    Hello, Please, Do you have any idea of the value of this swage block? It looks pretty unique with the shapes for tongs and horseshoes. It's for a friend who wants to get rid of some equipment Thank you.

    On the vidéo it is wide open.

    Honestly, I did this in less than 15 minutes.... The shopping of the parts took longer ! The flame is usable but far from being as neutral as what I was able to get out of my NAB burner. I wanted to compare the methods of frabrication. In the end, I find that is very big as burner, it requires electricity and it is expensive. With a head to make a ribbon,... we'll see if that deserved the work.

    LOL! The Fisher, wire brush and head&shoulders, everything will be fine ! For the HB, I didn't see it «live» but I don't think there is some repair on it... anyway, my friend will use it for his students,... better beat that one than his good one. The price was very good for both....

    There is no problem. Jim Batson wrote the book how to make a forging press. You can find it on the web. For the specs, numbers are always more pessimistic than reality. I would not go with a 1hp or 2hp engine ... but a 3hp would be enough for my pump, I would bet a $ 2 there on it ... as for the Pats at Superbowl 2018. LOL !!!

    jtknives - I have the Jim Batson book, and a 3hp would be suffisant for my setup. My first forging press was a converted artisanal log splitter and I have got great results (1.5hp and power steering pump). I'm very excited to see that one on duty. Thanks for the maths !

  22. blacksmith-450

    I took up the weld all the way between the main beam and the table beam. I also added a belt to hold the cylinder in place, it is not yet installed in the picture. I still have to do the motor support and then install the hoses. It going ! Merry Christmas to everyone !!!
