All i was alluding to was the fact that theory, in language AND blacksmithing practice is very important. I am also a high school dropout. I am a qualified industrial blacksmith, trained by a highschool dropout, who was also a qualified industrial blacksmith. Theory comes before action. Also, knowing the theory of this, our english language, is paramount to understanding AND teaching anything to our fellow speakers of this fine language. Never let the past dictate your ability to learn and affect the future, for the better.

Wow. America must be a terrible place to injure yourself. Over here you can come up with any number of ingenious ways to move things, and if the extremely slight chance of injuring yourself occurs, ambulance and medical attention is entirely fee free. I suggest working out what could go wrong, and equip yourself with the knowledge not only to avoid any issues with moving it, but also what to do if something does fall over. Thats how Stonehenge was built. They didnt worry about insurance companies and their fear tactics, they just knew what to do. (They didnt use slaves either)

He said then not than.... is that enough?

Rebound is for those who spend more time "ringing" on the anvil instead of actually forging.

I like how however mild your language might have been, it now looks like you used one of two very profane obscenities. I have plenty of large bits of timber and plate to use to mount the foot. Not bad for a scrap pile find eh?

Never weighed it, but it would have to be near 100kg or more. At the moment it is sitting on a bit of timber at the foot, am yet to make the bracket to bind the leg to the table.

There you go, i was thinking turn o'the century, but great to see that mr heine himself can date the old punch! If it isnt too rooted, it might make a few things a bit easier. Set it up with your touchmark so when a job is finished give it a whiz, and it is stamped! Good to see i wasnt too far off with the date

Haha wouldnt it be a magnificent slide! I really cant guess what it might be, even "fluming" is a new word for me, and I will endeavour to learn more!

I think that punch press is likely to be MUCH older tthan the 1980s Darryl, closer to ( but not quite as old as) 1880s. The later heine presses had many more " user friendly" additions like vee belts and provision for guarding.

I have a 6" vice built with no leg, I've always known it as a flogging vice. It is mounted by bolting to a shorter post than usual and because it is so low, top tools or heavy sledges are not a problem like they are on a normal height vice. Notice I have spelled it "vice" since it is from an english speaking maker.

Set up my 255mm (9") vice this week. The bench it is on is bedecked with railway sleepers. (Railroad ties for those in need of translation) I look forward to many hours smiting on this big old xxxxer.

No 3 is a childrens slippery slide. Made for when children were children, not bits of digital fluff. Had fun walking through there discussing that stuff with you Darryl, and I think the final picture is either from a heavy rack saw, or from a large pump to drain mine shafts.

If you need any refractory cement Darryl, for casting or mortar, I have tonnes of it. Literally. 4 tonnes.

Australia, Cambodia, Chile, Cook Islands, Costa Rica, Cuba, Cocos Island, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, France, French Guiana, French Southern and Antarctic Lands, The Faroes, Guadaloupe, Holland, Heard and Mcdonald Islands, Iceland, North Korea, Laos, Luxemburg, Mayotte, MArtinique, Nepal, Netherlands, Netherlands Antilles New Zealand, Norway, Panama, Puerto Rico, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Samoa, Taiwan, Thailand and the United Kingdom to name a few use red white and blue also.... Happy world year!

I need a steady flow of rust and heavy equipment to create a sense of gravity.

Very nice Darryl!

The velocipedes i am making have a decorative finial on the prow, and one customer asked for a king brown on his. He calls his business "Mulga Bills Bicycles" He was surprised to learn that the king brown is known as a Mulga snake.

I like it! Cant help with the finish though. I have used black boot polish to good effect though

Lucky me little bantam darlins are locked up safe and sound in a toolbox at night. It is about 3.5m tall. Back, sides, roof and floor are all 25mm thick babinda pine (silky oak) Got to get some matching doors for it. 1/3 is chook pen, the other part is garden shed. It is even mouse proof!

Nah the 2 masseys are fine in there, its ME in the loungeroom that is the issue!

Proud of you das. Been in that exact position.... Just scraped through without having to chop the house in half....

Furlongs are for horse races, Inches are for rough dressmakers Everything else can be measured in metric with no problems! This carpet snake, or "nope rope" would win in a slow race! He wasnt in a hurry

Scared this bloke out of my shed tonight. If he keeps the mice down, he is welcome, as long as he stays away from the chooks! About 3m long ( that is 149129/10000000 of a furlong for the metrically challenged)
