Being a newbe myself, I made a hold down today. It is made from a 1/2 inch rd stock, and is used in the pritchel hole in the anvil.

Have you seen these sites. KnifeDogs.com or British Blades.com

They are both knifemaking sites.

A newbe question, What is a good metal to make a triangular bell out of? I have been thinking about making a couple, but I don't know if a person needs a special metal for the nice clear ring that they can make.

Mercury is a heavy metal, and it is some of the causes of cancer amonge other things.

IF YOU ARE GOING TO USE IT, PLEASE WEAR PROTECTION GEAR. IT CAN BE ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN.

It is one of the things that people was trying to get out of the gound and streams, but now the light buld industrey is using it in the new save energy bulbs. Rember they was trying to get rid of flouresent light bulbs because of the mercury that they containd. The new energy savers has 4 times as much mercury in them as flouresents.

Mercury is still used in prospecting. If you know of places that sell prospecting equipment, they might have some on hand. It is not very expencive.

Thanks Frosty

If you mean Yerington, which is south east of Reno. That is only about 370 miles north of me. It might have to be a weekend thing.

Thanks for the reply

LeeRoy

I would like to meet some of the Blacksmiths in the Las Vegas, Nevada area

I am retired, and would like to learn about blacksmithing.

LeeRoy

Frosty
I like your improvements, I will most likely follow-up with them.

LeeRoy

I needed to clear the workbench for a couple larger projects, so I built this lightweight
grinder stand.

Any comments welcome.

Sorry about picture size, I will resize the next one.

But I have a metal carptenters toolbox that I think I will build a insert like
Junksmith's, but only for part of the length.

I would replace the blade, because usless you get it perfectly in balance it could
cause enouph viberation to ruin the bearings on the shaft to fail.

Just m2cents.
