    Got the air trap installed today, will be under a pressure test for next few days

    ask for a LB at your local electrical supply with ends close to your blower piping size

    Could not get replay posted in Glenn's original topic and felt my reply worth mentioning,, The Smithsonian Institute has plans for cannons from that era,, maybe forge wagons too,, worth a try A guy over in the Shenandoah Valley was able to get a copy of drawings for an original 6 pound cannon sent to him (Confederate) He made everything exactly from the specs

    I do believe coal dust will fill in the cracks

    wow ,,purty shop,,I was measuring and figuring for a water trap and air lines to plumb in a compressor,, have most all the fittings but will still cost near 200.00 for the copper pipe, ball valves, air connectors and such,, hope to find a 3/4 hydro hose laying around to use for a flex hose from compressor to the water trap,, I know I got one somewhere, If the shop looked like grumpy's it would be in my hand already

    All for nuttin,, owner pulled the first forge out of the sale to keep for himself,, the second one was a HOJ,,anvil probably 50-60#,, pictures can be very deceiving was a nice 1.5 hour ride over in the valley

    ok, thx,, I know nuttin about gassers,,I have three hand crank blowers now that were rehabbed out of old sheds,, I noticed in the second forge pic there maybe some burner parts missing,, I have a new in the box Dayton motor that should fit if need be,,

    welp,, Im not saying I havn't been a victim of acquiring a pig in a poke in the past but I do try to limit those instances, hence the above posting, if the price is good and they look to be in good and / or serviceable condition , i'll take my chances knowing there is a plethora of knowledge to be had here

    I should'a seen that one coming,, I would say,, buy the dump truck you can also put the 15 passengers in the back if need be on the other hand ,, you didn't recognize either as an absolute "pig" "stay away from", that was the jest I was aiming at,, I shall use my better judgment when I can get a closer hands on look at em,,,it has served me well in the past

    Updated auction pic's indicate two gassers,,and decent looking 80-100# range anvil,, will find out tomorrow evening, the guy use to be a farrier,, having no experience what so ever with gasser's,, which of the two would be more conducive to obtain?
  11. Reeltree
    very nice piece for the first one,,,perhaps a slit, V wedge thru the back middle for pulling out the stakes cool touchmark
  12. Reeltree
    If I get it, I'll ask about what upgrades can be done
  13. Reeltree
    Have a line on either a whisper baby or momma in up coming auction, hope to score it for pennies on the dollar
  14. Reeltree
    Thx,, its called a double seaming stake for tinning and such,, probably come in handy for other work also. My old 86 kingcab 4x4 Nissan had 2 tranny overhauls ( riding the beaches surf fishing was hard on the bearings) retired it with over 300k miles when the frame by the rear wheels rusted out. It gave me excellent service

    Some auction finds, an older butcher block brush with extremely stiff spring steel,
  16. Reeltree
    Has weight to it,,did a lil research and he dabbled in silver also,, I will contact the folks at Davistownmuseum.org./ biolynch L. I believe it's a paper weight
  17. Reeltree
    It looks like a tight fit under the rim,,,how where you able to get it around the rim without chipping
  18. Reeltree
    Exactly,, at a young age I was grinding mower blades without glasses,,the next day the little piece of sliver began to rust,, naturally I began rubbing the irritated spot . By mid day it was extremely painful,, went to ER had my head strapped into what could be compared to a horizontal drill press ,, flushed my eye with liquid cocaine for numbing , and drilled that little sucker out,, don't second guess with your eyeballs.
  19. Reeltree
    Auction haul,,never hooked up/used 80 gallon 12.9cfm@90psi compressor ,,1/3 new cost. Delta planer still has the protection film on the feed table,,one Franklin
  20. Reeltree
    I have a sway-back just for the purpose of straightening bent tractor and equipment parts and pieces,,,heat and beat then back to work
  21. Reeltree
    I have a lil rounder with electric blower,, comes in real handy to do a quick heat and beat on something
  22. Reeltree
    keep your eye on Auction zip for near by sales,,, just had 2 last month with older champion forges,, might fill your need during the interim,, far warning,,I might be biding also
  23. Reeltree
    that just made my head ache
  24. Reeltree
    Yeah I have a lil piece of pipe to slide the tip into welded on the front of the cart for storage. I have a 3 inch donut magnet to make some kind of holder to attach to those unusual places
  25. Reeltree
    Put this little mig gun holder together,,, nothing worse than setting it down on the trigger having multiple feet of wire spool out
