You can see here oil pump - Blacksmith Photo Gallery
this is my oil pump it's a hand pump looks a lot like yours but both mine and yours are missing something ...and that is a lever used to push and make presure to send oil throw the lines althow the hammer sucks oil i don't think it's compelty without a pump and some reasons that i think this way ... the oil lines are on top of the jar ... oil won't go up when the level is sinking and the second one ... mine is not like this mine has a manual pump ...i'll take a pic of it 2morow ...after beeing replaced and others have a engine pump ... so ... i whoud say some parts are missing from that pump

yeap i have that plate ...strange is that the press came with a spacer that has a 1cm free play and this is not becaus it was use ...

Ok... i am working into this punch press tring to get it alive my problem is this or maybe it's not a problem ... but why does the head needs a spacer there ? and do i have to make a new one to perfet fit the empty space or is it normal to be loose ... here are the pictures with what i talk about

well the levers on the side are
1 it's conected to the foot pedal so that u can control the stroke from the hand also.
2nd one has 2 position
hammer head up-when u start the hammer the hammer head get's puled up and when u push the pedal it strikes down
hammer head down-when u start the hammer the head sits down and when u push the pedal it get's up and then down
i can;t see for shure in the pic but mine has a 3d one at the oil pum to greeas the cylinders(i can't see it in the picture )

You must very proud ! Just don't do what my father does even if he is proud and that is always criticize keep this in mind when she will grow bigger !!! Very nice start she must have a good teacher !

Yumy looks like a nice next project Maybe i can install it on the car :)

well ..i'll let it be as it is i think the sword will lose it's character if i'll rust it to mutch and about the price i think i'll ask 100USD for it that will cover the GAS,IRONm and a beer Probably does not even worth that mutch but i need to get the money for the gas:)

This set of hammers folowed me home ... i payed aroound 2...3USD/ small ones and 10 USD for the sledge...And as far as the lathe parts ...i found a full lathe at the junkyard he guy asked 300USD for all of it so i just took the oil pumps and the knife table for 50USD

Well... I whoud have 2 questions
1.How to give it an atique look
2.How mutch shoud i charge for it ? beeing my 1st blade (the gas for the forge was 60USD, materials 20 ) and the work ...around 25 hours- lot of thie spent heating it up.Shoud i give it for free to the guy.

I started grinding and i am here

Man i don't even what to think about this ! And i can't read makes me sad and scared

I'll let you know how this works tomorow when i'll start forging my 1st sword:)
Hope u like it ! and if u don't tellme what whoud have u done diferently

I can see why the first looker bought it Nice

I bet that u can find many ways to use it :)

maiking the burner without welding ...quite difficult do u have a lathe ?

Something that i did and i do not recomand doing is ...after 2hours of work i turned of the gas ...the forge bricks where hot and bright and what i did i tried to fire up the forge using the hot air inside and i turned on the gas after a few seconds after the shutdow... It made a BOOM i think it's because there was no fire inside just the heat and the heat made the gas to explode. Nothing happend i was just scared. And about forging temp ... i don't know if u need a blown burner caz i never was able to make one that works good and + i use GPL (the gas you use instide the cars instead GPL =GAS PETROL LIQUID don't know for shure but i think 50 & butan 50 % propan)
