I found a 4in post vise today in dalton GA. This this seems to be in mint condition only a light surface rust, the screw threads are excellent.

There is only one problem, the guy selling it wants a lot in my opinion. $300.

If anyone wants to know where it is let me know I'll pass along the sellers info.

I already have on eand don't have room for a second

I found this today. I am going to jump on it, I have already sent an email to the seller, but what do you guys think of the anvil in the picture? condition/maker/opinions

I have decided to tae my work from practice piece to public sales. In order to do this I have started taking a table at one of my local flea markets last week end. while I sold only about $10 so far, I have had several other customers show interest and most that did had no money on them(or atleast thas the story being given) I will be goig back over the next few weeks and see if i can sell anything.

on guy almost begged me to throw one of my wall hooks at him. he picked up a hook I made. just a simple nail flattened at the poin drilled with two mounting holes and the head end of the nail bent into a hook. he picked it up loked at it commented "hmph i can make these" dropped(dropped about 8 inches, not set down gently) the hook and walked away from my table. It was all I could do not to pick it up and throw it at him, yelling, get you own forge anvil and hammer and make them yourself then.

anyone else have similar things happen? yes I know people can be jerks but this guy just rubbed me the wrong way.

ok my forge has been running fine for the last year. a few weeks ago my forge suddenly lost its orange/yellow glow, turning dark red. the thing made a terribly odd roaring sound. I have found that by playing with the air flow and propane levels i can fix it and get the thing back to it's ussualy performance and sound levels.

what I'm thinking is the flame is backing into the burner tube. by lowering the airflow slightly and raising the propane flow i can fix this issue, but then i have to re-adjust them both to get it back to normal heat levels. with in about 10-15 minutes it does it again.

now what i think is the burner tube and flame holder has oxidized with the heat and is scaling off inside the flame holder. near the forge body if this is true i have to build a new burner tube and flame holder. yeah sounds like fun!

what do you guys think of this scenario? all serious and not so serious comments welcome.lol (OMG what have i got myself into with that?)
