Hmmm!! i'll be your friend

Thanks for the kind words guys i have a ways to go but I think I can do this

you nead to post a pic of that bad boy !

Made these today cross didnt turn out the way I wanted but for the first one I can deal with it Wifey says I"m to hard on myself . I need to do better at sawing the kerfs hard to keep strait .

Hey Jayco looks nice did you sink post's in the ground or do you just have this sittiong on block ?

I'd like to see this myself a drawing would be nice

I was quoted a price of 140.00 to ship a 160# anvil from one of the suppliers, thats from them to the freight haulers dock then i would have to pick it up

Thats a nice anvil and base you got there djhammerd. I'm just starting into this and looked at some diff base's for anvil's but your's is real nice mine is simple ,made from a pc of maple if I recall correctly

Thanks Bruce , rthibeau I got it just didnt want to force things and break the housing. I'm good at breaking stuff sometimes. It look's great in there

Ok so I need to just lift a little and slide it off ?

Hi have a champion 400 blower that turns well enough but I would like to take the top off to clean up the inside and there are 2 srew I took out do i need to something diff any ideas thanks joe

As a beginner leaves look a bit tuff as do other things ,but you make it look simple well done video and very nice leaf key chain !

Looks good Id be happy with it make another and you can probably see improvement in what and how you do it . I 'm going to try one of these myself. What size square stock did you use ?

Here are some pics of my forge and anvil 127# Haybudden and hand pump type rivet forge

I dont know if you have flea markets in the Netherlands but it would be a place to look ,also metal shops that are going out of buisness, public sales and scrap yards good luck

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

Wich anvil is the most sought after for collecting and or using ? Peter Wright , Fisher , Haybudden others ? And why ?

Id fill em now this winter could be expensive

For my home heating they told me locked in price was going to be 3.79 for LP delivered

Those are real nice !!

Sounds like you fixed your problem keep a eye on the feed rollers @ 20yrs old you may need to replace them at some point depending how much use it has had . I had problems with a new lead at work one time and the liner was to long and trimmed it off and no problems after that .
