If it's a Henry Wright and it is stamped 216 it will weight about 216. Henry Wrights were not stamped in hundred weights!

I think what it say's is Best Swedish Solid Cast Steel makers stamp in the middle

Mine is my avatar 197lb!

If you look a little deeper you will find that Mr Gunther now uses Messer 710 for anvil repair.

If you preregister name tag will be waiting for you when arrive.

If I am not mistaken they are the same ones that Old World Anvils carries!

Didn't have to go to far,about 20 or so miles. About all the Ranger wanted! Had to take it apart to get it in the shop, but that was alright. Didn't plan on running it till I go through everything! Thanks for Birthday well wish hope to post photos as I rebuild.

My winter project, new style 25lb Little Giant hammer! Needs some restoring, but that's half fun of having it!

Sorry for poor photo.Bevels on guard are just for appearance and to cut a little weight.Finnish is not as nice as I would like. Am attaching another photo with better lighting.

First Knife made from first billet made with new forging press, 243 layer random pattern, Brass guard nickle silver pins wood is Granadillow. Came out better than I had hoped for!

Cylinder is from International Hydraulics. They sell splitter parts and dump bed parts general hydraulics,The most compact 5 inch X 8 inch I could find. Search on google should get you to there site.

Bolts in front are shoulder bolts for a toggle latch. Just need to get some the proper length. See pic of first billet started as 9 layers,5 - 1084, 4 double layers of 15n20, Currently at 81 layers,one more draw to 243 then on to a knife! 1084 from Aldo, 15n20 from free bandsaw blades from day job,see pic.

No there is 1/4 inch space between cylinder and mount. You have to realize that the pin is hardened so it ether has to break the pin or stretch the hole. Nether has happened yet thought I have only gotten to use it once, see photo 3/4 inch straightened coil spring.

I thought the same thing about the flanges on the cylinder,but it has a column load rating of 58,900 lb. The little tab's are 2 inch by 3/8 1045 per spec's for cylinder. Bolts for guide plates are 3/8 grade 8. Bottom mounting and top slide mount are 1 1/2 thick. Uprights are 2 by 3 by 1/4 doubled to make a 4 by 3, Bottom mount 6 by 1/2 plate sandwiched between 2 - 6 by 4 by 1/2 angle 13 - 3/4 inch plug welds per angle.

Not new here but my first post.Just finished Sunday haven't had time to see how well it work,s yet!
