ugh, my FAAAAAVORITE part (sarcasim) grinding fileing and sanding, all done by hand (because i have no other choice) :P

blade close up:

I got a bunch of rasps and decided to play with one and wanted to make a rugged all around knife.
pics to prove it!

this anvil looks like a fisher which suffered a fissure

wow i reeally like the pattern of the big one

don a, you want him to START there???? wow, i need to catch up...

fe wood, you could (if you are a good welder with the right rod) fix those edges, i have seen those bolt down holes before, im not sure what brand (firsher maybe) i saw them on, fix the edges and use it as a demo/ loner anvil

Thanks for letting me know about this vise Joshua. I just replied to the ad. I should be going to the demo I just missed out on participating. Was that you who got the last spot . Good to hear you got in. Are you going to make it to Waldie's in Milton?

tohmas, when i said destroyed i really meant damaged, with missing peices and cracks... that kind of stuff

go for it mr. newman, its not in my budjet at the moment, will you be going to the brian brazeal demo for the OABA? i am signed up to take the course.

better???

oops :S ill see if i can fix them

i was surfing the web and found this: http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-tools-home-renovation-materials-hand-tools-Blacksmith-vice-W0QQAdIdZ349882691 anyone ever seen one? looks interesting... should i get it if possible ???

so, we all have seen an anvil with a cracked faceplate, broken horn or heel, gouges in the face or body, chisle marks beyond repair and bad weld fixes, so lets put them all in one place! here is one i saw, a guy tryed to sell this 169lb peter wright to me for $385

owen.. can we pleeeeease see some pictures?? prittty please with sugar and a cherry on top???

i'll come strike!!!! just let me borrow that anyang for... as "short " while

so what do s set of tongs like that cost??? (i DISPISE making tongs)

what is that you are forging in the video???

Here you go.
Dan

wow! that is a nice deal! on day i would like to own a nice big anvil like that, pictures on faceboook soon???
josh

yes a schimatic! thats the word i was looking for

nice shop, do you have pictures of the layout (where things are inside)???

so i should get the nicest power hammer i can afford as soon as i can... correct ???

i do not have much welding ability (seeing as im 15 and dont own a welder) but i feel that to get to the next stage in my shop i need an easyer way to move metal and do not want to damage my soulder by hammering too much, i would much rather buy a nice small LG to start. so i am looking domwhere in he area of 4 grand for a nice 25-50lb right? not as bad as i thaught
