  1. Ya ill be sure to post some pics when i get it, and apparently, my neighbor does an unhealthy amount of fencing, but doesnt know any thing about other weapons, i also do sword play as a hobby and managed to break a wood axe by truing to chop a bundle at a time, hes like fourty something, and wants me to teach him, i think if i play the right cards, i think i can getem to hlp mepay fir my new anvil. And iron dwarf, i love the"M G" thing:)
  2. thanks again everyone, i emaild him and i think i can get the money. i now realize that knowing people is better than i thought
  3. ya, i actually just met a guy who owns an antique shop and he used to blacksmith, and cold form with the machines at his place of employment, he gave me his email, and he knows a guy looking to sell an anvil with all the tongs, and hardy tools, for like &150-$200 and he's interested in my work
  4. Ya i know what you mean, after all my fire pot is built from a broken lamp base.
  5. Every one has been a great help, i've located a local scrap yard and plsn to go there after a movie with my girl friend and a few other friends. If i cant find anything i think ill try to mount my 15- lbs anvil on the railroad tie, making it alot less bouncy so i font use up most of the energy that i generate by making it bounce. Once again i'd like to thank ThomasPowers for the way that he controlled the situation in whitch i exploded better than i did, and instead of stoping communications with me all together, and continued to help. Ill post how it goes when im done, im going to the scrap yard on the 2nd of july if i can. Thank you all. Good night, good luck, and godspeed.
  6. Thaks all for the ideas, ill be sure to check them all out. Its amaIng what talking to your supiriors can do.
  7. Its a shame that i cant aford a 6-pack of mountain dew let alone an ipod
  8. ok your right, im sorry for the way i acted and i will do my best not to do it again. i felt, offended bty the "WHAT" part of it, and i saw it as you telling me bluntly that i was wrong. will you accept my apology?
  9. cill out, i appreciate the response, but you dont have to critisize what im trying to do like im experimenting on chidren. with all due respect ill decide what an anvil looks like in my shop. and by the way, medieval garage is a user name, and ya i do make armor too but if you have a bitter oppinion, be like a normal restrained civiliced person and keep it to your self. or atleast dont put your self on a pedastol as if im scrub. understand? Knock it off, or you are gone. There is no reason to act like that. Last warning.
  10. Thanks, hadnt thaught of using it vertically that helps alot. Ill let you inow how it goes
  11. You sir, are a magic man, thats beatiful
  12. Basically, my anvil was attached to a vice grip, in fact it was mostly a vice grip, but then the vice broke, so i unbolted it from my work bench, and it worked grate, then after about 3 years of working like a charm, it just cracked from over use
  13. My anvil split in half a while ago, and i have this xxxxxx -15 pould jewelers anvil, but it's a piece of xxxx, its really small, has no ledge, and it bounces around when i work. im looking for an anvil that i can get cheap or for free, because the anvil that i have wont isnt compatable with what i do, and im 13 years old and broke. I have a few options, i could try and get an anvil from the people who read this, or i could try and make one out of a piece of stock that i have, its part of an old rail road, and its rediculously rusted, about 2 feet long, and if you look at it from the side, its in the shape of an L , each its about 1.5 inches thick, and the split parts of the L are both about 5 inches long. If i cut it right, could i manage to fold, and flatten it with my forge and a sottering torch? I'd really appreciate it if someone cold help me out, cause all my projects are being slowed down by my xxxx anvil. I apologize for any typos i made, remember, im 13, on summer breake, and typed this on an ipod,. Even if you cant help, thank you for reading this, i know its kind of run-on. Good day, good luck, and god speed.
