whats so special about anvils anyway?
pete46 replied to youngdylan's topic in Anvils, Swage Blocks, and Mandrels
ANVIL SHOOTERS; along with puppy kickers,& telemarketers should be horse whipped! Really though, I had to hunt pretty hard for the anvils I have. To see something that valuable[to me] wasted just sucks! -
DANG! RATURAY I checked the spelling twice, and still jacked it up! Sorry and thanks again.

Thank you Ratury, I'll have to go w/ Thomas. Haul'n an anvil over, will put me in the basement of the poor house .

Using found steel 1. what was it used for IE. coil spring, leaf spring, old mowerblade.etc. This will point you in the right direction; it's old job needed carbon to work (in most cases) 2. quench test (this site has info on this test) I hope this helps OOPS! The boss is watch'n got'ta go!

Is it possible, on the 1st.,weld'n blow to just use the vise instead? (to avoid shear )
-
Make a leaf, and explain how the same hammer blows will also make a knife. Longer leaves will get the point across, Boys are all about sharp and pointy. Good Luck.

Observations about lump charcoal
pete46 replied to JKindy's topic in Solid Fuels: Coal, Coke, Charcoal, Wood, etc
I use lump charcoal when woking w/ high carbon steel.I have a regular coal fire in the forge. I have 1/2 a 100lb dumb bell(let the laughter die down); put the char in a pot and after 5-10 hammer curls .I got powder, that I can then put on top of my steel. Cover w/a steel plate;( to keep the fleas down). I may not be doing anything for the steel ,but it keeps my left arm buff. :D -
Thanks ,I'll have to try that . That twisted spike could act as a drill.

The golf ball fits in the palm of your hand better.

Anthracite coal
pete46 replied to kgblacksmith's topic in Solid Fuels: Coal, Coke, Charcoal, Wood, etc
I've used it , and it works pretty good . BUT it is dirty and you need to clean out the fire alot. It works good on mild steel and the basic heat & beat jobs. Hope this helps. -
After careful consideration ; I realize that I am "A Smart A--"! Born to ride probably knows more about blacksmithing sound asleep than I do wide awake! I spend alot of time alone so, I might not be as funny as I think I am. So welcome to the site and please forgive my sillyness! :(
