JHCC is right. It is a timbale iron to make shells. Here’s a new set on amazon commercial link deleted, new link to non-commercial site (with recipe) added. https://gramsrecipebox.com/2017/11/02/swedish-timbales/

JHCC, don’t forget about “larboard” - it was dropped for “port”. I’ve read (somewhere in the past) that one reason for the change was that “starboard” and “larboard” could get misheard in the heat of battle.

Looks like 4 0 8 which would be 456

Got this post vise and logging hooks for $10. I thought the repair on the post vise as interesting - if you wear out the threads on the first part of the vise, simply insert a bevel gear with. Shoulder to move the bad thread out. Going to clean up and keep it this way for conversation. The hooks look like they may be wrought

If you do a search for the 1914 Hay Budden catalog that is on this site (as well as some others - I have even seen pdf copies for sale on EBay-and I’m the one that created the single file pdf of it!). You can see a plain horn and clip horn and the difference between them.

We do care for them all. Kneemail sent.

According to my 1912 Champion Forge Catalog, the No. 40 is the Lancaster Model.

I m fortunate to have the ABANA conference near me this year. As a result, i am loaning them an anvil and vise to use. I have been told to mark them clearly and very well. I have been thinking about the best way to do that, and thought I’d reach out to this august group for ideas and suggestions...so, how should I mark them? (I’m also going to take photos of all sides and note manufacturer markings as well) What say ye? And thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.

Got these today at a sale. First up is a foot vise. Patent date April 28, 1898 Manufactured by H J Boyce, Fayette, Ohio. 5-inch jaws Second Vise is post vise, maybe. The leg is missing, but there is a threaded hole into the vise where the leg would go. Not sure if it may have been bolted to something rather than having a post. One side has “6LV2” on one leg and “6LV5” and the other side has “JB” on both legs. It has 6-inch jaws. Just trying to learn more about them. Want to both to good use. Thanks in advance for any information.

Was in the pile of metal I bought at auction yesterday. It’s about a foot long, 1-1/2 thick and 3 inches wide. When you pull the “trigger” a section on the inside pulls back about about. Quarter of an inch - obviously just to hold something.

Better pictures of the blower and Wrought. Most is 2 x 3/4 bar.

Went to an auction today and got an old electric b lower with its resistive switch and a bunch of wrought iron and a little mild steel

Das, where do get all those old motor shafts for the bodies?

Don’t change horses in mid flight i know it like the back of my palm

Enjoy each and every day with her - time will go by even faster now. Mine’s 19 and it seem like last year she was born! Congratulations!

Moving on, but still staying flat, I got this 6 pound flatter for $15 yesterday. Any thoughts on what they were doing with it to mushroom the head that badly? It’s marked with the initials ETW whoever he was u

With springs like that, the odds are stacked against him - but I know he is hopeful that they will work And that gentleman, proves hope springs eternal.

geez, those puns are flat - I’ll just leaf them alone

Check out the Central Virginia Blacksmith Guild

you are correct, Thomas . I’ve seen that as well - forgot to add Thank you

the checking is really dependent on the speed of drying. That’s why ends are sealed to slow the process. I have seen checks run the entire length and be seen from the outside, but I don’t remember any checks that ran the length on the inside and couldn’t be seen externally. I have seen overlapping short checks that did go the length i appreciate the flat rate offe! Thank you

Man I wish I lived closer. I’d love to get some of that olive wood to carve some spoons and other things from.

Simply put = 1 pound = 454 grams
