Prayers for Das. In the name of the Father, the Son, and Holy spirit, Amen

Hello all. It's been a long since posting. Tried to make a tomahawk from a ball pein hammer. Here's the result. Crumbled when forged. Cast iron? I did not really look at it before forging assuming it should have been forged.

Got a job new job a different body shop and this Columbian #504 is at my station. It's mounted on a flimsy table though it does what I need it to do. I thought it is a pretty cool vise to be in a body shop!

I like it Michael!

That is very cool Joe!

Frosty. The new ones need a little poke in the right direction on how to ask a question politely. :-)

Very nice

I love your handy little bending tool. You say the hooks might not be exciting but I see someone in the shop having fun being a blacksmith making something nice and thats what its all about!

Oh my c-1. Those are very cool!! I wonder how big the guitar player is.

I like it. I can imagine the sound of operating the latch. Is the latch stiff enough so the weight of the handle will not open the latch if the wind is rattling the door?

Congratulations on mounting up great great grandads vise. The family history on it is cool. I have my grandads anvil so I know how you feel. My first vise was an Indian Chief so they mean something special to me.

Same here welshj.

Prayer sent

Nice score Steven on that chief! I believe in the addiction. I have 4 also and very lucky they are all Indian Chiefs. Some call it hoarding but I found them all on CL and got them for very fair prices (100 usd for the 5 1/4 and 60 or less for the others) so I don't feel bad about getting them.

Are you feeling well Joe? You used an angle grinder for that cut. I didn't know you had any power tools :-) I always enjoy your vids. Nice project!
