you forgot the infinatly variable adjustable wrench that once adjusted to the right width of nut or bolt automaticly adjusts to the next size when applied

steve , thats the site i meant the one dutchmancreek sent you chuck

i like that door knocker idea , two recyclables

lucky duck

like that word frugal , thats what i am frugal. i will search around but somewhere in my travels last year there was a site with a whole slew of ideas me myself i can only think of a tomahawk , some sort of handles one i did and liked was i cut the point off did a pinnaple twist, drilled 5/16 dia cross hole where the point was and drilled another hole perpendicular to the cross hole but about a half inch back fed a piece of 5/16 round thru the cross hole to egual lengths sticking out stuck a piece of 5/16 thru top hole only half length forge welded rods in after welding and still hot i bent to a garden tool , you know little fork tool . i forget what they are called chuck them dern railroad spikes always migrate from he railroad to my shop, how do you suppose that happens

these are all good ideas i was checking them out today , i have a bunch to fool with

if any one of you were thinking of buying me something for christmas or making me something , FORGET IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was incouragable all year , i misbehaved, stayed out to late , back talked my elders , didn't clean my room , failed social studies, i don't deserve any gift . my wife said the only thing i deserve is coal , small pea size bitumous coal thats all i deserve . delivered to claymont, de , probally about a ton as bad as i was

i feel sorry for carpenters , they pay for a two by four and they get a 1.75 by 3.75 we metalworkers would never tolerate that would we?

i built this coal forge with three legs hard to see but i welded unistrut on both sides of forge to add accessories like stock carriers , small quench tanks etc. a centuar firepot with dumping ash gate surroundings are a horse run in shed i bought with a crush and run floor

i bought a surplus of identical lug wrenches for 25 cents each at the surplus material store 25 to be exact , trying to think of a usefull project the kind that are bent at about 30 degrees i was thinking of spacing three wrenches 120 degrees apart with the socket end down and the shaft going straight up so to make like legs weld a piece of pipe in center and devise an adjustable stock stand . or do the same but scroll the top of the wrench {where the hub cap removal blade is} weld a ring in the inside to hold those large flower pots. does anyone know what kind of stell these are can someone come up with something creative to do with these things chuck

what are you planing on making once you get all these pieces put together? whats your plans for an anvil stand ?

conversly so on a cnc mill , climb milling is the preferred method . spindle and axis loads are a lot less doing it this way. think of the dynamic of climb milling as opposed to conventional it's biggest chip load is at entry then diminishes at exit , conventional just the opposite when i served my apprentiship conventional was the way to do it then along came cnc's which changed that

steve i tried one of those robots, the b9 to be correct and all it would do is light up and say "DANGER WILL ROBINSON" dr smith was right those robots are ninni's

i have one of those wireless remote controls that i set up with my forge blower , i hang on my shirt so i just reach up and hit on or off
