FIT BMX

That looks wonderful! How did you do the centers of the flowers?

For a first knife that looks good!

That is beautiful!

If (and that is a big "IF") I fix it, I will grind a large V into the crack, heat then weld it. Then grind it smooth, and sister a thick piece of plate to it. I want to make it clear! That I will make no repairs if I don't know for sure that it is completely safe!!! I may joke around but I never take any chances on dangerous machinery!

I really really appreciate all the help!

I live in Burns Kansas.

If I do fix it, I will weld it myself. I have always wanted to learn to braze, and it not like I'm going to mess it up!LOL

If I scrap it I will definitely set the flywheel and stand to the side.
I know some times you can sell stands like for tables, slap a nice piece of oak on it and you have table for your living room!

I have never been around triphammers at all, but I kinda wondered if it was because it has no sping or give. I figured that was how it broke, that he was using it wrong, bing they thought it was a triphammer. :(

Would the best bet for repairing it be brazing?

Should it have some diys too?

Well in that case, do any of you know some one in the market for a really really good walnut cracker?

My brother whent to this lady's house to buy a tractor she had for sell, and well he was there she asked if he wanted to buy the triphammer. So he said that I might be interested.

So I whent and looked at it, she said she know nothing about it, it was her husbands (so was the tractor), he left her with the kids and she is selling his stuff!LOL :lol:

She was going to send it to the crusher if I didn't want it! So I payed her a lttle more than scrap price for it $400.

But it has a bad break on it. :(

What I need to know is, is the break be fixed? and who made this hammer? Is it missing anything? If it is it may still be in her shed somewere, and I could ask her if she has it.

I really don't have the room for it, and I don't really need something this big, so I will most likely sell it. I just really really hated to see it go for scrap! :rolleyes:

Thanks for any help!

P.S.

any idea what it is worth? Or did I mess up and it is scrap.

Hi! :)

This is my first post. I only do a little bit of blacksmith work, as A hobby, or if there is something I need to fabricate.

I do not have a forg yet but plan on building one. Right now I use wood fire or a cutting torch, and both are a pain in the neck!LOL

I am sure I will find lots of great info on the forum, and I know it will be very helpful! :D
