    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.

    Awesome. I picked this one up for 3 bucks.
  3. Probablyforged
    I will look now.
  4. Probablyforged
    I like that it has a name on it. Very cool.
  5. Probablyforged
    Yep. It's for applying clamps. Probably wouldn't last long beating on an anvil.
  6. Probablyforged
    I'm not sure why, because it's certainly not a machinist hammer! You know anything about it?
  7. Probablyforged
    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'.

    Thanks guys.

    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.

    This is a well done reference.

    Is a davy light round with a reflector and a flint wheel like a cigarette lighter?
  12. Probablyforged
    Are you talking about cutting the back like the front is cut?
  13. Probablyforged
    Thanks George for the history on that. I have a better picture of how it works now.
  14. Probablyforged
    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.

    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.
  16. Probablyforged
    Yes sir. Which is what I want to start out doing. I figure I could cut the top half off of it and replace the cut out and have an open forge so I could at least lay something across it if needed.
  17. Probablyforged
    Made from a freon tank I do believe.
  18. Probablyforged
    What is the hook for? For hanging it something?
  19. Probablyforged
    I picked this up at an estate sale a while back and originally thought it was a meat sorting tool, but not really sure. Perhaps someone on here could id this. Thanks!

    When an anvil is chipped, or chunked, in this case, is that always evidence of abuse? Or just used for a long time?
  21. Probablyforged
    Haven't thought of that. I'll check to see how far one is away from me and consider it. Thanks.
  22. Probablyforged
    That's good news for me. As I don't know much about blacksmithing or the tools of the trade. I am learning as I go here in E Texas.
  23. Probablyforged
    Haha. You recognized that right off. I believe it weighs 103 lbs. Is that still considered a travel anvil? I paid $150.00 for it. Did I get a good deal?
