don't tread on me

This is a stake terner that I made out of a rail road spike. Sorry the pic didn't upload.

You arn't supposed to use an Acetylene gauge with propane, The propane will eat the seals.

congrats!

That m could be a 8 on its side.

it isn't a 173lb it is to small and light I think it is a 73lb

the t73 is on the left side under the horn and the rest is on the right.

It says trenton on the side. Try just the numbers.

this is a trenton anvil I would like to know the date to it. The number is T73m4973. Sorry no pics.

Good job, it looks better than my Trenten.

Send a sample of it to a blacksmith in your area and see what he thinks.

The housing for the gears? You have to take the blower side off first, than take off the blades. And there sould be three bolts on the gear box, take them out and whack it with a ruber mallet.

What do you think of it after paint? I sandblasted it and painted it.

They both look very good, but I like the top one better.

I like it. It looks realy good to me.

You could use a big rope cleet off a dock. They evan look kind of like an anvil.

Thanks yall now that I think of it there is a little bit of red paint here and their on it.

ya thats what I ment Western not Indain. My mistake.

I got this from an old farmer, I offered him $20.00 but he said, just take it. All the parts are there the teath on the gears ar all there, and once I sand blast it, it will look good as new. What color is the proper color for this brand of blower? :D :D

An hour in a fire isn't going to do much in the way of pack carburizing unless it's a blown fire at near welding heat.

Get a chunck of pipe that the sword can fit into, seal one end put the sword in. Then crush some charcoal to dust and pack that all around the blade untill the pipe is almost full, put in some cardboard and seal the ather end. Bild a big fire and toss it in. Let it sit in the fire until the pipe is red hot and keep it red hot for about an hour then quench it in a barral of water.

This is the latest of my knives. Overall length: 14 1/2in, blade length: 8 1/4in, blade height: 1 3/4in, handle: stacked leather, buttcap: deer antler, guard: steel, blade: Dodge leaf spring.

They both look great!

I'd go with a 12ga shotgun with a 9 round extention tube.

You could use a chunk of rail road track, the shouldn't brake or bend.

looks good to me.
