Welcome to IFI. Don't worry about the spelling Most of us can't spell all that well ourselves. Finnr

They are out there. Last fall I snagged a very nice lakeside 86 pound anvil for 125 . It's just a matter of keeping an eye open and avoiding paying ebay prices. Finnr

Looking real good! Keep pounding! Finnr

Super!!! I love it.! Finnr

Sorry It has taken me so long to get a response in here. The hook tools I use on my pole lathe are made from coil spring.They hold up very well turning green wood as most of those lathes were used for. Finnr

Good to hear that you are getting on well Sam. Take care of yourself so you can get back to swatting hot metal! Finnr

That came out real nice!! Finnr

Beautiful knife! Finnr

Welcome aboard!!! Good to have you here. Finnr

Very nice! I would love a few hundred board feet of English oak to play with. It's far too expensive for me here though. Finnr

Blue Print 0133 the famous 55 forge. Finnr

Looking real good John! Finnr

Howdy Neighbor! Good to have you aboard. Finnr

Good to have you aboard. Nice to see a neighbor join up. Finnr

Number for sure on the Lakeside is L97100. Just did the chalk thing over it and it shows up plain as day. Maybe the mystery anvil is Trenton made. Thanks a bunch Guys Finnr

Great piece Brian. You have me all inspired to do something similar. Finnr

Looking real nice!!! Finnr

eyrian, you can us a piece of pipe to dish your spoon or you can dish it right in teh hardy hole of your anvil. Any depression will serve. Finnr

The tube dishing tools can be easily made from various sizes of Schedule 40 pipe. That sweet little dishing hammer is now on my list of hammers to make. The tool used in the first segment is a monkey tool . Just a hole the size of your tenon drilled into a piece of bar stock. It should also have a small hole drilled in from the side to let out crud. While the maker was doing assembly he also used a rivet tool to be sure that his pieces were seated properly on the tenon. Scrolling pliers are fairly easy to make . Just small tongs with conical grippers. You can also modify a pair of cheap needle nose pliers. Does that cover all of it? Finnr

It's a gazonta. That hole gazonta something. Finnr

Prayers for you here too. If in fact he was holding something this goes from an assault to an armed assault. Press charges for all it's worth. Finnr /Art

Don't get some tongs. You have all that you need to make yourself some. There are excellent BPs on doing them in our Blue Print area. Finnr

Fantastic James!!! You did a great job there! Finnr
