Hi.I use an air-powered die grinder called ''The Mighty Atom'.It has plenty of power.I find its a brilliant tool to use and it makes a very satifying noise as well!Id go for the cheaper option myself,i always think electric ones overheat quickly but this is just my opinion...

Hi all.I bought myself a nice Anvil today:D.Im puzzled by the makers name on it..it has the letters 'K L' in raised form and the number 40 which must be the weight in kgs.Has anyone heard of this make/Any info would be great...Ill post a picture of it in the anvils gallery soon.

HAZ issues?Please explain..:confused:I studied the axe a bit closer today to see if it had a carbon edge welded onto a wrought body and discovered it hasnt,its made from one piece...Think i might just look at it until it gets sucked into all the other junk in my forge.But i have read and took on your advice an ill have a go at repairing another broken axe i have before attempting on the broad axe(if ever..)

#5 I know what you mean.Ive seen a tabletop levelled with an adze where the guy using the tool was letting it swing under his toes!It also looked like it had been planed.Thanks for the advice anyway!.I guess its just going to be a display piece...

I have recently bought an old broad axe which is cracked the whole length along the poll(i think caused by forcing too large a helve in..)I was wondering if there is an effective method of repairing this damage?ie welding it shut?..I have access to a MIG welder.My concern was if it was repaired by this method it would weaken the metal around the weld?Thanks for reading!
