Moonpipe

Sure! I'll find out all the gory details!

Thanks for the date Frozenforge!  And Frosty; the guy at the machine shop is a blacksmith and has repaired anvils before. I only know it will be light years better than the track anvil I have now!

Oh and about the pipe, I haven't got the pewter sanded of yet so you can't see the moon. But that is what I carved into it, hope it comes out o.k. I'll post pics of it when I get it done.

They're gonna build up the missing bit and mill it off even with the existing face.

Yeah, I know the face is bout gone.  Gettin' it repaired even as we speak... "Moonpipe"... I picked that name 'cause I'm working a catlinite pipe bowl and I inlaid it with a Moon!  OH! now that I look at it again, it IS an "A"! Duh,

Hi all,

Just bought a Trenton anvil with these numbers stamped on front feet:   T 190,  N(?) 5829. Could anyone tell me the year of manufacture?

Pauldude,  this is absolutely WIZARD!!!  You are a genius! I can't wait to try the blower; I think I've got a tin somewhere... :D

Hello everyone!

My name is Kim and I'm raw beginner!! Just thought I'd post a few pics of my charcoal forge that I just fired up for the first time today. Wow, it works great. I scoured this forum and others for info and have cobbled together what I think will be a very serviceable forge. Am building a super sucker as well so will have good ventilation, now all I need are some tongs! Vice grips suck! Joined the CSMA group in Haysville. They are a bunch of really nice guys and are very helpful!! Anyway, glad to be here and hope I can ask you guys lots of questions! :D
