    Outside the shop: workbench and flypress. Installing the hammer: Outside before workbench/flypress was installed: Hammer and tools:

    A rolling mill is great for drawing out steel but not so good for welding as the contact with the rollers will draw the heat from the billet too quickly. Welding is best performed with a hammer or a fast press.

    I like my Bosch and Hitachi grinders. The Metabo has been a good grinder but I find that the body is too fat to hold comfortably.

    Looks like the anvil on the left in the picture below.

    Propane needs a different type of nozzle and mixer than acetylene as it is much denser and hence harder to mix with the oxygen. Propane may also dissolve acetylene seals and hoses.

    A vice is an instrument with moveable jaws used to clamp objects, vise is the US corruption of the word. (Concise Oxford English Dictionary 1990).

    Hope his recovery is a quick one. Will he have Interweb access in his hospital room?

    I got a face full of molten borax this morning...

    Don't use grease, use oil. Grease traps dirt and grit whilst a regular application of oil washes dirt out of the moving parts.

    Looks like a Peter Wright anvil or maybe a HB.

    Over 500 files, these are the good ones that I didn't anneal. The worn files have been annealed/normalized ready for future projects. Roper Whitney corner cropper and miracle bender plus an Edwards angle iron guillotine. 5" leg vice, still with the original cross hatching on the jaws.

    I hammer the exposed thread which makes removal difficult. You could also file the corners off the nuts.

    A nice piece of work.

    Posted mine from the UK about a month back. Hope they arrived ok.

    fly press

    imagedude replied to john_zxz's topic in Presses

    That Charles-Wayman press looks like a coining press, its screwthread looks too fine for a flypress.

    4 of these firepots were imported to the UK from the USA about 25 years ago. The blacksmith who imported them wanted a lifetimes supply but only managed to burn one out over the 25 year period. I have the remaining 3. They are about 1.5 inches thick.

    I found some rail carts in an old quarry. The quarry was worked from 1790 - 1969. First I found a graveyard of rail carts: They look promising especially the coupling hooks: And the lifting eyes: All in all a productive day out. I'll be back with a cordless grinder soon.
