  6. All you need in that Champion is a small puddle at the bottom of the gear casing. The gears sling the oil to keep things lubricated. Finnr

  14. Grant: As Frosty said we are elite. We are so because we have skills lacked by others in this too fast modern world. In my experience though blacksmiths in general are NOT. Elitist in the sense that we withhold our knowledge. Most are more than willing to share and some will nearly drag your backside over to the forge and tell you "Hey Look at this!!!. Isn't that neat!?" and then teach you how to do it. Finnr
  15. PEG is commonly used to protect woods . Polyethylene glycol Polyethylene glycol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Finnr
