BORZ

hello! Could please anybody help me? There is an old railing (guess made in the '20-es). i just wonder how the angle could have been made? Do not see any sign of welding (though it get a "few" times painted in 80 years), but anyway it looks like it is made of 1 piece)

unfortunately i dont know the exact tipe.i have about 100 kg of the stuff,smaller and bigger pieces Has been used for a vise,(i didnt find the expression in the dictionary).-the pieces grab the material from 2 sides.Guess they were of a large machinist wise.Of a smaller piece i made a drift,quenched at non-manetic in oil,it got hard,and didnt break.But i dont have experience,just'playing'

hello! I made a hammer,it is almost ready,i'd just need an advice about heat treating.As i read,ijust need local heating at the pein.my questions were: 1 i have an o/a cutting torch,but no rosebud.Is it useable for the cause? 2 about tempering-colurs like usual? (i have a quite soft anvil) 3 the middle stay as it is? (no heat treating at all?) thanks in advance for helping,i just didnt want experimenting with that piece of metal(easier to ask first). Thanks!

normally it shouldn't be a problem.i've been using my welder more than less with extension cables,and had no problem about safety.they should not be winded up,and must have correct grounding.I use a thick cable,not to loose power.(i dont have experience over 180 amp., but under it i never had problem).on my mig i put industrial plugger,so i made an extension cable for that setup,it works for 10 years now.(about 15 m-maybe 45 feet - long.

It might be,your torch is too small for the thickness off the material.I dont know the tipe,the nozzle might be changeable( 1, 2, 3),with increasing acet. pressure.First maybe try warm up the material,driving along the flame the way to cut,and give a little more oxigen by cutting.

sorry,the only problem,that i dont understand even the half of the explanation,and doing around computer not long ago as well.It's a learning process,do my best anyway.Guess it'll be ok soon.Looking up in the dictionary taking a pretty lot of time.But hope dies at least,i keep on triing:rolleyes:

I have my forge in the yard,just in front of the "shop",due to less of space inside.The anvil is inside,although not the best place,but im not like Conan,to move it(about 100 kg).I hope i could send a picture,i try at least.If you want move the anvil,maybe a small trolley(like for transporting gas tanks) might be usable.

Thanks,i guess i have now all the knowledge,just have to put in praktice somehow.About the material- am i wrong with the old drills(hss)?I have some,18-25 mm(about0.5-1""),but i've red about the heat treating,wich doesnt seem easy.(though i made one,even if not the proper way,but it still vorks).Is it reason experimenting around,or rather leave it.An old file i have as well,for triing

Ok,i tried give my lokation.Few things i dont understand,but im on improoving my english knowledge.Sorry
