Break it down and sell it off as parts but be sure that is ok with owner first

Haven't been on here for a while Joel ? forbidden is Glenn's latest tool to control bandwidth ;-) no it seems to be a quirk that was introduced with one of the recent upgrades what it normally means is that you missed out on a indepth and informative reply when the software disappeared the reply and instead told the poster that he/she has been forbidden the poster will try to reply but doesn't allways work so they type forbidden poster will usually go in later and change reply or start a new thread with forbidden in the title that the admins then manually merge with the thread (sucks to be you guys but keep up the good work) We have gas shops over here that usually have a small range of odd fittings. There normal business is selling bottled gass if that doesn't work like the others said try a hydraulic shop or a gas fitters wholesaler fergy

So devastated john i watched your vid and then clicked on your youtub profile to see more of your videos thinking I would watch them all and there was only two please can you upload more it was a pleasure to watch someone work so efficient and smart that is also a well proportioned stylish bottle opener you make there fergy

Thanks Alan that was a very interesting read im sure a lot of people will gain knowledge from that post a lot of people would have shrugged there shoulders and ignored the OP and not bothered helping but you have replied with a post that should not only help the OP but also anyone else interested one day I will build a gas forge and it will be you and Crusty I ask for advice fergy

First attempt , thin drums, rusty steel,paint layer, stick welder and they hold well done you have along way to go but as a first go with the conditions you have there you done well to get it that good without blowing through of course next time stack the odds in your favour grind the crud off but try not to thin the already thin drums as said concentrate the heat on the thicker material Fergy

Most I could offer is AU $1400 landed

have an awesome marri coffee table at home wife seems to like the commercial stuff that can be brought at hardly normal and the like which I don't care for looking to take advantage of jarrah for charcoal ;-) but around these parts (Wine region) people all seem to be into anything made of old wine barrels witch is a shame because there is so much better timber around to put in your house

Very nice I like the way that you used the blemish in the slab as a feature

Back of a chimney ? dous look to be a cover of some sort and fit for the job

in that case I can sell you forged bars of unobtainium unobtainium is stronger than hellium, and lighter than airium im not sure if this would work for you but I'm sure unaffordium would do the job you need to do I have some drops out the back of beyond if you need I can measure them

Hi frosty FPT and MPT I have never come across before in aus im thinking they are like NPT and BSPT is this correct ? fergy

best line ever

Probably try to make a swage block out of the 100 mm plate later have to ID the large chunk first

Maybe the topic is a bit of a lie as I have now acquired a block of what I am told is carbon steel the block is 770mm x 660mm x 280mm thick I'm told that it is a billet from the westrail workshops it should get delivered here Friday pics to follow

We'll I dare say you learnt what you set out to that is great work one day I hope to do the same does it work the blade looks like it is at the end of adjustment? nice pinkbit

Would scraping the unburnt coal away from the coke and then putting a empty upturned steel bucket/drum over the fire pot area work ? I know you would need a largish steel bucket but I would think that the smoke would accumulate and choke the fire but if you are in a high fire danger area or a timber shop witch seems the norm do what glen does and sleep safe fergy

They look great there is no reason anyone would not be happy with that set except maybe the dragon he only got one wing gunna be a circle bird that one but in all seriousness that is one very nice set fergy

Looks great I would have used a pipe bender myself Use the largest die that fits and spread the rollers to there maximum opening I have bent 33mm solid bar ( was a better grade than 1045 but can't quite remember what ) using the exact same bender in this vid https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=f41K8qrKwBM fergy

Yes Charles I seen that page only last week that was the moment I decided I would make my own anvil the guru has some good plans on making an anvil but have not seen a completed one on there like his plans i will get the priceless holes drilled at the profile cutters and a 60 mm hole drilled for my hardy. I will then cut and shape some 60mm bar and then weld together and weld into anvil top top is going to cost $260au 200x900x60mm bis 80 cut and chamfered and drilled fergy

Yeah we normally do heavy fab and stuff this sort of thing

was welded onto the side of an old rubber tire roller as ballast

Welcome aboard glad to have you! If you'll put your general location in the header you might be surprised how many of the IFI gang live within visiting distance.

ForbiddenYou don't have permission to access /topic/43359-this-will-be-my-new-anvil/ on this server. will turn a horn because then the apprentice gets some lathe time

We'll searching for a new anvil is australia is slow and boring work so today I pulled out a piece of steel that was left over from a job three years ago my plan is to use this as the base of my anvil maybe just trim it a bit and weld a lop plate on or cat two ASO,s and weld them together and then weld top plate on top plate will be 50or60mm bis alloy 80 this will be cut to resemble a face and German style pointy horn I will then turn a horn from 4140 or something and weld it to the other end I plan on a few prickle holes and a hardy hole will end up looking something like uri,s anvils fergy 1300mm x800 mm and100 mm thick has an eight missing

hey ky if 1" layers are ok then how good would 4" layers be? the layered plate idea seems ok but 1" seems abit on the light side to me maybe you could use a thick top plate and then some 2"-4" layers welded up under that have seen a hammer where big round bar was used and then they welded 2" square billets to the sides to increase mass not sure about that theory either are you buying your anvil material or looking to find it? as that will have a big impact on what you could use
