Dragons lair

Goldstock, Do you wipe your butt? It will only get dirty again. I can tell you have never served aboard anything bigger than a row boat. A clean shop is a safer shop.

Turn on the radio and sing along. Worked for a friend. Hope you have a better voice than his. Ken

Farriers anvil for sure. 2 Pritchels and a clip horn. weight and age are right. My math says .25 cents a lb for a very nice H-B (I have 2) If ya see flashing blue lights it ain't Kmart. I will be the law cause ya stole it. Ken

Verticle puts way more mass under the hammer. You only need an area the size of your hammer. Horizontal can be shaped like a real anvil(lots of time and effort) My bench one is 37lb and is only good for up to 1/4 in rod. You can stand it up in a bucket of concrete, Drill holes and bolt it to a bench leg, Bury it. Your choice. Ken

There is no sacrifice. Angled twards the brick creates a swirl effect for more even heating. Ken

Looks like something in the hardy hole. Take it out. Also try putting a dowel crossways under the front and back feet. Ken

How is your neighborhood? Just picked up a 174lb on a bigger stump. 2 guys carried it 30 feet then popped it in my truck. Ken

Give me a call. Will get ya going again.Know a lot of the locals from newbies to ones that teach at John Cambell. Ken

Problem is most of the therapy is holding your stuff. Guess what? Now you need/want more/bigger/better. Have past on several anvils and there are still morethan I had(looking at a few more) I quit smoking cold turkey 20yrs ago. I can quit this any time. Air hammer for sale you say HMMM. Ken

Agita, Must have been awhile Kaynes stopped having meetings almost a year ago. Don't know about Canton. There are a bunch of us here. Guild meetings are 3rd Sat 9-4 short demo then open forging rest of the time. Check your PM will send contact info. Ken

Just a thought. Most common Mig wire is copper coated. Ken

I hear ya. Spent more time on the holes than anything else. They make great jewelers/ Hobby anvils. 50 plus hours then find a real anvil oh well they can bury me with it. Ken

Here is a good one for ya. Weather forcasts for combat troops around the world come from the federal building 15 miles from me. My local reports sux. Ken

Yeh Grant gives a whole new meaning to it sux. "I did not inhale"

Chad, Hows that work on thick heels? Where did this info come from? We were asked to provide a source for our info. Ken

DIDTAS, Glad to see someone else build a lighter hammer. Haven't got there yet but am planning a light hammer. Ken

Agita, Where are you and what guild? FCBG in Tryon is where I go. Ken

If your name is good stick to the mead. A gallon a day will turn you into a great smith (at least in your own mind) Greetings from an OLD Conn smith. Left yrs ago. I do know There are many smiths up there. Atleast a few on here. Connect and visit with them. Ken

Might try adding some wings. Dragons fly. Ken

My guess is 100lb or less. Should clean up nicely. Ken A location might find you a buyer.

Grant nailed(or rivited) it. Enjoy. Ken

Did you find it at the tractor show at WNC ag center. Saw one there last week. Ken

Wheres the pritchel and hardy hole? Made one about same size. Ken

Not enough o2 in lungs or compressor. I have only seen jewelers blow pipes. Blow across the flameto make a very tiny flame. Ken

origami, Thats hard to judge I usually sit on a stool. Ken
