    Very nice Vaughn. The pattern you got inside versus outside makes me think that you hammered from the outside onto something with that pattern on the inside?

    Shamus, did you ever check out Gillespie coal yard in Fayette City? No bagged coal but it was around $80. A ton for bituminous coal. He should be open again soon or now. His usual customers are home heating type but I was talking with him about blacksmithing last time I was there and he seemed interested. Nice guy.

    If you make a stand, I would hope you make it suiting to the look of the anvil. Someone cared enough to atleast try to fix that anvil. It's great that it atleast get some use however many years later.

    Nice. I have full faith that you could restore it. I think it has a lot of character tho. But myself having two good complete anvils and a twisted sense of tastes in character, in the end it's yours to deal with

    Glad to see that your giving Frankenstein's monster some new life

    No lesson like the one of putting too many irons in the fire. ( I guess it all depends on skill and what your doing and fire control.) Im guilty of getting distracted just long enough to burn up hours worth of work. I really need to quit learning that lesson. Tho I re-learn it less often now.

    Think you'll be wanting bigger holes in the tuyere, and a T at the air inlet pipe so you'll have an ash dump. Think of a T on its side. the bottom part can have a flapper or lid to keep air from escaping when you arnt dumping ash.

    why not build both.

    That anvil might have been owned by Dr. Frankenstein.

    Daswulf replied to Gorō's topic in Vises

    umm.... Pictures might help. is it a post vise or machinest vise? are the threads on the screw good? Is it all there?

    I'd go with #2. I like versatility.

    Looks like a dragon head to me, and the cube twist adds to the effect. Nice work Nick.

    Search for "Another Rail Road Iron Anvil" it's a post by Charles Stevens. He made an excellent versatile anvil from one. link... http://www.iforgeiron.com/topic/42290-another-rail-road-iron-anvil/#comment-433693

    Glad you found some pictures! I had a great time. Would have been better if it was a week long. I also really liked getting to forge using the double lung bellows.

    Very cool. I've never seen egg sculpture like that. Keep up the great work.
  20. Daswulf
    Nice knives Theo. interesting idea but why egg shell? Hmm.. How about green egg shells? Some of my chickens lay green eggs. another idea could be sea shell bits. Those would look awesome in there if some of the ridges and stuff showed. Cool idea. I'm curious if this stems back from a thread I saw that was about possibly incorporating loved ones ashes into handle material.

    Nice work Heap. Spine and patern look great. Glad your doing well selling at the market.

    I've been hobby forging for around 2 1/2 years now and wanted to build a brick and mortar forge like Jeremys at first. glad I didnt because I'm still not exactly sure where I'd ultimately want it in my shop.
  23. Daswulf
    Nice work Aus! Neat idea for the gumnuts. A forge darken finish might have been a little better but you can still see the detail in the leaves well. Great idea.
  24. Daswulf
    If it's metal and I find it could be useful I'm not one to feel guilty about free for checking the rebound drop a ball bearing or smaller hammer on the face from about a foot and see how high it comes back to where you dropped it from. Gauge it as a percentage. More rebound the better but hey, as long as it isn't cast iron it's not a big deal. get forging on it and enjoy your new tool.
  25. Daswulf
    Looks like a nice anvil. How is the rebound? If you want see the lettering better try wire brushing it. If it were mine and it had good rebound i wouldn't care what brand it is. I dig the patina. Wow someone even radius end the edges nicely. Awesome freebie.
