  1. I have more gears and bearings then I could ever use (over 2000 pounds) so if there is anyone ever in southern oregon they are welcome to as much as they can haul I also have a large supply of clean  356 cast aluminum borings and red and yellow brass borings great for casting.

  2. I am a very well compensated cnc programer  and have been rebuilding transmissions on the side for three years hence all the cap ( nearly 250 trannys built ) so it's time for me to do something for myself. I like projects that take time and that I can be really proud of things that you can not, buy but see in pictures

    At my point in life money is not my problem knowledge is what I need and crave

  3. Frosty I see your name on here quite a bit so I value your criticism.

    all four sides are adjustable independently or can be removed all together.

    the burner in the picture is running at 5 psi and is completely stable it starts to flutter at about 1.75 to 2 psi but is stable from 2.3/2.5 to 8 psi and does not produce any more heat after 8 psi.

    I run a restricted bypass on the number 1 burner as a pilot flame and use the number 2 burner as my heat and shut it off between heats. running the pilot burner keeps flame from escaping and heating the venturi also i can turn both burners on and holy hell! also the venturi's are turned units that i made on the lathe that are also fully adjustable for air restriction and I use miller welding tips as gas jets. all gas lines are stainless compression lines.

  4. this is the very first project I have ever struck with a hammer and also the forge that I built my self the burners were turned on the lathe and the venturei  completely adjustable.I use miller welding tips for gas nozzles and stainless steel sch 40 bell for the fire nozzle. the flame is running 5 psi out of a 100lbs tank

  5. Thanks for all the feed back I will keep looking and make some more phone calls .

    I have the itch that will not go away and I think its here to stay. so I guess I will just have to make it part of my life.

    my problem are time and space and getting a handle on the basics. If i can get ahead on one of these, the rest will fallow.

    I have read several books and watched oodles of youtube videos, but nothing compares to hands on with a smith who has time in the fire.

    I do not want to waste someones time but I am a very fast learn, and very motivated to learn as much as I can about the magic that happens in the fire. I am not looking for a profession or even a hobby I want to create things from metal, grand things large and small.

    so if there is a some one around the rogue valley give me a ring any time my number is 541-821-2992 thanks Scott

  6. Hi my name is Scott I live and work in the southern Oregon Rogue Valley area.

    I have worked metal all of my life, I am a CNC programer running 5 haas  CNC mills and lathes. I am also a accomplished welder in MIG, TIG, arc, and oxy/accetyline.

    I have always wanted to learn the art of blacksmithing as a stress relief from the daily precision metal work .

    I have most all the tools to set up a small smithy 3 good size anvils, 2 large post vises,20 or so hammers and tongs, and have also built my own gas forge.

    I am looking for some one in the area that shares the blacksmithing bug as I do, and prefer some one with good experience to give me direction so I do not pick up bad habits.

     

  7. Hi  this is my first time posting anything on any forum so if i am in the wrong place  please tell me . I have an almost unlimited supply of jis g 4805 suj 2 high carbon steel from bearing races that come from transmissions that i rebuild, free to me or they just go to the scrap yard . the question is has anyone used or have knowledge if the metal would be good for one damascus, or inset in axe heads for cutting edge?
