ahhhhhhhh , i love dumpster diving i can't count the treasures i get from dumpsters i even have a few favorites now. there is a hardware store near me that throws all kinds of usable goods away i am right at home with my butt hanging out or i will climb right in someone even made a comment one time when i was inside , did someone throw me away. i replied "yes unfortunatly they did" they replied back " well you do look worn out and broken down" smart alek

check out phialdelphia craigslist, there is a real sweet looking clausing jersey has one so does md

hey Kevin that is a beautiful lathe , for about 1500 it is still a good buy however one flaw that unless you can accommidate it would be another couple hundred to remedy it has a three phase motor. do you have three phase , oops i forgot you were an electrician , you could build a phase convertor . that harrison lathe that imagadude has is a good one other names that i prefer for mid size lathes with about a 10 inch swing would be a harrison colchester , monarch , sheldon , hardinge . chuck

when i seen hammer dressing, i thought it was a recipe from vulcans grill mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm HAMMER DRESSING

i bought mine in about a quart size container thru mcmaster carr ,

what can anyone tell me about hardfacing i have the low carbon anvils , i am a machinist so i can mill down the top if i need to i have a mig welder and an acwelder do i need any other tools to do job what rod do i need , please be specific on brand name and flavor please i may want to play with this process just for the sake of doing so one more question , i have a 300 pound haybudden with about a 1/8 dip in center form usage , how far can i machine down to eliminate this or is hardfacing an option or should i just forget all this nonsense and buy one of those rat hole forge anvils i have been eying

two anvils for pickup the five hundred pounders dimentions are 36 long by 17 high by the face width a little under 6 inches a one inch hardy and it looks like a min of 1/2 pritchel the 280 not sure will measure later the chemical analisis is 98 percent iron .16 carbon .85 mangense brand new old stock from a local steel supplier near me to head this off at the pass so as i don't have to be offended I KNOW THEY ARE NOT HAY BUDDENS , FISHERS , PETER WRIGHTS OR ANY OTHER QUALITY ANVIL I REALIZE THAT THIS SITE IS PEPPERED WITH WEALTHY BLACKSMITHS WITH EXQUISITE TASTES AND DEEP POCKETS , THIS ANVIL IS NOT FOR THESE BLACKSMITHS I DO KNOW FOR LESS THAN A DOLLAR A POUND THEY ARE A VIABLE ANVIL WITH A LITTLE WORK AND PERHAPS A CARBURIZATION THESE ARE VIABLE ANVILS FOR THE UNWEALTHY BEGINNER OR HOBBIEST BLACKSMITH

i just got the spectrometer report back the anvil has 98 percent iron .16 percent carbon .85 percent mangenese probally equivilent to about a36 steel so carburizing is definatly in the picture . i know rebound is definatly related to hardness of anvil i have a hay budden and the rebound on this anvil doesn't compare, it is good but not that good

it is i who is selling the anvils, they are not STOLEN . I bought them , they are old stock that were in a steel and metal liquidators wharehouse there used to be more , 100"s and 150"s but gone now they are not as bad as some portrey them they are steel and they ring well i liken them to the harbor freight anvils they have a 1 inch hardy i have a hay budden myself and a mouse hole these anvils are certainly not as good these but for less than a dollar a pound i think pretty good value the heat treater gave me a price on heat treating for a 100 dollars i soild one to one guy that works at a foundry and he is going to give me an analisys on the steel they are made from. a knifemaker from maryland bougfht one and happy to have it because the long horn .
