quint Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Wow thats really good considering probably worth 15 or so just by scrap weight, wonder what kind of steel it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgewayforge Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Wow! Good score! You could take that thing and make a sort of mini swadge block with it, grind some funky radii onto the sides, maybe a hardy hold.... Great find! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pug}{maN Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 o i got one of them last week...lol.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewayforge Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Well! Then you look to be set up for some great demonstrations, with a rivet forge, portable anvil and portable make-shift Swage block! Now all you need is a bick to take with you, so you can have a handy horn for scrolling. Nice work, Pug}{maN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 almost a classic example of a "bench block" How about gently radiusing one side so you could turn it up and use it for drawing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pug}{maN Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 so i found its 110 pound big brother, so i have shifted gears... its going to be the top and bottom to my new trip hammer build.. ill post a link to the new thred when i start on the hammer...

MOblacksmith0530 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Them small blocks work real nice as welding blocks right next to teh forge. I got one that is about 4 by 5 by 6 with varying radiused edges I us to stick welds at the forge especially on small stuff like 1/4 inch chain.

ThomasPowers Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 That's kind of small for a triphammer, perhaps a treadle hammer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
