Sabre

yes it is!!, i think its cool, wonder how much power it uses......

my vulcan says 10 but on a scale its 108.... not shure why, anyone know?

wow dave thats coming along really well, i like the ide for the ash dump!!!!

SATURDAY!!!!!! oh man i cant wait that long!!!

WOW dave, trailers coming along really well!!!, did not think you would go through with the plan for a long time,looks cool,cant wait for more pics!

yes thats the tool i got the idea from!!! jeff did an amazing job on it, just wondering, how is the shank on the bottom held on?

darn, that is a good idea, it actually started sagging down a tiny bit toroed the firepot, (unlss my eyes are lying to me), but thats ok, its only a quick forge till i get my other one.... maby i do some more work when i get the other one and use this one as a demo forge......

sadly yes, till i can get a 8 hour drive up to the coal place

When i got my oxy-acet torch i decidedto fab up a forge, just till mine gets here from canada, we oxy welded it all together(no welder yet, still in canada to), some weds broke from the heat so we went out and rented a little mig for the day, worked great..... Firpot is a brake routor, table is 1/8" Plate, legs are bed frame angle iron, tuyre (however its spelt) or ash dump thing is some 2" exgaust pipe with a plange weded to the top and ash dump is a piece of plate, hole drilled into it and bolt sld through and welded to the tube,(hope that made sence) fierd it last night and it worked well

Heres a hold down tool i made this weekand, it is the copy of jeffs tool, i really like the idea, cant wait to go out and use it, i ground the weld a little so it looks really bad, also i will post a picure of a tool holder i made for behind the anvil...., it is made form almost the same stuff as jeffs, a piece of 1" by 1/4" flat bar, cut groove in it, then welded a piece of 3/8" on the top. The shank on the bottom is made of a 1" bolt with the head cut off, i welded that to the bottom, and used a piece of chain as a hook, so far it has worked really well and not had any problems, still havent done any major work on it. the tool holder on the back is some angle iron with some 1/8" bars welded across the bottom... Gives me somewhere to put my punches

Ya i think orgtwister is right, theres groves on the bottom where the ring pulls up, but i dont understand how there would be better than normal tongs?? where they ment for a specific type of stock....

went to a metal shop and the guy gace me a hole bunch of free steel...then the muffler shopguy cut and welded me some piping!

im will, we tested it out, it seems like the extra pieces like cutting welding and rosebud are from another set, so a we changed around somepieces, just need a new tip and we should have a full cut set!! Now to do some research....

Cool thanks frosty, found a few welding places near by, the one piece cant be fixed, s were going to look for a new one

ok fixed the one valve leak but one of the cutting tip is busted, the lottle spring piece that goes in the handel,pushed out the handel is messd up, maby we can find the piece at the store, because i dont wanna spen 140 on a new torch!!

LOL dont worry, i will prolly get it done right , but ill let him have his fun then see, maby i can get a new torch body because the acet valve on the bottom or the torch leaks unless its full open or closed

Well yesterday i went to the flea market with my dad looking for a bench grinder or buffer to convet into a cutoff and ended up finding a 4.5" angle grinder for 23 bucks, then we ran across a oxy-acet set, complete with tanks,flashbacks, 2 cutting tips. 2 welding tips and a rosebud tip, also goggles an ect, the thing came with 2 half full tanks and a cart and he wanted 175 for it,we got it for $140, only prob is that 2 diff valves are broken, im either going to buy a new torch assembly or see if my dad can fix it..... Also got 2 new punches!!

thats really nice, you should paint it black or whatever your shop colors are!!!

thanks guys, ill see about grinding down the old wedge first because steels limeted here, and i dont have any leaf spring.....

Ok guys, here are some newer pics that i just took, first two are of the threads, and the rest are of the mounting bracket and the whole vise..... (The spots are water spots if your wondering) :)

guys, ill take better pics tonight, that way you dont spend any more time trying to make it out....i was night when i took them, sorry about that

Wow, thats a real nice hold down, i use a spring connected to the stump that pulls a chain draped over the topof the anvil, i like this idea much better

Last week on monday i got a new post vise, its a 5 incher and was it great condition, made a workbench for it, used it for twists and i like it, only prob is it moves a lil where the mounting bracket hooks up the the c bracket, i will try and wedge it soon, pics below

well i went to fastneal and i orderd 50 1/4" by 1/2" solid plain buttonhead rivets,they gve me a huge catalog to look through, seems like ill be buying alot from there!

Very cool!!!!,im goign to go make a riveting tool now!
