The back jaw swivels to hold wedge shaped pieces. They were make in several styles for different tasks.

Clever!...as Thomas says....."You ever used tongs with a pivoting face to hold tapered materials?"

Oh my...how green is my envy?

Good score and decent pictures!

Someone walking into my shop smoking gets me irritated, grinding their cigarette butt into my floor is a totally different experience.

Tundra, now that is something neat!

really good score!

excellent!

Excellent, I really like him/her. Did you do the squirrel too?

I think its marvelous. Whimsy, as Thomas said is spice to life and lifts mundane to lovable.

...a man with a Rune and a 500 pound anvil, and I thought that I was blessed with a GoldWing and a 400 pound Peter Wright. I suppose there are those who have and then there are those who really have.:)

Is that a Honda Valkyrie I espy on the right hand side?

And the word is "spelled". Spelt is wheat. :rolleyes: unless you are from old South Africa.

I rather enjoyed this topic and the little banter and gentle argie-bargie that went with it. A bit of light relief from all the political correctness that is thrust upon us and particlarly as all the protaganists appeared suitably well disposed to their subject. So, to you all thank you and Stu, I know you are touchy on spelling. Syllabus is spelt with an a not an i.

Nice job!

Interestingly, I wonder how many other members of this site are also motorcyclists. GoldWing and Stratoliner me me. Unfortunately I'm on the wrong continent to join you, but if you do ride to the conference, have a safe one.

Iron,

I have followed this thread with much interest. I have had my C40 Anyang (88lbs) for over 10 years and it has performed flawlessly with one exception, the oiler. Please give me some insight into what has been done by the American importer to remedy this rather irritating problem.

I can vouch for everything positive said about the Anyang. I bought mine directly from the factory in China through the internet and the service I received from them was unbelievably excellent. I also have a Chinese lathe which is ok-ish but not in the league of the Anyang
Thanks,

Kevan

Dave, well said. Any further discussion would be superfluous.

Elegant!

Very professional looking job.

Jacques Ireally must come and see this most excellent construction of yours. I will give you a call over the weekend·

I have watched the progress with much interest and am very impressed with the result. As Beth said, sometimes you have to ignore the hours, they are gone, in any case, your effort will be around for a long time. Well done.

Nothing wrong with that!

"....forged in the crucible of training" I fail to see the problem. It is perfectly acceptable metaphorical language, and quite eloquent in fact. How did this lead to blacksmiths shoeing horses?

cool acquisition...enjoy.

Mine is about 32x32 and is more woodshop than metal but metal is slowly taking more and more space.

I like it....a lot. Really cool shop!
