Looks cool, any chance you could take the roll off so we could admire the base? I like the design :)

SUN in my welding helmet
Willway Forge replied to ironwolfforgeca's topic in Welding/Fab General Discussion
Here is your answer. Takes a little getting used to, have to flip the lens with your hand. But it will satisfy your issue. http://www.discountsafetygear.com/huntsman-welding-helmet-leather-800-series.html?utm_source=googlepepla&utm_medium=adwords&id=21619610058&utm_content=pla&gclid=CIDq2JfvkrcCFW-CQgodo0UACg Matt -
Help with a South Bend Milling Machine
Willway Forge replied to pigpen's topic in MIlls, Milling machines, etc
I just fitted up an old leather belt that I wasn't using anymore. Overlapped it by 3", filleted it and used good'ol Elmer's glue to fasten the fillets together. Worked like a champ. That is what the original Southbend manual calls for as well. Matt -
I made this one last weekend. Those are my first 4 nails. It was pretty fun, now I just need to make about 25,000 more nails ;)

What do Blacksmiths drive?
Willway Forge replied to TheFullSmokingBar's topic in Blacksmithing, General Discussion
Honda Element 2003. I dont have a picture, but I have placed a "Blacksmith Edition" decal on the tailgate. Super vehicle, lots of room for carrying everything to job sites, great on gas. attachment-1.php -
I like it. Well done.

A better and safer bench grinder wire brush
Willway Forge replied to territorialmillworks's topic in Grinders, Sanders, etc
If you dont want to through your work, listen in. I use a large wire cup wheel on a variable speed "HF" buffer/grinder ($30). The wire cup does NOT through your work. It may lightly grab from time to time, but it will not send them at light speed into your melon. I have three diferent sizes and corses of cup wheels. With the variable speed buffer you adjust to suit your needs. Try it and you will see, much much safer. Matt -
My friend, those are beautiful. Nice work. Matt

What's the brand of your band saw machine?
Willway Forge replied to bosox's topic in Saws, bandsaws, hack saws, etc
I have the Dewalt hand held that must have a million miles on it. I picked it up used six years ago in a very used condition. I have run about 15 to 20 blades through it on countless projects. If this one should ever quit on me (which is highly unlikely) it will be replaced with a brand new one. These are fantastic machines. Seriously, the other makers of these saws just dont compare.

Uneven ground = tri-pod stand, without a doubt.

Wow, that was certainly your lucky day! -
Simple and complex all in one, keeps the eye entertained. Nice work.
