I often see these forklift gas bottles in scrapyards but I haven't really thought of a good use for them?

Now you have a new quest when dumpster diving, swap meeting, and antiquing---finding twist drills with square shanks to match the socket. I assume there was some sort of adapter to round shank drills available but where's the fun in that?
could you not just forge the end square?

If you brought it from a guy in London it must be a London pattern anvil
oh well at least you have one
look forward to seeing what you make on it

Hi Fergy, the mixer you have listed is not big enough for a shp3 (48 x 12) or a shp4 (48 x 15) it is rated at 420 MJ/hr. they need a high flow (574) oxy/lpg oxy/natural gas mixer rated at 840 MJ/hr.
cheers yahoo
No it's not my bad
looked like the one I was lookin at before that one and I linked the wrong one
the other heater I have is LPG ONLY and 100 mm in diameter the handle tube comes down and does 5-6 wraps of the shroud before going into the rear of the shroud
if someone could link me to one of them I would be gratefull I need another but cannot remember where I got it from

your tips
your hose
your reg
the tube
superheating tip
mixer for heating
there you go your all set
same again ebay adds for pics only don't care if it disappears but please wait till after ausfire has seen the post
-
I also have heating tips for my cutting head
-
All buffalo forges ?
-
Cut it up
heat it up
bash it up
then you tell us all if it can
can't imagine why not
but I have been wrong before

Nothing wrong with old man ways ausfire we need someone to learn from
im yet to find an app that will make a decent rail spike knife
you may be able to get a refund for the remaining months if you take your bottle back early
i can swap you bottle rental bills if you want
Hi Jim
-
its all I use ausfire
and its a bit like the tumbler hurry up and convert your OLD man ways
you need a LPG regulator should be around $100
and you need to use type 44 ? cutting tips
the LPG heating tips are also different
best bet is to buy a cheap Kit from flea bay
your 100 pound bottle of LPG should see you out even if it is half full
I use a 18 kg LPG bottle on the gas cutting kart and I get around 20 g size bottles to a LPG bottle
I profile cut 100 mm plate with LPG OXY as it gives a better cut than acet
we silver solder with oxy/LPG every week
Hydraulic fittings 6000PSI
I would get this
to swap a ACET bottle will cost you $160
and your yearly rent is costing you $190
so its the same cost as a ACET bottle but you only pay once
AND if you run out of LPG on the weekend there is probably 20 BBQ bottles in a 500m radius you could liberate
(Link shown for ausfire to see I have nothing to do with them if you don't like it there delete it )
-
Soo you just drive over it and tie it to the tail shaft right?
-
Please do tell why LPG is not good enough
Oh and 15 dollars a month bottle rental for a g size
and costs me $110 to exchange a g size argoshield
-
That is a beautiful knife
awesome blog spot too

If I was on a camper trailer forum I frequent someone would have replied by now 6MMB&S but im not and I don't really know but I can tell you I have a 60 amp feed running into my workshop and I can run 4welders and a air compressor at once. But we run different voltages here so anything I say won't mean jack.
Sorry I can't help I'm just a boily
-
Hey ausfire
takes about an hour to get shiny and just get the burrs off
to take the edges off like the weld on the lifting lug about 4hours
i grew up in yarloop mate
lived there from when I was 7 to when I was 19
Lots of good people homeless but also great to see people getting behind then to get them back on there feet
-
just ducked out the back to take a photo for you ausfire
this shows the insides of the mixer with some parts in it
this is the media we use its just old holes
got a year out of it before I had to replace skin with 1/8 plate
could wrap some insulation around it because of the noise but I just put it out the door and insulated the door
the sooner you get one the better I should have had one years ago

maybe there it a hole under the bottle jack that someone drifted with hand tools?
maybe its cheese and the coloring is mould?
who knows im sure if it goes cheep enough you will buy it and if it turns out to be cast iron it will make a good bookend
how far from home is it?
is that a PW under the table?
-
ok will check
can do it with a file right?
-
have your hammer a little softer?
so like temper my hammer?
or are they likely to be softer anyways ?
-
cheers Doc

Well seeing that this has not progressed far I have today ordered an anvil
it is to be a 130 kg dobbie cast 8630?
in a London pattern
any thoughts welcome
they have asked what hardness I would like it. Now I know enough about hardness to know I don't want It as hard as ####
but how hard do I want it ?
