That's a bit out of my price range, but thanks.

I like that idea Steve. I wonder if there would be a problem using the galvanized metal because my pipe will be inside and go through my roof. I don't know if it would get hot enough to put off any dangerous fumes. Thanks!

I'm building a side draft chimney and my plans call for a 10" pipe. I'm having trouble locating this size pipe. I think it should be pretty thick say at least 22ga. I would appreciate any help. Thanks

I have 2 anvils, both bought in GA. My first is a Peter Wright 83 lbs. my second is a Hill that is 155 lbs. Both are in nice shape with a couple of dings but very good for the age of the anvils. I purchased the PW in 2009 and the Hill 2010.

Some pictures, I hope this works OK. I tried some earlier and they were way too big. I cleaned up my anvil and took out most of the chisel marks. I wish I would have taken a before picture.

I picked up my second anvil today and I really don't know much about it. It's a Hill 155 lb. It is very good shape with some small cuts in the face and one chip one one edge. I haven't been able to find much on the web so far but it appears it's English and could be made some where around 1830-1870. I have a small Peter Wright 83 lb. and it's great I just wanted something larger to work on heavier stock. If anyone has more information, I would appreciate your input. Thanks

A man I met the other day, who has been a blacksmith for his entire life and has a large business.He tells me that the steel out there does vary some and they get steel that they try every method they have ( coal, gas, induction ) and can't get it to forge weld. I have just started trying to learn how so it has been frustrating. I'm in a learning curve as well. jimbob, I plan on coming to a meeting but I had plans yesterday. I had already found the guild's web site and I want to come meet you guys.

I just picked up some A-36 stock from the local supplier. I was wondering if anyone has tried to forge weld with this steel. I'm pretty new and I'm trying to learn to forge weld with my Forge Master blacksmith gas forge. I have had very little luck so far and I was told the kinds of steel can make a big difference in your ability to forge weld. Any information would be appreciated.
