Waht Ever You Do Grind Or Send Blast Some Of The Toxic Metals Will Stay !!! You Must Ventilate The Working Site ,open Windows And Doors . I Have In My Smithy Big Ventilators That I Aim In A Way To Take The Fumes In The Other Direction Towards The Gig Windows. On Top Of It I Have Two Big Roof Ventilators That I Put On To Operate That Sucks The Fumes Trough The Ciling Port. Only Then Comes The Carbon Filter Mask, When The Ventilation Is Good You Do Not Need. Uri Hofi

Steve The 6150 Is A Very Tough Steel .you Can Come Up To 60 Hrc But I Prefer 55-56 Hrc Then It Will Be More Elastic And The Edge Of The Anvil Will Not ''suffer''. The One In The Fotos Is 250# I Plan Another One Bigger 300# I Have The Drowing Finished. My Cated Hammers Are Cast From 6150 And The Are Much Tougher And Withstandind The Forging Work The The 8650 That I Cast Before Uri Hofi

Apprenticeman Hello And Hi The Anvil Is Having Three Legs Because Of It The Anvil Is Always Leveld To The Ground The Three Legs System Permits You To Stand As Near To The Anvil And You Dont Have To Bend Yourself . Because Of The Glue The Anvil And The Base Are One Unit And Very Solid The Round Beack (cone Side) Is Not! Round It Is Having Three Edifferent Raduses To Help You Forge Different Formes The Base Is Having To Ports Or Bays That Are Open To The Ground Both Sides Of The Anvile You Can Use Them To Straighten Steel Or Different Elements An Uper Sharp Stage 90 Degrees To The Anvol Neer The Hardie Hole That Alows You To Forge Elements With Small Opening Some Steel That You Cut With A Chiesle And You Want To Forge Both Sides Without Dameging. You Can Also Aligen Formes Being Suported On The Anvil And The Stage. When Forgin Holes The Verity Of Prichel Holes 1/2-5/8-7/8-11/8'' Gives You The Possbilily To Punch The Hole Without Speciel Tooling. The Short Drifts That I Use For The Punching Are Falling Into The Water Bowl That Is Always Under The Holes (you Can Not See It In The Fotos, It Was Taken Away For Transport) Because Of The Ports On Both Sides Of The Anvil You Can Clamm Big Steel To The Anvil And Suport It On A Piece Of Steel On The Ground (much Better The The Vise). Thank You For Your Interest Uri Hofi

This Is My Anvil Designe Which I Plan To Cast Out Of 6150 Somewhere In The East Of Europ Or Chaina. Mounted On A 1 3/4 Plat And Glued To The Plat With Sikaflex 11 Fc To Prevent The Ringing And Get A Much Beter Rebound (reaction) The Thre Legs Out Of 2x4 1/4'' Wall R.h.c Welded To The Plat In 22 Degrees. The Plat Is Cut In A Way That Follows The Pateren Of The Anvil Base And There Are Holes In The Plate Under The Paralel Holes In The Anvil And You Can Easy Go Down To The Ground With The Steel Every Place Around The Anvil 3-4 Pritchle Holes And 1 1/4 Hardie Hole. The Base Is Squer And You Can Upset Around The Anvil Ther Are Many Mor Advanteges To The Anvil If Asked I''ll Explain Hofi

IForgeIron Blueprints Copyright 2002 - 2007 IFORGEIRON, All rights reserved. BP1031 Step Twist by Uri Hofi The assorted twists. The 5/16 is marked every 1-1/4 inch and every second is incised with a thin fuller on every other side. Not with a chisel because when you twist it will tear apart. The 5/16 x 1-1/4 inch is marked every 1-1/2 inches. The square is marked every 1-1/4 inches but you have to have to mark every two flats on the diamond, one after the other on the opposite side. The steel flat 5/16 x 3/4 inch and 5/16 x 1-1/4 inch and 3/4 inch square. The length is according to the amount of steps you want to do. The fly press is 100 years old 20 tons. The fuller on the press is 1/4 inch thick. The rosebud. Adjust the depth of the fuller to 5/16 to 3/8 inches. Straightening with a wooden mallet on a steam of wood. Repeat. In this case 7 times .but it can be more or less. Hold the bottom part in the vise. Heat the fullered point with the rosebud and twist with the twister half a turn (180 degrees). Repeat until finish and straighten with the mallet. The same operation is done with the square steel. But you fuller from both sides of the diamond to get the connecting nipple in the corner. When you change sides, you get the other one in the opposite corner, and so on to the end. The twisting is done the same. Samples of different depth and size of the fuller. The fuller size the depth and the steel are end less.
