    Stephens Lever Vise

    Are the Stevens vises still being made and sold? SLAG.
  2. T. P., You ARE so lucky. You are close to great gnarled scrap, And you can trip airport explosive alarms. SLAG. Mr. Dragon, Entropy lives!
  3. Mr. Powers, Concerning the EMRTC performance. I missed a good show, I'm sure. But did they initially consider the subsequent effect on the resell value of that car pre big bang? SLAG.

    Mr. Flynn, What a fascinating looking vise. What is the patent number for it? I should like to have a look at it to see how it works. (instead of trying to figure it out by myself). Thanks. Enjoy putting it to good use. Thanks, SLAG. p.s. Where did you acquire it?
  6. Marg, And I*, Have added your cousin to our list of prayers and intentions. Ideally the malignancy has not spread and a lumpectomy should take care of the problem. SLAG. *(SLAG.).
  7. Mr. G.M.B.B., It is a beautiful logo. Use it in the best of health. Just for fun, you may want to spend a bit of time checking out other logos at the Trade Marks Office*. to see if it resembles other 'people's". trade marked logos. Regards, SLAG. You can search using the net.
  8. Smoking some Mandarin, Hunan, and Szechuan dishes can be done by placing the food item on a raised "grill" placed inside a wok with a top. Black tea leaves* are gently heated in that wok. Peking Duck can be cooked in that kind of set-up. A special smoker is, thus, not necessary. SLAG. * for example Lapsang Souchong tea leaves.
  9. The SLAG, Suggests that one more precautionary step should be added to the many Mr. Buzzkill has mentioned. That is namely: Get an attorney to prepare your last will and testament so your next of kin will be properly taken care of. Good luck! Sinceriously , SLAG. Foundry ... can be fatal.
  10. Roberto. I just bumped into this thread. Nasty business. I am glad that medications are helping. I sort of wondered about not seeing you on the forum recently. Hang in there. We are all on your side. Slow and steady wins the race. Regards, SLAG.
  11. Glenn Conner's son published a tutorial when he was eleven years old. He started smithing at six years of age. (look up "easy tongs" here). There are (or have been several other youngsters on this site producing quality work. Give it a try, it's a lot of fun. SLAG.
  12. Mr. Stevens, Please do not use a claw hammer. They are made for driving nails in wood. So the head is softer than other hammers. That head can start to deform and given a lot of use even spall off splinters. soft heads do not move hot iron very well. So the SLAG suggests that a ball pein hammer will work great. You can find such hammer heads at yard sales. Putting a handle on one is a simple job. Welcome to the craft. It's fun. SLAG.
  13. Senor R. P., Is your "cheesy Moon" sculpture for sale? SLAG.
  14. Messrs. Harris and Powers, Twist-top wine bottle closures, do not suffer from cork taint. Cork closures do. SLAG. Diethyl mercaptan is the main mal-odorous component of skunk spray, together with other mercaptan chemicals. Mr. Frazer I'm beginning to appreciate your sense of style. Pinkie finger and all.
  15. Mr. Frost sir, Curling is a late arrival in these United States. (it has been a winter fixture in Canada and Scotland for many years. So we have been playing catch-up and making a good job of it if I say so myself. Hang in there and only make judicious bets. SLAG
  16. Mr. Hammer of Grammar, (i.e. JHCC.) Did I not come across that phrase, (or something close), listening to the "Goon Show"? SLAG.
  17. I momentarily forgot what HAZ meant so I looked it up. It means "heat affected zone". Enjoy. Regards, SLAG.
  18. Mrs. Stebbins, $400 offer for a 200 pound anvil in really good shape and made by a top notch manufacturer is a sucker bid. The SLAG thinks that it is way undervalued. Even where it is situated in Concord Maine. Jennifer is correct, that there are a fair number of female members on this site. Many of them working at a high level of expertise. Give it a shot you might like it. Welcome, SLAG.
  19. Mr. Arkie, Gotscha. Thank you for your service. It is appreciated. SLAG.
  20. Mr. Hoss Cartwright a.k.a. Dan Blocker sadly died in May 1972. Sad that. SLAG.
  21. Mr. IDFCW, Thank you for informing us about this really good looking welding text. (I have not read it yet). I have downloaded it. It should prove to be a very good companion to my other book. SLAG.
  22. Fellow Denizens, A good buddy of mine twigged me to a capital trick. He scavenged used oil from some of the fryers at the local Tim Horton and Duncan Donuts shops. There a lot of them in Canada, so he always had a ready supply. Quenching, always, gave off a pleasant aroma. ('odour' in Canada). SLAG.
  23. Mr. Frosty, Your quotation attributed to Mr. Mike Rowe, should, also, be posted to the "sayings and brilliancies" thread on this forum. (if I could only remember its real name). SLAG.
  24. Mr. R. Pedro, Yes I know so. the SLAG says. Give it a shot. Talk to someone knowledgeable in the art scene to get advice before you take it around to art galleries. (perhaps a professor at a local art school). You do not want to be taken advantage of. SLAG. A larger size will transform you artwork from novelty to very serious art.
