  1. this has been a very interesting discussion and humorous as well. have had quite a few chuckles as i read it. however seems to be getting hijacked by discussion temp of flame. good subject but maybe needs its own topic. :) i too have had interesting questions but so far not during demos as i havent done very many. mine were related to firefighting. good idea topic has been split off as "temp and color" in heat treat, general
  2. looking good mike. things are always more interesting to put back together than taking them apart. looking forward to getting those pretty white walls dirty :rolleyes: get any snow out there yet
  3. one thing for certain, they have a great view. now if everything last a while you wont feel like a wasted exercise. nice job
  4. viking, where are you located? yes too bad you didnt find us earlier, was a good meeting.
  5. just think of all the things that were built before computers. thats when engineers were engineers and thinkers not button pushers
  6. Gee mike, sounds like you had a fun ride. any bite marks on the seat. I swung by about 5 but you had already left. glad to hear you made in one piece. Dick
  7. its a little late for this year but the denton steam weekend would be a good place to check out
  8. yesterday i had to cut a piece of 1 5/16 round stock. when i put it in the vise on the bandsaw i couldnt get it tight enough and it kept spinning. i cut a piece of old inner tube and wrapped the stock with it and then clamped in vise. it held nicely and i was able to complete the cut.
  9. i periodicly give mine a light brushing with a flapper disc and then wash down with diesel fuel. cleans up pretty nice

  14. Curly, Pretty neat job. I like it. I have had some folks after me to make one up with a draft horse on it. Still in the thinking stage. Seldom
  15. nothing to be ashamed of here. nice work for first time. it will only get better.
  16. it is an axle off of some type machine. when i was a kid we used them all the time to stake out critters on a chain. chain had a big loop on one end and the axle was slide through it then driven into ground with sledge hammer. nothing ever pulled them out.
  17. well right off the bat, my wife accused me of watching ballet because of the sound track :unsure: was a very interesting video. i really liked how there was no wasted motion there, every movement had a reason and if was just great to watch.
  18. Teebs, The possibilities are endless. Use the shoes as if they were just a piece of iron and heat and hammer any way you want them. you can make candle holders, hoof picks, shoe horns, just about anything
