    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?

    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......

    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.

    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

    Thanks Glenn.....I knew somebody on here would know. Roy

    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

    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.

    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.

    I use Crawfords or kawartha steel both in Peterborough.

    Hot backset also works very well.....

    I have a hammer I made myself out of a 2" piece of copper pipe filled with lead. the extra weight makes it easy to swing and no damage that can't be fixed with a little heat.
  21. olcarguy
    Hell man if it works and you can beat hot metal then have atter....

    Nice work.....Oak Hill Forge......Do you have any measurements available, and how does that grate attach.....
  23. olcarguy
    A variable speed control for a router will handle the currant easily. Available at better wood working stores.....

    Danz409 Make your own charcoal if you can. it's very easy and if you can get the wood for free it is cheaper too. Some one has to building a new house somewhere in your neighbourhood, ask for the off cuts and be neat and you can get them all the time.....Try a search on making charcoal.

    Awsome work...How are they finished so they don't rust on a finger in daily use?
