY. This expands your possibilities greatly. Go to the opening page of I Forge Iron.com > Blacksmith locations > Tenn and find a pin stuck in the Tenn map in Anderson County at Museum of Appilachia Blacksmith Shop - Norris, TN. (Jason Herrera is a member of I Forge Iron.) That is some approximately 27 minutes or 20.98 miles up Interstate 75 from your location. Aristotle, that is about as close as I can get to your location from here. Everyone is encouraged to put a pin in the blacksmithing locations map, and it doesn't have to be in your yard, but in your general area.
