    most of the time it is easier to straighten a piece on an anvil with a slight sway than it is on a perfectly flat one

    may be a Jet brand I have only seen one and it wasnt all that bad of an anvil to start with
  5. yesteryearforge
    I believe what you have is a saw manufactured by JET Its a pretty decent saw a probally retailed for eight or nine hundred dollars try searching under Jet and you should find something on a lot of different models

    apprenticeman they are workhorses the smaller hatchet is all on piece of A2 with inlaid phenolic inserts for the handles / the skinner blade is 3/16 thick , both were made to use and use hard. i had had enough of lookers and needed a user ( couldnt find anything to suit me ) so I made my own

    Just came across these two hatchets and a skinning knife that I made around 1979 - 80 during the fur boom. They were made to use so they werent taken to the finish that they would have been if i were going to sell them The hatchets are A2 tool steel the skinner is O1

    Glenn I was wondering more about contaminants and debris accumulating over time than the effect on the coal ( leaves,acorns,sticks,gravel etc ) this would not be a big problem with a small pile of coal but may be with a rather large pile that would take you a good while to consume.

    How many keep their coal outside do you keep it covered at all I currently have about 4 tons and it is inside but have just been offered a fifty foot silo full of coal if i want it of coarse ill have to try it before i haul it home It could be good coal or it could be lousy coal but its worth taking a look at it
