Welcome from Nebraska, breeze.

That'll Work!! -Scott

Welcome, Levi, from another welder (GMAW, FCAW, especially), From Omaha, Ne. Side note to T-Gold: Hows that anvil coming? -Scott

Raasmus, welcome to the forum. Can't learn a thing till ya make a share of mistakes. I'm learning LOTS . This fermented (drink, I assume) you speak of sounds intriguing. Is that what is also called mead? Again, welcome form Omaha, Ne. -Scott

So Nice, Woody!! Scott

Be-yew-T-full dagger, Tar. Just out of curiosity, What do the runes translate to? I'm kinda rusty. Nordic? Or Elvish;) -S

Quewl!!! I, for one, am a big advocate of "found" materials. Most of the stuff I make is from found material!! Keep up the good work! _Scott

Sorethumb, welcome to the forum. This is a great and vast place 'o' knowlege. Some of it pertains to blacksmithing even BTW, Clever signature!! I'm trying to decide which of the "10" I am; 1 or 0 LOL. -Scott

Welcome, Bendik. Omaha,Ne, USA.

Welcome Rick. Great smithy you have there. Thanks for sharing the pics!

Welcome, ag. Colo, specifically Arvada, is a place among others, that I have called home.

Welcome, Rush.

Welcome from a former Eastern North Carolina Resident :)

Welcome, Levi. Sounds like you're off to a good start

Thanks, Bruce. Might take a look sometime if I'm in the area. Was hoping for heavier stuff. I guess we just aren't blessed with those type of yards in this neck'o'the woods. LOL

I finally got around to reading this. Good Suff!! I plan to make such an entry in my cell phone and encourage my loved ones to do the same. Thanks, Bobby, albeit late, but this will bring it back to the present for a while at least Thankfully I have not needed it yet. -Scott

I does appear to be a casting, given the parting lines. If its good steel and it works, use it, is my philosophy. Works for my anvil cut from mild steel plate :)

Welcome to the forum Jymm

I second those thoughts Rich. Like I said before, I also had a good teacher . I may have got lucky on the first attempt but it wasn't a breeze, to say the least. Lots of factors to take into consideration. Like Rich says, Its not a "beginner" project

Has anybody heard of L&K Scrap Metals? I just saw it the other day while going East on I-80 headed toward the Bluffs. Dunno if they just buy or if they sell too. Gonna make some calls but thought I would throw this up here anyway! -Scott

The term, "perfect scroll", may come from the concept of the spiral of squares. I'd have to dig out my Trigonometry text to explain it fully but loosely translated, (and I may be using the wrong term) the spiral or square starts out at a value of 2 and for each revolution the spiral enlarges in size as well as diameter (I think!) by the square of the previous revolution. You can take it further and get into fractals but then it gets just plain gawdy if you ask me LOL
