Hardy cutter, sort of a different design(i think)
Finnr replied to Sam Salvati's topic in Blacksmithing, General Discussion
I pounded mine from an old crowbar. and had to weld on a collar to make it fit well, Works great with the odd redressing. Finnr -
Work table? Oh Yeah I saw it once it's under all the stuff!!! Finnr

According to my Dad who would fix anything that broke in any way he could. It was too cold to weld if you couldn't put down the stinger. That is if it froze to your hand. Finnr

I use AC stick and a cheap nasty flux core wire welder. Finnr

Pliers work, dunno why you couldn't do mini tongs. Finnr

Taking up smithing added one more thing for me to scream at the TV about. I do medieval re enactment so I already was screaming about things being from the wrong time period etc/ Now I scream at the "smiths" too. Finnr

that held an upsetting block the vise you have shots of looks to be a bolt heading vise. Woodsmith has one nearly identical to it that is complete. Check his gallery I think he has pictures of it up. Finnr

Augmenting the cost of tools...
Finnr replied to Blacksmith Jim's topic in Tools, general discussion
Even rustic or old fashioned items should display pride of workmanship and the skill of the maker if you want continued sales. Finnr -
I got started because I couldn't find decent blades for the work i was doing. At that time I was trapping (before PETA) and spent nearly all winter in the woods. A good knife is your very best friend. Finnr

I would love to see what the bottom side of the heel looks like. It almost looks to me like the top plate was added on to the anvil. I could be wrong. I have been before. Finnr

You do wonderful work. Keep posting them. Finnr

I like Barges cement for tacking on something before I sew it up. Never caused me any trouble. Finnr

That is a very nice looking anvil. Where are those made? The only ne I have ever seen with feet like that was a photograph of a medieval piece. Finnr

Depends on you. How long will it take you to become expert enough at blade smithing to attempt one? Finnr
