Low-Alloy

The addition of thermal couple input to control heat would be great! A simple moltent salt bath heat treat rig would be a snap to make, and the control would probably be as good as you could get within the temp range of the salt being used in regard to ramp up and down times. :wub:

The anvil looks like of Bradley manufacture to me, so does, what looks like, the treadle bar counter weight.

From what I understand, liability is why you see so many kit or plans planes available compared to commercially built small, private aircraft. Also, of course, they can be built less expensively, or built as time and money allows--not as one lump sum buy.

I second what Ironsmith said. Plans, Parts or a kit would be great! Can't see a big outlay in the budget in the near future, but plans, parts or a kit could probably be swung by more of us with moderate means. Cheers!
