The trucks are not there just the box it's up on a cement block wall about 4' tall they used to put grain in one end so it has a place to put an auger under it. But thanks for all the info

Depends on how old.  I salvaged a number of 1/2" stays from the rotten remains of a RR car in the desert---just a pile of rotten wood and rattlesnakes---and they were low carbon real wrought iron.  I would expect yours to be low carbon too and perhaps real wrought iron *if* it was old enough.

Ok thank you I think it is old enough it has only one big sliding door on the side and then one small one on the top or roof as it is everything else is wood even the roof and floor oh yes the ladder up to the top is from metal u shaped also bolted on 

how do I tell if it is real rot wrough iron ?? 

Hope this right place to ask 

I have the salvage of an old wooden box car it's all wood but the bolts that bind it together some are over 12' long and two inch around some are less and the corners are plate bent in a angle to protect the corners. I was wandering what kind of steel these bolts would possibly be made of . Any thoughts or knowage  thank you 

These came home with me from a friends place he collects and sell things but these he save for me because they needed work well one on the right is sold a friend needed it and the other is fixed but still needs a leg, and is looking for a good home  

I got these from a good friend said they need a good home and I think they have found one 

do u know if it is all there he said it was but it does not look like it to me

I just got these this week at rummage sale for 20.00 could not pass it up
Not sure about the drill thing but the man says they go together an have same name

A friend of mine gave me these

We'll to me it looks like a come along you would have a chain hooked on something and you would use the center lever and pull with one chain then reconnect the anker chain move pivot up chain reset front chain pull

I got an I pad mini so I can read this form and more easer than on my I phone . And a lot of great family time with my two grand sons

The parts for this followed me home a few weeks ago. A 30" coulter for the base, with casters, and an old planter packing wheel for the rack. The 4" square tubing cutoff on top holds the punches I don't use often. Small shop, can roll it out of the way when done.

hi from 13 miles north of joplin mo I have not read this topic till today so We should get together sometime

well I always heat them up red hot and Quench with water this most times I could remove with little effort if not I heat it more I have completely restored a 37 ford and several old tractors and lots of old machinery hope it helps

ok here's my story the wife has had 4 ditioticolus stents in the hospital those year and at work we are working weekends till last month . I got my forge done and my simitty done but a tree from the neibors fell on my shop colasping the roof on one side now I have it supported with jacks but the neibors won't me on his side to trim rest of tree down and won't help with the cost of repair becouse he says the tree is in the fence roll then the fence to the north got broken down and now has to be cleaned and repaired before Christmas so my donkies can graze that pasture so that a job in it self then the grandson got bit by a dog and a quick trip to Norman to check on him which he's a tough kid but will have some good story scars later . but this weekend the wife and went flea market jumping and found a nice hammer for 2.00 and a great time looking but I get 2 weeks off at the end of the year maybe the time will be there then

thanks for all the info I'm going to build one of these jigs and make spoons for family and friends besides the wife likes them and has thoughts for them also

looking for photo of tongs made from railroad spikes. for a photo is worth a thousand words

Ok there is a fix. Find a good bone cracker some people call them Chiropractor and have them pop your hands back into place it may take a few times but works for me. I know when mine is out when I can't lay my thumb over to my little finger across my palm without pain

I would use them to put my loose change in and when full there will be a new blacksmithing tool

What where some prices and sizes on the anvils?

I was at a flea market today and found this hammer . But there was a Lot more included is some photos the flea market is at the junction Of 69 and 59 going to Grove Ok called the strip mall

these are the flowers I have made the white ones are candle stands that I made for my niece wedding and now I have figured out where to get patterns for all other types you just take apart the plastic flowers and there it is trace it and go. :)

I use the to cut sheet tin by pulling it through it just use a good rod to hang onto

its a bull rake tooth the wooden rake pole was split so the steel would slide between the two parts and then bolt in place. the steel would last longer than the wood some had the dished out sides as this one does and some had a pocket in which the wood would slide into  then the point was on top of that . I can get photos of mine if you need

looks like a heavy duty pipe flare tool that is missing parts ... that is if the smaller holes have threads in them ide expect a plate with the cone shaped tool to bolt on ... at least from the pictures that what i would figure...

got this the other day at a sale would like to know what it is and how it is used  thank you
