Congrats Steve!! Glad to hear it! Adam

Welcome to the site Bud! Good to have you here! Adam

A few years ago, I was welding the drum on a cement truck at work, from the inside:(. The sleeve of my coveralls caught fire (fire resistant my ***) and I didn't notice for a bit I guess. The flame spread almost to my shoulder before I realised and put it out, it was not cool!! Plus other small leg fires and such over time, but nothing major. Adam

Congrats on the GREAT find Steve!!! If you find you have too much now, you're more than welcome to ship some to me! Adam

I only wear a glove on my holding hand when smithing. I find I loose some hammer control if I use one on my hammer hand. Now if only I could find someone selling bags of left handed gloves:rolleyes: Adam

Welcome to the site, Glad to have you here. Adam

I use the Royal Oak when I do use charcoal. I agree with the price, get mine from Walmart too, but at the end of season, its like $3. It works out cheaper even at $5 a bag cause I too have to ship in coal. Adam

Mines about 60' to the shop, 200+' to the closest neighbor. Never any complaints. Adam

Quack!!!!!

Thanks again Brian. I planned on doing the slitting hot, never thought about doing it cold. I was thinking of using the 1/4 X 1 because I have a bunch here. Do you think its too heavy? Adam

Thanks Brian. I think maybe I'll try some tomorrow, they want 6 of them. Might take some scrap ones to get it right tho. I was thinking some 1/4" X 1" flat bar, do you think it would be heavy enough? Adam

Welcome to the site Tony, good to have ya!! I'm sure with a little searching, you can find all the answers you are looking for here. If not, just ask, someone will be able to help. Adam

I've never heard of them or seen them before today. I was just asked to make some. Adam

Thanks Brian!!! I really want to try some animal heads soon! Adam

Hi guys, looking for some help. I was just asked me about making some anitques type corn dryers for someone. :confused:I'm not sure how to go about it. I'm thinking just some flat bar slit then forged out into the spikes. Could someone please give me some advice? Pictures attached. I'm sure it's simple, but I want to have an idea first. Thanks in advance.

Looking good Chris, Congrat's on your first hammer! Adam

Looks real good for a first try. I think you've inspired me to try some animal heads. Adam

Don't feel bad archiphile, I tried grabbing a hot fire brick a week ago and touched my other hand with a soldering iron on Tuesday:(. It was a bad week Adam

Welcome to the site, good to have ya!!! Adam

Bottoms up!:)

Welcome to the site Molinero, good to have you aboard. You don't have to appologize about your English, it is just fine, better than some people I know, and it's their native language. Adam

Cool, thanks for the link! And thanks for the vid Mark. Adam

Congrats on the first fire!!! It looks great. Like Frosty said, are you putting up a wind screen? I know everytime I burn coal outside, I put something up to keep the smoke and flames from getting blown around too much, namely in my face. Anyway, looks good and I bet you can't wait to get to demo from it now:) Adam

Looking real good Dave, making me jealous:) I really like the wood sides. Adam

Welcome to the site!! Good to have you here. Adam
