Alrighty thanks

Nahh its just hooked up to a 20lb tank it came with my forge. Its about 4 years old.

I recently noticed my regulator leaking from the back screw i took it off and replaced the o-ring and stopped the leaked but now when i turn on the gas the needle on the pressure gauge spins all the way around.... Just wondering what could be causing this?

Did u ever get in contact with them?

Nice knifes neg....i love how the rasp always looks like fish scales.

Nice work and the leather work is killer too.

Am I the only one having a chuckle about him holding the hammer head in his hand and the unconscious looking dog in the background?  :P

Nice score man...glad your happy with it.

Lol that does look like a hardy .....nice anvil forsure.

How do you get that many anvils...just collecting over the years?? I recently went to a blacksmith auction and paid 375 for a 200lb fisher that was in great shape just needed clean up. I finally got it cleaned the other day. Once i bought that i was hooked.. I would love to have a huge collection of anvils and power hammers one day. My main goal is to own a few anvils that date back a few hundred years.

Nice looking hatchet

As soon as you come up I'll give you some fresh ideas on your shop...  Been following your thread for a while...

Nice looking blade that handle set it off...greatly done.

Nice i started tearing mine down a couple of months ago planning a complete rebuild, i hit a wall awhile back and recently started sanding and paint the parts.

Ok will do once i get it built and i will post back here to let u know...thanks for the info.

Well after a little. CUtting i finally got the lower die out and it was an ordeal. I have soaked the die block for like 2 weeks now with pb blaster and it still will not budge. I have beat and beat on that thing it just start mushrooming. I heated it up and nothing, anyone got and ideas?

Nice work.. How much would that set someone back?

Pretty cool looking

Ill probably be there. Need to save up though

Better off buying a small log splitter

Thanks for the info i was just hoping for way to slow it down since i had a lead for a cheap motor.

I know the reccomended motor is some1700 rpm what i want to know is if i could use a motor that has 3450 rpm and use a bigger pulley on the shaft to slow down the rpm?

Would it be possible to make the bases out of old worn out dies?

When talking about the clutch key are you refering to the key/ pin that holds the spider on the crank shaft? The reason i ask this is because when looking at the clutch the other day it slid off the spider... I didnt know if it was suppose to do that Some of the bearings still seem to goodon the hammer...both toggle links have been braized and they did have bearing i found after wire brushing it. Sorry for the noob questions this is a learning experience for me.

Could you post the link to sids babbit pouring as i cant find it.
