  7. this is a test of a woodtick stamp or I mean a combination of stamps to make a woodtick on some handrailing panels that have branches and oak leaves and acorns. I'll stamp a few in the railings to see if they can be found by people looking at the railing.(just to see if they are really looking at the detail) LOL. -JK
  8. Roger - why not forge it to a hex shape on the outside so there is less machining to be done? - JK

  10. Fabien,Ed,Frogvalley, This really isn't a mystery hole - it is an area that long stock that is being forged can be passed though. You'll notice the dies are perpendicular to the frame, this design was changed as years went by - as in the little giants - so the dies were turned at an angle so that wagon wheels could be welded with the power hammer, and the frame would not get in the way. I have a 50lb Little Giant that was made in 1900, and it has this same hole in the frame (which is level with the bottom die), and my 1912 model 50 has the dies on an angle. This information was read in the book "Pounding out the profits" If I recall correctly. I'm sure others will agree or have a better description of what it was used for. -JK
  11. I used to know a guy that did work with leaded copper on roofing jobs but that was before I had had some inquiries about "me" working with it and I have no idea where he is now. So mostly I was wondering about the difference of leaded copper as "he" said it was, compared to regular roof flashing. I have welded copper with the Tig welder and have had a very successfull time of it. Although the flashing might be a bit to thin for Tig welding as the warping may be beyond what's acceptable. So I'm assuming soldering of it would be the best. Thanks - JK
