    So I made my first pair of tongs so I don't have to use my Chanel-locks anymore. Used half inch rebar, not perfect but I think they will work for what I'm doing

    I think it is 4340 steel, or 300m aalloy. Not sure what all that means

    so yesterday i had the idea of making a connecting rode from a Subaru into a billet that i can work into something later but could not get the end that attaches to the crankshaft to fuse to itself ( have to weld it to itself due to is being in the shape of a C). i did not use flux, mainly because i do not know what to use for flux. any ideas on how i can do it without flux? is it even possible?

    So I posted a while back asking about anvils and got a lot of helpful feed back and this is what I ended up being able to make. It is two 14" chunks of trolley track welded to itself to give more it more meat. I know it is not ideal but it worked OK once I got it held down

    I used pine bark and it seemed to work nicely, it got plenty hot to work a railroad spike and didn't just turn to ash super fast. What do you guys think about it?

    yea i found a group that sell coal and ship it to local areas for pickup, the NWBA, not a bad deal i think, 50 pounds for 35 dollars
  23. Jack Underwood
    Thank you for the help and suggestions it is much appreciated
  24. Jack Underwood
    Any time I tried to find it on google it just led me to eBay, and frankly the bitabus coal on eBay for like 100 pounds for 100 dollars and free shipping didn't look to bad but would like to help my local economy
  25. Jack Underwood
    Will deffinatly look into buildings that are being torn down or remodeled, and I am in Washington state, is there a reliable source of coal relatively inexpensive?
