    Show me your vise

    This is kept for more than 1 year still in the garage now I have a new bench, with a sheet of 4 cm. (weight of the bench over 100 kg.) Now I have another color to blue I do not know what to do, but I do not want to sell it (I have 2 more on another bench).
  2. What material did you think? Cast iron or cast steel? What value would you give to this vice? Thank you.
  3. okay. you used this product? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardboard I have recommended this to insulate the soil and walls from concrete plinth http://www.edilia2000.it/Stiferite-GT_6-9-23398,2041.html 10 cm. soil 5 cm. for the walls
  4. I noticed that you have not isolated the plinth to the wall, why? Would not it be better to isolate the plinth from the floor with material capable of absorbing the vibrations?

    new vice

    This is my new vice
  7. here is a pattern that I found, but the foundation must have this trapezoidal shape, or you can make square?
  8. Hello Matei, I can just do a few pictures of the hammer, is one of my older leaf is a little less strong than those autocompressori but they told me that they are more accurate in determining the shots and their construction with mechanical parts are less likely to broken ... the new models have a workaround but more or less have the same effect. A motor at 380 volts. that spins a large pulley and inside has a clutch, more prizes the more the clutch pedal moves away from the pulley and the bat drops faster when soft has a double system to stop the travel, the leaf springs have only the task to amortize the strongest blows that's all .... I wanted to costruirmene one hand, but on balance should not waste time, my used cost me about 2000 euros about $ 2500, if you consider that weighs about 900 kg. I spent a lot of money just for the material, here in Italy they are also cheaper, mine is used very little hammers has provided new again
  9. thanks for the answers, I contacted the manufacturer (Maccaferri) I also gave him my phone number and waiting for their phone call ....
  10. I just bought a 60 kg hammer spring. around the hammer weighs about 900 kg. It was already anchored on blocks of wood, but I would like to use some other material to be placed between concrete and hammer to avoid vibrations on the top floor of the building, (I fear that the constant vibrations can cause damage to the building). Anchored to the floor as soon as I did the tests and on the upper floor vibrated even dishes on the kitchen, now after having cut the concrete around the perimeter of the hammer isolating the structure should have solved the problem? Vibrations decreased by much but still experience are waiting for an expert to be able to do the checks I ask you if there is ever something you have experiences in this regard, or advice that I can give? Thank you all.

    Hammer

    too late the hammer has been sold, thanks anyway ..
  12. I found this link hammer used should have a club of 60 kg., has a broken spring, but they assured me that it works, they asked me $ 1000 the equivalent of about 700-800 U.S. dollars what you think and make a purchase from you think? I have never used a hammer but it's always been my dream, I have the opportunity to spend a lot of DIY but because I wanted this money used to buy it might be worth what you think thanks and sorry for my bad English.

  14. Which of you has some DVD's Darryl Nelson, I would be interested in buying thanks, and sorry for my English.
  15. ok thank you all for your answers
  16. I would like to enrich my work in some iron with some noble metal, for now I can only find brass and copper, would you give me some advice on how to solder on the iron? I have seen work with applications in brass nails that did not show it as it welds can I get something? In Italy the name given to this technique is "geminatura"
  17. excuse me for prying into the conversation, I would understand if should heat the copper to work or is more convenient to work in cold? I want to forge something in copper ring or bracelet and I wanted some heat it in the forge my concern is the poisoning by copper, some precautions should I take on this? Thank you and sorry for my bad english I write from italy ....
  18. Recently I found on this forum, how to forge a hammer you could help me find some old post about it with Giancarlo.
  19. looking really nice, I agree with others that maybe the screws should be changed. Could you tell us how did you paint? Thanks Giancarlo from Italy.
  20. Now I make a very difficult question, how to calculate the size of the iron to be used for intermediate floors and roofs? you rely increasingly on calculations made by engineers or to make yourself at this calculation?
