  1. A new scaling hammer like that, but with a fiberglass handle, would cost around $60. http://www.columbussupply.com/products/?productid=1120
  2. It's used to tighten/loosen the clamp at the top of the handle allowing you to position it anywhere around the rim of the flywheel.
  3. Are you still in the process of building a tirehammer?
  4. This mentions "hot work" Larry, hope it helps. http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/hexavalentchromium/index.html
  5. Won't that make the cake extra-crunchy? :blink:
  6. Go here on google. http://books.google.com/books?id=kbLmAAAAMAAJ&dq=american%20blacksmith&pg=PR1#v=onepage&q&f=false To download the pdf, on the upper right click on PDF. It's about 77 mb.
  7. Sorry Grant. I was refering to the ebay seller. Here it is. http://cgi.ebay.com/LOT-41-AMERICAN-BLACKSMITH-MAGAZINE-ANVIL-VISE-FORGE-/150525488516?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item230c04ad84
  8. They are also selling it as a buy it now for $16.57. You can look at several issues free here. http://books.google.com/books?id=kbLmAAAAMAAJ&dq=american%20blacksmith&pg=PR1#v=onepage&q&f=false
  9. Most light dimmers are not built to handle motor speed control. You can try something like this. http://www.harborfreight.com/router-speed-control-43060.html
  10. Check Here. http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/blacksmith-post-drill-w-label-pd20-nice-one
  11. 1. Correct. 2. Hot rolled/Cold rolled. Plain round stock. 3. Gauge. 16 gauge for the spring guard would be about 1.5 mm, I'd use 2 mm.
  12. I came across this on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/BUFFALO-FORGE-35-BLOWER_W0QQitemZ290503109539QQcategoryZ26224QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp5197.m7QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D5%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5125611967266798238
  13. As everyone told Ralphie, you'll shoot your eye out. But seriously, I don't think it's a good idea.
  14. You may find this interesting. http://www.math.psu.edu/dlittle/java/parametricequations/spirograph/SpiroGraph1.0/index.html Or this. http://michelle.esfm.ipn.mx/~mrspock/spiro/

  16. You could rough out the long radius while still chucked in the lathe, checking it with a template as you go, then finish it with flap disks.
  17. Here is some detailed data on chromium toxicity. http://www.epa.gov/ncea/iris/toxreviews/0028tr.pdf http://www.epa.gov/ncea/iris/toxreviews/0144tr.pdf
  18. If you have access to a lathe, turn a circular groove in the end of a rod so that when struck it will make a dot impression surrounded by a unpressed ring(from the groove) then surrounded by a ring impression.
  19. Good work and that's some good advice from Mike.
  20. Mark has a couple of books out and is working on a third- http://markaspery.net/www.markaspery.net/Home.html Not inexpensive but well worth the money. Book 1 would be a great help if you are getting started.
