Reeltree

called a super quench,,,with chlorine  with a little bit of kiddie urine

Nice lil jig , gonna do one to use up a bunch of broken hay rake teeth into hooks,,,I scraped the driveway from all the heavy rain storms the past few day,, cut the grass then refaced some hammers

Saw an old dusty gallon of raw linseed oil beside the boiled linseed gallons in the old country hardware store the next county over.  On the front of the can states " to use with iron and metal coating and finishes",  at a little over $30.00 for the gallon.  I can't recall seeing any raw linseed for quit some time or is it just my narrow vision

I do like the LB gate valve

works real good at turning square into round

When I locate the 3/4 drill bit it will be finished

Put this one together this week, wheels were a couple bucks at auction

Yep, I liked the concept also,,, made up a large and small one today,,cut the bolt head off ,, welded on a one inch shank

First off I was not talking life threatening or loose of limb situations

Secondly I would hope most would know when the need for professional help is required

Thirdly slam it all you wish for I need not respond anymore

I have gone thru my 57 years of life with what works for me,, when living at the beach getting sun burned and showering in warm water and increasing the temp lil hotter at a time worked for me, minimal peeling,  the same when I burn my self,, now mind you im not talking deep fryer oil to the hospital type, the other day I grabbed a piece of metal that was hot, hot enough to make those instant white marks on the fingers, did the increase hot water trick,, no blisters no soreness,, ya'll may think it to be a myth or not ,but has been working for me for years and years,, I do suggest you use your better judgment and Not use scalding water nor any type of cleaning products,, if you prefer the cooling sensation effect go for it, deal with the sore blisters

nope cold will impregnate the heat which causes the blisters and soreness,

which at sometime you may eventually grab that hot piece of metal, don't fret,, just run warm water over the burn gradually increasing the temp hotter and hotter for as long as you can stand it, this will draw the heat out of the burn,,really it does work as it works also on sunburn, I grabbed a piece yesterday ran it under hot water for a spell ,, today no blisters no sorness

put an adjustable cover plate over the squirrel cage opening, made all the difference in getting the fire to burn

I use hi temp paint on the inside and clay,, outside I get cheap spray paint at the dollar store,,

don't know.I don't have any

punched out this stand last week for the 275 pounder

finally got around to putting wheels on one forge and refurbishing a smaller one

had to go with a hair dryer , the lil blower was 25 mhp wouldn't even get the fire lit

I have the blower parts ,,the box has rusted away 

foodlion carries a cheap pure clay kitty litter,,be sure to grind it up first

My old "anvil" on its new base. Hope to find a real one soon

hey  come on over to Nelson county and look at a couple I have for sale

Gonna start refurbishing an old forge that has been setting around,,, has a western chief blower attached,,,one lil crack  on end to weld..anyone have an idea what make it might be
