I should be at the march meeting. when is it?
-
My though is build a metal stand out of square tubing and us a smaller diameter tubing to go inside it to make it taller. I'm not sure how to make it shorter yet.
-
One of these days I will have all three. By the time I do have all three I'll have a space for all three
-
So do I but I always wake up with my back hurting. Haha

Well I have a 300lbs rail anvil I made that I use for long pieces that need straightening out. It's just to big for normal work. The only problem I have with getting this nimba anvil is that I'm going to have to wait until around June to get it. They have to finish making it and ship it up to alaska.
-
I have a large diameter pipe with 6x12 wooden center beam laying on it. I think it's about time to get something more stable.
-
I'm planning on building a full Metal stand for it.

After over a year at staring at the nimba anvils on the website. I put in an order today for a 120lbs titan! No more used anvils for me!
-
Awesome. Do we have a price yet? -
Well I looked through a lot of posts about the nimba. I couldn't find anything about the 120lbs titan.
-
I think with my tax return I'm going to buy a nimba titan. Has anyone used them? Any info would be great thanks.

I'm going to be up there the 21st. I've been really intrigued by the narb you built. But I don't think I'm going to beable to build on for my self so I'm thinking about buying one of Dudley Gibberson's but all of his are in btus so I'm not sure how big I would need.
-
I know that a 3/4in burner is good for about 350cui but how many btus are need to reach welding temp?
-
I had a picture of the key ring you posted a while back. I wanted to make different notations.
-
I took some non galvanized steel dryer vent hose that fits around the intake of my t burners and sits on the ground so the wind has no effect.
-
Well I know it's an anvil.

Thank you. Any idea how old it is? -
I got this anvil a few months ago. It's around 70lbs semi soft face 65-70% rebound it is a steel face. Had some problem uploading the pictures these were the only ones that would upload d'Or some reason. I'd like to know the maker of my anvil.

If your having problems with your slack tub freezing than you aren't quenching enough stock. Work faster!
-
I tired it out on a few different incense my fiancé has and it seems to be the perfect length. But it does need to be a bit longer. I'll see about doing a demo at the next meet. I'll need to find more flat stock and sharpen my chisel.
-
Made a incense burner thingy today. Out of 3/8in flat stock. I tried to make a feather but it ended up looking like a leaf. I hot cut the veins before I used a grinder with a cut off wheel to cut them out and widen them before I did the final work with a standard grinding wheel.

Bottle cap opener cracked

That's what I was thinking. Next time I need to forge a slitter. I'll post pictures some time tonight if.i get the chance. -
I tried making a bottle cap opener and as I was finishing up the drifting it cracked. I think it was because Idrilled out the hole than drifted the hole. The stock was bigger than the one that I made before.

Only suggestion is let the heat soak into it. And don't hit fast make every strike count. And keep the metal hot
