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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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
