It's a specialty bolt to fasten a dashboard to a 100 year old doctors buggy I'm restoring. Small, but a special head , and it's bent. There's two of them. Not a structural thing, 1/4" by 2".

If I straighten bolts with forge, do I retemper and harden?

Steve, I just saw this post, and I could possibly lend a hand in rebuilding. I am in Ky right across the river from Corydon,In. Pm me with some times and I could drive up there.

Nice work!

I found one in southern In. Peter Wright,125lbs,nice shape 375.00. Shipping is not cheap though. Clig

Nice job!

Had a great time at the meeting Saturday. Thanks to Lewis for his time, and he was a great host. Good to know the history of his shop, very interesting. Also great to meet everyone in person, bunch of great people. Looking forward to the next meeting. Clif

Try my best to be there! Clif

200# 1938 Fisher

Nice work Dave! Well deserved!

Thanks!

Last weekend I bought a 230 lb. Fisher that looks like it's never been used. I paid $125.00. It has 1938 under the tail on the body. Is that the year made?

'Colorado', excuse me!!

Great pair of spurs, nice work! Colorada's a great place to ride, isn't it?!!

Thoughts and prayers going from Tennessee!!,clif

Very nice design!! Good work!!

Fiddlers Grove is a great place and great bunch of people! Rutherford County Blacksmiths Association is another good place and good people, in Murfreesboro. You can take lessons if you join and get your 'green card', and get some experience from some people with the 'know how'! Possum Trot Forge in Adams, Tn. is another group that meet monthly, north of Nashville, close to Springfield. Mostly though, you can gain a wealth of knowledge here on this forum. Lots of pros on this site, with all types of backgrounds. Welcome to the site!

welcome robert! this is a good place to learn and gain a lot of info. Fiddlers Grove has a nice little smithy. lots of us tennesseans on here also!

Prayers sent from mid tennessee! God be with Frosty and Deb! Hang in there Frosty!

Seldon, hate losing my Kentucky neighbor, but best of luck to you in Alaska! I may be up there in late spring next year to do a little flyfishing. I don't know how close to Anchorage we'll be though. Maybe I can holler at you and Frosty when I'm there.Take care, friend. Clifton
