Hmm...I'm about 40 minutes from the nearest Walmart.so pretty far out.ill be back in the shop this week

Oh she's a keeper all right.finds me smithing jobs here and there.plans on joining me in the smithy when I get it moved closer as she's done some blacksmith and silversmithing when she was younger.ill post a picture of the pot rack her co teacher had me make ;-)

Yeah I found a 5/16" spring probably about 12'-15' long after straightening but took it back to the shop last month.thats 2 1/2 hours away :-) my fiance picks up metal for me on her walks but that is all she has found lately. No worries. I was just trying to see what I could do with found materials. Thanks guys :-)

Thanks dsw I was hoping for a bit of carbon.was figuring a small hammer and chisels

Oh darn.thank you Mister Powers.much appreciated.back to scrounging

Has anyone ever forged anything out of one? Or know what kind of steel it is?

Mister dickison would you happen to have a rough price quote for a pair of bellows?

I didnt think it would be easy to ID.any ideas on the screw box?

My smaller vise had trouble closing then the washer on the screw broke.ive also noticed the screw box is slanted downward. How can I move the screw box back into place without further damage? I have a large brass washer that will fit but ive noticed my larger vise has 2 pieces between the screw and front jaw.ant advice would be much appreciated. I'd like to ID it as well but no markings.

This is the other anvil.as you can see pretty abused.the last few pics are of a stamp 88 or 83 and the last some kind of indentation.rings like a bell

First the fisher.with the exeption of surface rust, a dinged up horn tip and some chisel marks near the tip of the horn. she is pristine .no ring and the only marking is the paper label (which I have NOT touched) and the number stamp

Picked these up today.any thought

I think I will too.since a friend requested a "happy" snail.:-)

This tiny leaf is about as small is ive gone. Somewhere ive got pics of a doll sized seachest with forged hinges I made.I love small intricate work :-)
