I am Building this one . http://www.metalwebnews.com/manuals/knife-grinder.pdf Sam

Sent you a PM Brother on what I take . Sam

Yep that is what they were . and now they are Zombie tools LOL ;)

If you do any project 1 way, your kids will be on it, in it , or around it you will Never fail ! yes I consider it one way not three . Sam

No Problem Don I would rather be busy then not working . ;) Sam

I Guess you are a bit busy to accept the offer ? It still stands to help you . Sam

Follow the Electric codes in your State and make sure you have the correct wire for the plug on your welder . folks here frown upon safety issues as we do Not want to lose anyone due to improper wiring or use of welding equipment . Sam

Yes

Welcome from the Hills of Tennessee ! Sam

I have to agree with Steve . Sam

Very sweet knife well done . Sam

Now that is funny .

The reason Copper is so “Universal” is Copper – “Cu” is a natural element, a natural metal, and it has a vast amount of special qualities. It has a very high conductivity; it is malleable, and ductile. Copper has what is known as microstructure – meaning a metal with Crystalline when in a solid form. The crystal structure of a solid metal refers to the internal structure or arrangement of the atoms in an ordered, repeating, three-dimensional pattern. It is the Structure of the atoms in copper that gives it the ability to blend with so many other metals to create copper-alloys . to put it in a very simple term it is the very small grain structure that expands and allows the other metal atoms into the copper and blend well with most all metals .

Welcome from another Tennessean

No sir not at all . Sam :ph34r:

Tig use soapstone to mark where you are looking at adding it to your forge. even though I would reset the three (3) burners evenly spaced myself ()---()---() like such and patch the old holes . the forge would run better and optimal forging temp would be obtained very fast and efficiently if you did it this way . IMHO Sam

Cool lil tree now put some Blue bottles on it and it is done . Sam

This what I use http://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-tools-supplies/stock-work-finishing/stock-bedding-adhesives/acraglas-gel-reg--prod1038.aspx Sam

Well Done on the chat and good looking Grinds thank you for your Hard Work . Sam

I am In Sparta Tenn . Sam

Brian , Good welds I knew you could do it and you proved my point that the Lil Welder and someone that knows how to use it can in-fact weld 1/2 plate with a lil instruction. Good work Brother . Sam

Hillbilly had it right you had crud in the rose bud . Sam

Your Welds Are Fine prep the 1/2 plate with a bevel and sew the thing up and start Forging Steel . Sam

Murfreesboro TN is not fare from me at all Sam

It will work fine .025 wire just means you will have to make more passes on the plate Gas is the way to go with your unit I have .030 on mine W/25 % /75% Mix I prep (Bevel) 1/2 plat all the time and weld it up even on Structural Stuff If you can weld with that unit (you have not shown any photos ) then you can weld a simple Fire pot . debating the issue is more of a personal preference of one's ability then the ability of the Machine that does nothing unless turned on by a welder and used . it will do the job very proficiently.
