Had a good time at the new salem hammer in yesterday. Peter Ross was the demonstrator, it was a great demo.I also learned by 1700 standards I AM a master smith LOL !

theres no need for the share to be hard, the smith that I worked with would let them air cool, But he would say they had to be on there backs on a dirt floor running north and south! YA right. there is away to make a share that runs in sand last longer with out harding, But I can't tell, Its a trade secret.

6' floor lamp.

Well thats hard to read. Nice work!

when I seen the title, I knew it was a stevens. I had to do the same thing to my 12ga. Nice work.

Here is the one I made a couple years back

Well Its time I show some of my smith work, I posted about everything but smithing so heres a couple pears of tongs I made to flat and 3/8 stock

This is a steam Whistle I am working on for my road loco, It is 43% of a full size Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Five note step top.

I started with a small Mouse Hole 125#, it was in tough shape. { was my dads anvil } The first anvil I bought was a mint 300# Peter Wright. I love that anvil. { that was 20 years ago, I was just out of high school. } Had a chance to buy my friends anvil 2 years ago 350# Hay Budden, it went for $1600.00. didn't get it but did go to a good home and will be used.

here are the two I have. they are a very handy thing to have.

Greenriver vise's all had Caulking and Bolt header dies when new. I just got caulking Dies with mine, not even the stop. The guy I got it from told me It never came with the bolt dies because the paint was still in the notches, but I knew better.

This is my Main anvil in the shop 300# Peter Wright
