    Thomas - you are correct - just as a picture of my shop with my go to anvil that is a Peter Wright - doesn't mean my shop is In England.

    Most anvils have a built in radius to use between the feet.

    Al - if I recall the mesh I used is #6? Most fire places have a lot smaller mesh size( more wires per inch ) this one is exceptionally bigger, hence the beefier mesh I used. Can't recall the supplier off hand, somewhere on the east coast I know. I don't buy mesh very often, so ever time I need to search for a supplier.

    Hammer textured frame and door frames, hand riveted with pyramid shaped rivets with rounding hammer. outer frame is Approx. 53" square, scribed to fit the stone on all 4 sides.

    Yes if you have the equipment to make one - Although machining and heat treating - it isn't bad, and it fits the first time.

    Why not get ahold of the factory for replacement parts : https://www.diacro.com/product/model-1a-bender/

    That's what I meant by a flaw in the flange - they had to cut it off clean to square it up.
  9. jeremy k
    More than likely it was cut off to trim or square up the end of the rail if they were going to weld the rails together, it appears that it had a big flaw on the bottom flange.

    So do the people who suggest improvements ("IE" engineers, architects, etc.) get paid for their input?

    Blown sheet metal forms are fun to do, but the key is to have good welds around the edges. The sheet I've used has been 16Ga. - play and have fun!!!

    Yes John You are right - Elizabeth Brim did those - I knew it was a woman but couldn't put the right name with it right away. Elizabeth and Dorothy are great contributors in the blacksmithing arena.

    Frosty - Did you say Pillow?.... Frosty - are you thinking of Dorothy Stieliger? (spelling?) I made this pillow as a blow up form back in 2013, never did get around to putting the fringe on it yet. Yes, a golf club head could be done with the inflation method easily.

    Sorry - no photo shop - yes heated and hot punched in one taping to the foot - got a cramp in my leg by the time they took the picture, - definitely not a recommended procedure - just a doable possibility if needed - I did hot punch the hole 3/4's thru the first side though, during that picture. Oh and I noticed I do have an IFI shirt on.

    Bobsled - One may be able to forge one of the Titanium heads into something useful, but I would get myself some steel more suited for forging if your just starting out. Here are the steps I used to forge the golf club bottle opener heads, which could be used for large heads for a regular club with large stock size : (click on the picture below)

    Of course - here's some I've made... starting stock 1/2" X 1/2" square stock, roughly 7" long total.

    As long as I can remember - the clutch pulley/spider have never been available, just the minor components like the toggle arms, spring, bushings, etc. Also, I do believe at this time Sid is Still very much alive - he just sold his business.
  20. jeremy k
    Unfortunately not all parts are available for purchase from little giant. Good luck finding a clutch pulley/ spider. Someone mave have a bad frame but good parts, keep searching.

    Glenn, how can you say that? If one keeps a list of how many times you use every tool, one would be surprised how many times they are used but one never thinks about it, or takes it for granted. Every time the tool is used the cost goes down per use. Many times down to pennies per use.

    Fireplace door handles on a current project. Back to seeing others fireplace pokers

    Full set of tools I made for a client a few years ago.

    Start forging and just use it.
