In not new to this . But you have to understand that I ground the face because of all of the massive pitting from miss use with a chisel at some point. Now I admit that now where it's at I realize that I more than likely shouldn't have done that. But Imy more than willing to work on it to repair my mistakes -

It does have a steel free so I can tell by the spark difference between the face and the base that is cast iron but I don't know I looked into getting some hard surfacing rodds would that work to build up just a little bit I appreciate any advice on this thank you -

Ahh I'll back away from the grinder Didn't take much off at all but sitll -
Well tilted says it . Picked up a anvil the other day. Has not bad rebound. The face has been beat up really bad by chisels so I figured no big deal as people can be hard on stuff. Well upon future inspection while I was grinding away the pitting. I realized that the face is extremely soft and dents very very easily looks like I just bought a hundred and thirty five pound piece of cast iron

i need a shop will a old wooden grain bin work
eco redneck replied to eco redneck's topic in Building, Designing a Shop
After 10 years of stuff piling up going to be a pain to clean her out but I'll get it done within the next week or so before Christmas hopefully have shop set up sometime after Christmas its It's plenty tall enough for a shop but she's got a slight lean into her for probably only being 75 or 80 years old so might have to deal with that but other than that she's good -
Hello every one So i I have been looking at different styles styles of homemade clinker Breakers lately I've noticed that there's lots of variation in different styles of breakers and gates I guess I've seen some made up from ball bearings washers pieces of tube even so I was wondering if you guys can post pictures of your home a clinker breaker or a gate just to give everybody else some ideas if they need for homemade builds Thanks Eco
