  1. I have no answer other than whats been mentioned, but holy moly you got some serious heat abilities thar' !
  2. hole saw and be done with it in a blink. use oil, sounds like you definitely have a dull one, I cut 5/8 with a bi metal holesaw even. oil and a sharp holesaw is your friend
  3. Ahem..... I have to say you are waaaaaaay incorrect mr. frosty on your Powder coating information. I happen to have first hand knowledge here as its what I do for a living. There are a xxxx ton of weather durable powders available, there are mixes specifically for durability and UV degradation etc etc. I was going to recommend to the OP that he have the guy enlist the services of a good knowledgeable powder coater. There is no way I would choose "paint" over "powder" if I had the option, especially wouldnt choose krylon, even the worst of powder is better that spray bomb. Please visit my web , as I guess its my resume for ya to look at so, you might get the idea I speak from experience. pluuuus, I came here to learn smithing and I have learned tons and tons, so I get to pay back with knowledge of what I do in this instance.
  4. I get that too, but I'm 48 and the girlfriend is 26
  5. yes, your here. This forum is like the branches of a big assed tree, if you take the time, you can travel and learn buttloads as you make your way along the branches. welcome
  6. very nice! The leaf work is pimp. and frosty, I like the pig tail too.
  7. I would jump all over that if I was closer. xxxx fine deal indeed. if you decide to hassle with the shipping I'm game. it would go to a good home :-)
  8. very cool indeed. you sir a veritable wealth of knowledge and I for one appreciate all of your input and such. I'm a noob here but have learned to read and watch your threads and posts already.
  9. for some reason out of all the videos I have been watching , and I mean watching the people, mannerisms, blows, angles etc etc, This one really jumps out to me, awesome.
  10. especially if you happen to grab some sodium filled ones
  11. beautiful! thanks for the explanation! I agree, in this video, the young guy is the leader and dictating with hammer signals and now I understand there is a method to the madness, but in real world, is the old guy the master and the young guy is the apprentice, although, hes advanced now, was that the situation then and he is now/then stepping back and allowing the young apprentice to call the shots.
  12. and to think if there was a shoulders width room, someone stood in it and started swinging a hammer and never struck another. wow! just wow! OSHA would have had a field day indeed :-)
  13. I think in the one I posted, the apprentice is lead and he does the signalling with either a tap or a drag of the hammer face, "I think the drag means its all good and I got it from here" and the master backs away while the apprentice finishes. I look at this video and think it must be an honor for a young man to stumble across a mentor such as he and be able to apprentice and carry on the old masters legacy of knowledge and skill. The master must be proud of his student when he sees this video I'll bet, notice the kids hammer angles and strokes and planting them where he is supposed to be.
