  1. I've had this old hatchet, what I believe is used for hewing, for about 10 years. I recently re sharpened it and noticed the remnants of a maker's mark, but it's just to worn to make out. It appears on the back of the hatchet there is a nickel or brass filling, but I'm not real sure. Can anyone tell me what brand this is, or anything about it at all.
  2. Yep. It's for applying clamps. Probably wouldn't last long beating on an anvil.
  3. I'm not sure why, because it's certainly not a machinist hammer! You know anything about it?
  4. I bought this small machinist hammer at a flea market and wondering if anyone know anything about the name on it. Believe it says 'fast lok Winona, Minn'.
  5. Thanks for the advice. I think I'm going to do that. I've told everyone that if I wanted to make something that wouldn't fit in this forge that I would have to take the blower off of this one and build a new open forge, but now I see that's not necessary. Just modify the one I have.
  6. Is a davy light round with a reflector and a flint wheel like a cigarette lighter?
  7. Are you talking about cutting the back like the front is cut?
  8. Thanks George for the history on that. I have a better picture of how it works now.
  9. And thanks to the people who IDed this for me. Although I am still uncertain about the hanging on to a helmet part. I will continue to research.
  10. Hey Chatch. You're not kidding. I'm new to this and never knew that you could actually split metal until I seen it in John Neeman's Birth of a tool. I was absolutely amazed. And still am by the whole process, really.
