    What mr frosty was saying is the end of your tip needs to be only halfway into the opening of the cross t. This is where you start it with when tuning.

    the worst they can do is say no. On the other hand they might have what your looking forn or can point you in the right direction. Check for ceramic supply stores also

    Wow. So many posts calling me a fool for wanting to do something that i never said i wanted to do (casting). What i was referring to was wootz steel or crucible steels. The smelting was just an idea since i do not have a ready source of iron ore available to me.

    I have an anvil just like this. The face on mine is in better shape though. Have no problems using it with a small bick in the hardie

    I have the crazy idea in my head to take acraps of steel wire(1010) and filings from the shop lathes, drills, etc and mixing in equal parts crushed glass. Then using the mix to charge a smelter or in crucible steel. My question is will this work in lieu of an iron ore?

    i did something similar with brake drum/rotor from my jeep. 2ftx3ft sheet cut from an old burn barrel folded edges and a circle cut out to drop the drum in. Some concret and perlite mix to line it with and bring the inside level with the top of the rotor face and she'll melt steel quicker than you can say boo.

    Mike, going to try and make this with Bobby, really depends on the work schedule for me and likely won't know till the Thursday/Friday before

    Thing is I've worn the goatee since 94 when I got off active duty. The rest is generally Miami Vice type shadow . I usually just take the clippers to the sides and neck every week or so

    Y'all I have a question. I have a 8x8x16 120# block of solid steel that I'm having a bar time of figuring out how to mount on a stand. No feet to tie down with and not sure I want to break the blocks integrity by drilling into it. thank you

    I really thought this was gonna be a post about the police harassing you after a neighborhood complaint. Glad to see it was rather about something really karma instead.

    I used corner brackets and pre-drilled lag screws to lock mine down to a 2x12 stand

    Look up steve sells here on the site as he is in your area. And welcome 'crawler' (if you don't explain we'll make something up I'm sure)

    Just don't use any coated or galvanized steels. They can release toxic fumes that will kill you when heated in a forge

    I'll be the first to say it 01. You suck dude! Seriously nice score there

    This followed me home today. Garage sales rock. Anybody have idea on the maker? Haven't found any markings except for parts like it was a kit form to the customer

    Wow a weeks gone by and no replies? Nobody has a clue even?

    Hey leave me out of this one. Although I would like to see your shop in person mike.

    Have to agree with the doc. Handles on grill forks work best when the vertical and horizontal cross-section are equal. Oh yeah and most grilles won't put holes in the meat (all the juices leak out dryer steaks) tongs definitely tongs
