On the way back from town things just kept jumping into the back of the truck. Things like a 5 gallon bucket of wheel weights, several rr track plates, couple of old horse shoes (two were bright and shiny) and a display rack for tires.

One scrap dealer here uses the short ton, one the long ton. 200 pounds difference.

Please be sure you are the owner of any image or material you post to IForgeIron. Please report any image or material that you feel is questionable as to ownership, so it can either be removed or permission obtained for its use. Thank you for your cooperation. For years the blacksmithing community has always been about sharing information. Posting a link to another site to provide an answer to a question has always been the standard practice. At this time, I see nothing wrong with posting a link to an photo, or to an article, as the photo or article is on that site, not on IForgeIron. The problem with linking is that site may delete the photo or material at any time, leaving a broken link, or dead end. Keen Junk was around long before Anvilfire, and when it went off line, all world wide links were broken as the site was removed from the internet. I still see references and know they no longer work as the site does not exist. If you take a photo, make a drawing, or explain the process, etc., it is your original material that you are providing and it therefore becomes a part of the IForgeIron site. If another site deletes information or goes off line, the information is still available. Posting photos in the gallery and forum By posting a photo in the IForgeIron Gallery, the gallery automatically resizes the image to forum dimensions, and created a linked thumbnail to the image. This linked thumbnail is then added to the post in the forum. It also stores the full size image that is accessible by clicking on the image in the gallery. All this is stored on site so if the photos are deleted or removed from a remote location, it does not get deleted from the site and the information resource is not compromised. ..Linking to other sites Please use caution when linking "off site" to other web sites, you-tube, etc. Any site link posted to IForgeIron WILL be expected to follow the IForgeIron guide lines. Please review the material you are linking to, and be sure it is blacksmithing or metalworking related, and in accordance with the IFI site guide lines. --------------------------- IForgeIron has high standards.

Let us say we want to weld a nut in place against a piece of metal. The nut would then be used to receive a bolt to hold parts together. Do you position the nut by just placing it against the metal, or do you put the bolt in place with the threads only flush and weld, using the bolt to align the position and placement of the nut? Do you need to do anything to the bolt to keep it from sticking to the nut from the heat? Do you take the bolt out while the weld is still hot, or let it cool before you remove the bolt? Is it best to weld on one flat (one side) of the nut, two sides, or a full weld encircling the nut? Just trying to get some opinions on how YOU would do it.
