naah....in aus , a good joke, is a good joke. and if it got someone even better....i had to click! if ida thought someone would've jumped, id've done it, if i thought of it.....lol and someone only has to wisper.. "selling!", and it triggers the genetic marker of the vulture trait in most....lol.

ive heard that about the tinnitus thing...diet.....long live iced coffee!....ringggggg i wear the ...used to wear the $50 tiny in the ear, allow voice and block other noise for shooting, and now for grinding etc the hard earmuff sort. the little ones used to carry stuff into my ear, with the in out thing, and pressure annoy eventually.

lol.....i have good days ....and bad days..its all about how you hold your tongue....till you've done a heap. before i had oxy, i scrapped a whole gate once over two collars, even ran over it, and then paid someone else to do it.......lol like these Thomas Powers, lovem!

i like it...love heavy textured, decorative.

they look ok to sell to me, my first one i left to melt in the fire as a sacrificial offering,....lol

awesome the lot for $5000, glad i pm'd you. ill get the carriers phone number to you.

i think the top pic should be a display decorative bit, looks good, and the rest, send to me, bill to naked anvil,..:-)

scrap yard $20.00 and a bucket or two of high tensile bolts (i use as pins, most in the boxs brand new)

although most of what people consider to be safety gear now is mostly a stylish compromise, and untill, as some of you im sure have had, wether some wish to admit or not...you have had to be driven to the doctor and had the odd shard removed from the surface of the eye with a dental probe..( oh joy! ) .. if asked, i will always suggest full wrap or full face, and mention that what ever comes of at 8000 rpm or flicks off hot, which part of you face would you like it not to go to.. i use the yellow tint specs large lens, for forging,... i use the ones that look like under water type goggles for gringing and die griding, and sometimes, the ever faithfull half helmet and full face shield. the gromet wears the paintball type goggles and face shield combo, and has had two high speed abr. disks blow up in his face, with no ill effect.

oh alright, 150 the lot and you pay freight...lol nice bits.

lol.....its a self portrait......more 6 packs.....lol

nice job!

oh very cool pics for the spanner comp....i like the scorpion

bit dodgy i know, but im only a pretend one.

nice! i would give a months worth of toe clippings for one of them.

i pretty much use charcoal for most of my forging. wood, would keep a cooler fire until the impurities burn off leaving sufficient char to attain its greater heats. i like it as there is only the ash to put through the garden, or make lye, and some(less than coke) gum/impurities, as lumps of clinker. while the byproducts of timber give flame, for wheatever you want it for, wood gas for powering whatever engines also, and the miriad of other bits and uses, charcoal wood be my pick for forging. (my analogy would be, forging with timber is like trying to run a petrol car on crude oil. better to distill it.) raw, or undistilled timber for forging, while you get plenty of flame, if air assisted, and at the face layers of the fire some considerable heat (depending on the air, shape of the fire, and type of timber. however ive usualy only managed a red to dull orange heat in steel from air assisted, undistilled timber. The coals from a fire, transfered to a forge, or dowsed and used later for forging, gives you the, "metal flowing down the drain as you take too long to role your smoke"...effect.

yeah i gotta admit, landrovers rock! and the air hyd ram i put on when im lazy.

you drink all the 6 packs you like on me....just bill it to finnr. yeah wife's old man, so we got the muther up here for a while....( might even make her a cage of her own...with a floor!....lol) got some other goodies, guess ill haffta include a birthday card. probly ready to send by monday. (gotta tig a bit on the back of the ausie bling so it will stand on her desk).

sorry about the delay grant, death in the family, getting to it now.

awesome!. do it another few times for paractice, finnish them off and post to me... :P

just wondering if some one has tried it or advice.

actually...even some of the fumes you cant see or smell can do you harm. coal/coke more so, and char... as the blokes are saying ...use a vent/chimney or do it outside. charcoal just need shallower fire, a bit less wind, big mess with ash (dust mask?) and it helps if you can stop the air while you hammer.(as said)..it burns quicker. i use charcoal primarily...and when i use coke, i use the charcoal to light the coke/coal. i forge outside and sometimes with a fan to generate the cross wind.

yep, rob browne covered it, but hey,...its only gotta work for my money....lol

handfull of charcoal gets coke and coal going no probs
