  1. Likes the new board..

  2. Nice job on the new forum. Been gone for a spell, it sure is a change, a good one at that.....
  3. Been working on this on and off when time permitted. It's all made from scap bits that were laying about. Feel free to critique as you like.....haven't fired it up yet maybe today.....OCG http://picasaweb.google.com/olcarguy/NewForge # Last couple pics are of some freebies I received. Can anyone identify the all thread in second last pic?
  4. Some times we have to take a step back and make a decision. Is plus or minus .5 of an inch good enough or is .005in good enough. Depending on the job some times .0005 is not good enough it depends on the job. Must remember we are Blacksmiths not Machinists......
  5. When my wife says aren't you finished yet, stop being such a perfectionist and leave it alone it's done already. Nobody will see the mistakes but you.

  8. So thank you for the extended help Irnsrng.......
  9. OK Glenn. Your post got me to thinking, it jogged the memory, gave it a kick start if you will. I remember the old way I did it. Draw a straight line the length of the #1 circumference, from the centre of this line draw a line at 90
  10. Thanks Glenn.....I knew somebody on here would know. Roy
  11. I need to fab a transition from 4"OD to 2.25"OD for the air supply on my new forge. Problem is I seem to be forgetting many of the tricks I have learned along the way. I have built many transitions in the past but I'll be xxxxxx if I can remember how. I know I need the circumference of each piece and lay out with dividers on a perpendicular, but thats about it. Old age sucks....new metal beater....old millwright
  12. Old axles where tempered differently at the ends where the splines and bearing seat was as compared to the centre area. The centres where normalized I think....not sure.
  13. You can wet it with some water to make a paste that sticks if you want. Thats how I was taught to weld [solder] silver and gold.
