Could always go to a sports shop and purchase a couple of shot putt and bore some holes they should be around 16lb each

Yep have one of those little hammers just the bees knees for my small work area.

Glenn In my expierance heating exhaust hardware sometimes works if it does not thebolt become extremely hard and differcult to drill afterward I would heat as alast resort if you have room centre punch and drill to the largest size stud extractor thats possible, use the straight fluted stud extractor such thatr are used on pipe as the spiral ones will expand the soft steel into the threads, some times are called brass fitting extrators. If it indeed it is a bolt still drill and punch out. hopes this helps.

Regards Mark

Thanks guys
Cheers Mark

Thanks Guys for your answers, I will try not to heat above 500F What would the expansion rate be for mild steel.
cheers Mark

I would like some some help on different techniques to band wooden blocks together using steel straps, without burning the wood. I tried searching the site but to no avail.

My new toy, a fly press by Sweeney & Blocksidge, Birmingham.
Vital stats are;
5" throat, column to centre of screw
7" clear from bed to guides
18" swing of handle
Screw diameter; (very approximate) 46mm
pitch; (very approximate) 63mm
Four start thread.



Stop nut handle is broken off and it has no balls (where have i heard that before?!). But I'm definately not complaining; price was below $200.
Appeared on the Bay-of-E, from a dealer i've known for years, realised this once I heard his voice on the phone.

I am curious to know the rating; no such marking. I had a quick google images search, which tells me they are relatively common in the UK, can be bought for twice as much , and may be a number 2 to 5 model.
Also I wonder the age of the thing.
Does any one out there know them?

Very nicely thank you! (cue rimshot)

As I understand it---as you change thickness of stock, the angle of the marker changes keeping it aligned with the center----Very neat trick indeed!

I've spent a lot of time thinking about building a similar tool as this one I just found for sale online:

Having neither the skill nor the confidence with heat treating and needing a pair of hammers, I took two club hammers, a cutting and grinding disc, a few hours and came up with these.

I thought they turned out OK.

Thanks Glenn
