Thanks I had never heard of it and think i'll search it out and give it a try

I googled PPG breakthrough but couldnt tell if it was available in spray cans or in clear

Bigfoot please define Breakthrough Mike

Nice Job Peter Is an exceptional Smith and it looks like you executed the design very well

I put a lot of thought into posting that smiley face and DO NOT appreciate it being removed MIKE TANNER

Well done ( all of them )

I prefer nut size coal ( up to the size of a green walnut ) as that is what I started out with. A lot of smiths prefer stoker or pea size coal. If you start off with nut size and manage your fire properly you will be using stoker or pea size as you add coal around the edges and it breaks down during the working of the fire.

Francis Yes it is slightly tapered with an approx 5/16 dia ball on the end

It is a very pleasant reprise from the everyday dulldrums to hear from a true Free spirit. Keep in touch

- Don't know about an office but you could make some steak flippers - Fast and simple

Really sorry to hear that

Nice job Jeremy

As USUAL Ted Well thought out and well said

Cool Idea pretty slick

Mine is 10 gage ( approx 1/8 ) 304 stainless steel with anvil shaped cut outs around its perimeter ( approx 4 ft in dia. ) and about 8 inches deep.

I resolve to be more resolute

The Secret of Blacksmithing is theres NO secret to Blacksmithing.

There may be hope after all BRAVO Alec Its refreshing to get a glimpse of the way it used to be from a young person of today.

That anvil is in pretty good shape from what I can see in the photo,it should serve you well All around nice score

:)

Nice looking Trivet How are the ( feet ) attached ?

As usual - NICE WORK

Should come in handy for all the Cyber Smiths hereabout

I can make tongs I also can make hambugers But I usually go to McDonalds and buy one. OCP Tom tongs Billy tongs All are made far better than anything ive ever done. I have several tongs made by some of the best smiths out there,and as good as they are ,they are not as good as the Tom tongs etc.
