Mate, thats a great looking shop. My long term goal is to build a period style shop using cut slab for walls and hand cut shingles. Yours is a great inspiration

As a chronic DIY'er i have done a lot of things that were probably not the most economical in both time and money, but i also gain a lot of satisfaction from what i have done and it is also continually adding the my bank of skills. Another thing that i would consider in a case like this is i am keeping something alive and restoring it that otherwise would be of little use. These are just my views though. Excellent job on the repair mate and very informative report too. Thanks Darren

I finished a stand on the weekend http://www.iforgeiron.com/gallery/image/37086-stand/ http://www.iforgeiron.com/gallery/image/37087-stand/

Thanks Craig, I will check that out. A lot of them are close to home.

G'Day I don’t know if you have Cigweld consumables available in the US but you could also look at Cobalarc Toolcraft for a capping run on an anvil face. At 55-60Rc Its what i am considering using on my Wilkinson repair. As previously stated a trial run on 250 plate then laying into it with a hammer will give a good test in worst case scenario ie; relatively soft underlying material. Hope that helps

I didn't worry about it at the moment mate. I can put it in later if i need it.
