I was burnt by scale, have you ever been
longhunter replied to hibjib10987's topic in Blacksmithing, General Discussion
Yea I'm new to forgeing I was making a heart out of a old horse shoe today and got my first scale burn. It's going to happen just like when I weld at work some times them buggers find there way up over your helmet and down the back of your shirt You will get use to it atleast to some degree I figure. -
That looks real nice you should be happy

Looks nice is the twisted handled pc a flipper also ? Some of my friends would like them I'm sure you wont have trouble getting rid of them !!

I have a Haybudden 127# its seen some use thats for sure looking at it if you can like the beauty of a anvil I find it a nice looking anvil the face has some marks here and there and the edges are chipped out and rounded . You guys are saying if I'm readin you all correctly its the utility of the anvil regardless of who made it . I'll be using this one till a better one maybe shows up
