    Alteast it's tied down, I once saw a guy fill his fill his truck bed with plywood and leave with the tailgate down and lose all but the bottom couple sheets down the road. I laughed at him pretty good when we got back to the job site, glad I was in front of him on the way back.

    Does that mean if you unsheath your sword more than twice your just playin with it?
  5. NickOHH

    Sounds like it's worth a try curious for the results.

    Fazzios in newark, DE has mild in any size imaginable they have a jersey location also and I believe they have medium/high carbon and tool steels but I haven't been to that location yet to check it out. But the deleware location has the best prices around available in 5 , 10 and I think 20 foot lengths and they will cut a few for free then a buck a cut for more , but I have never been charged a cut yet.

    Looks good, one thing would be to leave a bit more taper on the handle so if (as) the wood dries shrinks and gets hammered in you can keep driving the handle further in. But great job!

    That second anvil definetly looks like a brooks to me with a coat of black on it insted of their factory blue. I love my 100# brooks , looks to be in similar condition too but I paid half that, however i don't know the market out in your neck of the woods, but can say they are fine anvils.

    Not so much grammar hammers but it's easier to explain stuff and understand questions when we / you know what's really goin on. You can try brinin it to critical and quenching in oil see if it hardens up, if it does your golden if not don't waste your time and effort.

    The janka hardness is 3260 which puts it at twice as hard or so as black locust, no wonder how it got it's name .
  12. NickOHH
    Yup I'm with Stan some are 1725rpm some are at 3450 if you end up with a 3450 instead you need twice the hp you would otherwise.

    Welcome to the site Nathan grab a comfy chair and somethin cold to drink you should be able to find the answers to any questions and if you can't seem to find it there are some knowledgable folks on here!

    Hmmm.... Now this has me thinking... Could be do able what would be the smallest motor I could run on a hammer this size??
  15. NickOHH
    I was gonna say if they start rusting you just need to use em more

    The anvil walking across the floor doesn't count as moving metal ... Or does it.

    I don't like veggie oils in the wood they go rancid after awhile and don't cure. I stick with boiled linseed oil, it has accelerators in it so it hardens once it absorbs but on metal if there is excess it can leave a gummy coatings if it's thick. A little 3 in 1 machine oil is good too.

    It will quiet down a good bit just being secured down to the stump also so the chain might not be nessecary. Won't be silent but it does help ALOT.

    I didn't bother etching I need to make a new batch of ferric chloride and it's such a small area that is fully welded that I don't think you would notice. The back end you can still see the individual strands I may try another completly welded and etch it.

    I used some flat bar wih a couple holes drilled right outside the feet with long lags goin into the stump holds it real tight and I drop tools in the slot to keep em handy when needed .
  21. NickOHH
    Yup, generous with the borax
  22. NickOHH
    Here's one I did today out of a peice of cable i kinda like it.
  23. NickOHH
    I picked up a few tricks I think, I was pay attention to how you were tweaking it to get the balance. I see you skipped the metal wedge, looks like a nice tight fit goin on the angle should be just fine and looks clean.

    My pleasure, Glad I could make it up, I learned a ton, can't wait to try forging more of my own in fact I forged a proper hammer eye drift outta a jackhammer bit.
