The black "metal" sand you get when dragging a magnet in the dirt. Anyone know the content? And could you use it as a powder substitute for damascus. Or use it to make a billet. Yes, I know you could do anything, but has anyone actually tried it? Curious on the results. I guess magnetite for canister damascus could be the better question

Just want to let you guys know I found the exact same anvil on eBay turns out it's a Fisher.

Well it's been a while. I figure there's no better place to go than here to find out. Just found it. 100 embossed on one leg and T72 embossed on the back. I was thinking Fisher but have no idea. The T72 throws me off...

thats a start, more info than I have. So its weighted in grams...good starting point to search thank you

Found this hammer awhile back, and someone asked me about it. Can you identify? Have background info. I think it says Special Warranted 800 with a texas logo surrounding it. But please give your own ideas

huh

I guess I wear blinders. There's a thrift store less than 2 miles from me. Never knew it. Until over a year later lol Found these there with a set of tongs... Any idea of what they were...roughly 2" and 3.5" size solid

Can you post better pics? Especially around the pulley area. Looks interesting

where is your location...if close. I sometimes get lucky and find them on occasion...sometimes pretty cheap or up for trade. If close I will point you in the right direction if I locate one...

NOT MEANT TO BE!!! GOT IT ALL SET UP, AND TAKES WAAAAAY TOO LONG TO GET HOT, AND TAKES WAAAAY TO LONG FOR ANYTHING I PUT IN THERE TO GET HOT!! UGGH! Going back to my coal sweet coal forge! I'm sure people have had way better experiences, more burners, better fire brick etc.... I have patience, but not that much patience....

Found a few things...thought I would see if I can put together a gas forge... Here it is so far...started this afternoon. Added a side piece for a table in case I need to set something down... Its some kind of air tank on top...bottom is some kind of button stand...I literally had a box connected to it with a button in it....no idea what is was for... grabbed a metal box I had laying on side of house... I needed some height so I figured I would add the box for some storage... ..not sure what I'm going to add or subtract tomorrow on it, but its fun seeing what I can figure....

I was watching and thinking the same thing! Or switch out the motor...maybe it's just me but I have no less than half a dozen extra motors laying around for and from one thing or another...hit up "Craigstlist or Overnight from ebay. Something! I thought they just wanted to set up the situation for the new hammer to come into the picture....

Maybe because everyone is so Suit Happy....companies are trying to cover themselves from openly offering anything directly that could in any way shape or form cause harm or leave them open for lawsuit.

Just bought a few pieces of PVC and attachments...grabbed some Blue Indicating Silicagel Beads....need to add one more piece tomorrow after this part dries... Going to build a cage for it, in case I have a failure...don't want a piece of plastic shrapnel ruining my day... Figured this was the cheapest way to go on running my plasma cutter... I have a harbor freight drying setup that I want to upgrade from.
