  1. Me and Marcy are probably about an hour from Lancaster depending where exactly but we grab coal not far from jws's place, and try and make the PABA meetings when we can . Always cool meetin people from the forum.
  2. I want to be there when you harden it too
  3. Nice stand, good idea, nice and simple, have to test it out on my next coal run won't be long now.
  4. Ahh ok I see you start with rounded corners before you punch and drift. Didn't catch that the other day .
  5. You could either make a bick/ stake anvil and mount it on a stump or you can drift it all the way open but it's more critical to have a good centered hole to drift it, however you can work the corners with the drift in the hole then drive it all the way through for final sizing.
  6. Hmm.... I drift mine about half way then use the horn to finish it , if the hole isn't centered exactly I can work the high spots to keep it even then work it back round at the end.
  7. Marcy's step dad owns a bussiness that does house clean outs , he has found 3 fishers so far for the taking. An 1897 120# , a 40# and the 1860's 80# that I received for my bday.
  8. I am thankful for this wonderful free source and all the help that has taken me from a guy who smoothed a peice of steel to a guy who can slightly more efficiently smoosh a piece of steel!
  9. That's not very deep, can you use a brick in the edge of the forge or rig up a stand to hold it then you could pile it higher.
  10. I like the sound of that, we like playing in your "toy room" :)
  11. Sounds like you may just need to pile on some more coal, it wants to burn. How wide x how deep is the fire pot? Bottom or side blast?
  12. Ooo I like that idea Pizza cutter hmmmm.... Maybe that would encourage Marcy to make more delicious pizzas.
  13. No help here but curious for responses , I think a couple damascus rings are in the future
  14. You may be hard pressed to find a better tasting solution to your slack tube needs.
