    The farriers Ive come across take them with them. Apparently people try to re-shoe the horse themselves suing old shoes.. Idiots

    im using a hairdryer just now but that was to good a price to resist.. free to a good home. Ill vent some of the air when its running and see how it goes might just end up as an ornament if its to powerful

    I finally found a blower for my forge. If it works. Its a 16 amp blower though and looks like it needs a good clean out as it has grass in it. I got it from the bouncy castle guys at our last bike rally. It looks like this one in the pic

    Sorry if this one has been said before If so I missed it when reading through. Do NOT catch the hot metal with your bare hands.. it hurts muchly

    Ive just read this and now im a bit paranoid. When i was younger i worked in a steel mill and part of the job was cutting galvi sheet steel and making various little slots and slits. I used to come home dirtier that an dirty thing on a dirty things dirty day. Should i be worried. this was 30 years back though.

    They put a 3 legged clamp around one of your front wheels so you cant drive the car and you have to pay to get them removed. they also have a thick plate cover over the wheel nuts so you cant just swap over the wheel. small geni and a decent grinder takes ages to remove one ( so Ive been told)

    Frosty Maybe it would be an idea to ask metalmangler to make a tongs forging video? Perhaps a whole new section to the site of How To Videos??

    Haha and to think I complain of the heat. when it gets to about 24C (about 75F) I start to hide. No idea how you guys can handle the heat.

    rpg? I still play pathfinder at times with a few guys. and were all supposed to be hardened bikers. I'm up for the Traveller game. From what I remember though you go through a lot of characters..

    Hmm. King pins I have 7 or so. Picked up a tiebar ( the rod that connects to the track rod ends on the axle is this what you mean by axle? Sorry for jumping in just thought this was a good place to ask.

    I live in a town in a ground floor flat but I have the garden. I dont care what my neighbours think. They party during the week regularly and dont give my boy trying to sleep a thought. So im more than happy to go out in the morning ona day off and beat steel. My anvil sits on pallets so the sound can resonate a little but its the right height for me. When I move home itll be a different story and ill sound proof the anvil.

    Got the 40mm square bar. The idea is it should fit the hardy. One problem. I didn't realise how long 2meters is. For a noob like me. Its huge. So lots of stock now. Buying no more for a while.

    I spoke to steve sells a few days about a book.

    ordered a new book today. New Edge of the Anvil: A Resource Book for the Blacksmith Andrews, Jack

    ​Thats a handy thing to know Alan. I can buy steel to be imported here without a cutting charge. But knowing that might save me a few quid back in the UK.
  24. Stephen Jones
    Ive had a good look through that but I prefer a book in my hands to a screen when it comes to reading.
