Double entendre much?

Gotta love autocorrect and autocomplete!

for a "dividend" I'd guess

Wish you luck. Hope it goes well.

Will they be able to fit in a hoopak sling?

Well then... shouldn't you call it a "Mini(on) Press" instead. C'mon man, truth in advertising.

Hmmm. I don't have a lathe, but I do have an old pipe threading machine, turns 33rpm. I bet it would work a treat.

ummm... Yeah. There are a few on here that unless he is a speed reader, would take more than a couple months to read all their posts. Not to point fingers, but someone who's name is part of TPAAAT comes to mind immediately. You're not too far behind him. Shoot, even the site owner has fewer posts than either of ya'll.

I have to include my "oohs and aahs". I love the whole package. Especially the subtleties like the parallel of the bolster to the ricasso. And the shape of the bolster, its fit with the handle and the contrasts of the smooths and roughs.

Salted peanut?

Sounds like the dimensions of my soup-can forge.

I basically did the same with a 3/4" t-burner to straighten the leg of my 4" post vise a little while back. It had a 90 degree bend in it when I bought it.

I was just joking about a shorter hammer. My actual thoughts on it were that he would find that out when he got there. That it wouldn't change whether he went or not.

why? Will he need a shorter hammer?

Rubber items and marks... This is a blacksmithing site and not a 50 shades discussion forum isn't it?

pics... or it never happened.

Or just give up, stick a canary feather between your teeth and put that score to use. (Taking pics along the way of course)

It sounds from your op (original post) that you were thinking to have a metal 'liner' on the inside. The straight simple answer is this... No. Your proposed design would not be adequate. That is why the others were recommending you use some of your time to read information available in this forum that they have already spent much of their time posting. You can learn what will work, a lot of what won't and the why's of both. That is, if you will put the time into reading the info that is already here.

and is why I put 'thinks'.

lol! I don't think he quite understood what you were telling him at first. Or he doesn't think there's anyone close enough to him to trade with maybe...

I don't see the 'bummer'. You can save some for yourself for tooling. And should have no problem trading the rest to other smiths in exchange for good quality knife steels.

I don't think he can get it to non magnetic... he posts that it breaks if he hears it to orange.

Dragon fangs as per the post in member projects (iirc)... Separate them and spread the hole large enough to add a tab and make bottle openers...

It's never too late for a good breakfast! It is after all, the most important meal of the day.

They're all afraid us Yankees will actually show up and make a mess of things.
