    As mentioned in above post There are many kinds of brass and bronze brushes. If you go to a bowling alley you can get a bronze brush that you brush the bottom of your bowling shoes with . It adds yet another color variation to the list .

    What I usually do is brass brush it untill you are satisfied with the finish and when you get it just where you like it ( Quench it ) and it will remain at that state of finish. Some time I will let it set there a few minutes and watch the color transformation and quench it to stop the color where i think it looks the best. I usually shoot it with clear laquer instead of the beeswax mixture

    I punch Hammers with the handled punch that I got from Brian on my Iron Kiss in just two heats and its only the 50 # Iron Kiss These start out as round stock but dont finish up as a rounding hammer

    My personal opinnion Is you would be hard pressed to find a finer anvil no matter which one you choose. I have a # 9 and a # 58 but both have the side shelf.

    Im a Low tech man in a Hi-tec world Ive noticed that in the majority of students that come thru the school are I T people Its like they woke up one day and realized that there is something on the end of their arms and they can use those things to MAKE THINGS. I attribute the surge almost soley to the internet and videos.

    ETSY is pretty much useless I think you have a pay to bring your items to the forefront or it remains burried so deep no one will ever find it. Ive been on there a couple years and even I cant find my items unless I go to my storefront

    Thats pretty good if under 10 minutes for a pair of tongs. If it was 9 minutes thats about 4 1/2 minutes per side Thats FAST

    I fired two of Wallaces guns in 1969 Also had the Colonial Williamsburg gunsmith demo for us here and he hand forged a section of rifle barrel. and part of a lock and buttplate. Amazing stuff and gives you a whole lot of respect for what can be accomplished by hand
