  1. i might mix sand with good ole georgia red clay and mix a little water in it so it hardens good
  2. thanks if i would weld some pieces at the lowest i would put the anvil would that combat that tendency
  3. sry bout the different sizes was playing with the resolution on my cell camera
  4. people in the chat room last night were wondering what kind of welder i was using so i decided to take pics of our shop and let yall see our buisnes the welder i was using is the miller this is the welder the last one here is where i been working the last 3 months its the plasma table
  5. as an american i dont know if i can read that book i got the idea from "the backyard blacksmith" by lorilei sims
  6. ok it was a good idea and i will have quite a bit of tweeking to do my welds are terrible right now i think its cause i never welded in a box before so this is a prototype to learn by hope the next one will turn out better
  7. i am starting on an anvil stand i have it drawn out in autocad right now waiting to be set up on the plasma table will post pics as it come together it will be a sand filled stand with a floating plate on top of the sand with a small amount of room about an eighth in. and 1 in of extra room between the needed height for the plate and the top none of this will be forged that i know of yet anyway
  8. well i dont want it to rust away more than it has its already hard to read
  9. what about surface rust on the sides i want to paint the sides so the lettering is more visible and i am not worried about the face cause i know that will just work off
  10. a project i did for a girl cousin who broke her arm a few days ago the paint hides the blemishes very well
  11. "better to be silent and be thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt"
