what the weight?

its a 45 lb plate wait from my bench set. its crazy ...... i never notest how much power is sucked rite up in stead of going back in to the steel your working with. haveing a real anvil is so much nicer. i love it! it took me about half an hr to get used to the hammer bouncing back a bit when i was using it :)

this is what i had been using sens last fall :(

hopefully this works an you all can see these.

going out in a few to us it ... ill take some an try to figure out how to get them on here .

i got my first anvil to do AAAALLLLRRRIIIGGGHT!!! it was an early fathers/birth day gift . 150 lb's for $130. it's in good shape ... i think any ways . im not an expert. but i cant wait to try it out.

Were would you buy a tommahawk drifter?

Very nice. Thank you.

Yaaaa... That's what I thought . Is there any other little trick I can do to help? Besides the drill thing. I don't have one for metal.

Hello guys! I could use some help.... Iv been making different tools. Like a pick an a hammer thingy... But every time I go to make the hole for a handle it bulged out on one side an makes it lopsided . Is there a trick to making the hole. Or just keep practicing ?

I like to put my coals in an old paint can put the cover on an let it go out... then use in in the next fire. works well.

I'm sorry... I have a hard time spelling. I ment medieval style weapons. Sorry about that.

I would like to try my hand at making midevil stile weps. So I'm just wondering what would be good to make them with for a begginer. Thank you!

Really really cool. Definitely gonna try an make some for the little ones.

thank you rich.. i will try an will post pics. An for you Bigfoot the shield will not be all steel just a bit an my skills are ill my friend i would Frisbee toss that shield at your head before you were even near me.... ooohhh yaaaa!!!!

HOOOOLLLLLYYYYY MOOOLLLYYY!!!! That is a lot of cash for a book. But im shore its worth it.

ya this is what i was going to do but thought it would be cool to forgweld them together. Im going to try an make a round shield. I wanted to weld the to leaf springs together and have the ends rap around the edges... holding it together. Or at least making it look like it was.

I dont mean this in a xxxxxx way but if i wanted to just do it the easy way an use i welder i would. But i would think that would defeat the hole purpose of me learning blacksmithing . IF leaf springs dont work well i will use something elts. i just want to no how to do it in a general way.

thank you guys .

Just wondering what's the best way to weld to things together with out a welder. Should I just heat both pieces up nice an hot an bang the xxxx out of them? I'm going to try an make an X out of two leaf springs.

OH wow ... thank you for that link that was nice. i learn from seeing so that just helped me so much. i wish i new some people around me who smithed i would learn so fast if i could spend just one day watching.

sounds good.. thank you. the book i was reading was talking about doing something weird on the anvil. didn't sound rite.

In know this is kind of a stupid question but what's the best way for me to bring a rod to a point an make a pick out of it? I have a book that tells how but its hard to under stand.

Well as it would happen to day i went an got it... An an hour later i was given a free brand spanken new ball peen hammer. WOOT what a day what a day. i dont feel so bad buying xxxx thing after the hammer if i get to use it well good if not i can just tell my self the $4 went to the hammer. oh and the handle is made by wells brothers company. you guys know if there any good? it's xxxxxxx heavy duty i can tell ya that.

I know $4 dollars is not really expensive but i have very little cash to spend on my new hobby an need to get all i can for what i got. so i like to ask you guys what you think so im wasting the cash i can spend on it. but im going to go get in tomorrow an hopefully it will come in handy for me :)

Ya it has the handal an as I can tell its in good shape as far as I can tell. how hard is it to finde dies for these? Can u get them new?

found a threading die at a shop today and the guy wants $4 for it. i know that's not much but i don't no if it's worth it... it seamed like it was in ok shape as far as i know but that doesn't say much about things like that. An the other thing is should it have different sizes attachments for the middle. all it had was a 5/8th. would you guys get it?
