  1. Chris is right. I've even picked up some axle steel from the land fill at the dump.
  2. The duckt tape thing works for that kind of blower too.
  3. C-1ToolSteel

    so proud of me

    I'm actually impressed with how wide you were able to get the rivet area. I make mine with 1/2", and still have to upset.
  4. Interested. Can u give me a full list of ingredients? I have allergies.
  5. Seek ye first the kingdom of the Lord and his righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you. I'm praying for you. Keep holding on brother! He is in control.
  6. If your using a hair dryer as a blower, try putting a little duck tape over part of intake to dampen the power.
  7. Welcome to the forum NHSmith! Sounds like you probably have regular mild steel. Should be fine to forge with. Have fun!
  8. There goes my bad habit of using should and shouldn't interchangeably again. Officer, how much is the ticket?
  9. That's a beast. How much did u pay for it?
  10. Things like BBQ forks are good to learn on. Forge welding is advanced. Especialy chainsaw blade damascus.
  11. Swayback isn't that uncommon. I would put my bet for HB.
  12. You should stamp it Hay Budden on one side and Harbor Freight on the other!
  13. Impressive! What kind of pocket watch is that?
  14. Any time. I have my own opinions, but it's YOUR anvil. Do what YOU want with it.
  15. Sorry for the misunderstanding Tc2. Of course I meant to make some armor for you.
  16. Don't un-patina it and then waste wd40 to keep it from rusting. It took many years to get that patina. That's different than rust. Rust is on the surface. A good patina will keep it from rusting if you leave it on.
  17. If you wire brush it, don't brush away the patina. Brush just enough to shine it up a little. The best way to clean it is to forge on it.
  18. Thanks JT! I tried to have a 200 pounder shipped to me by UPS, and the guy said it would be $690! He also said an anvil is like the awesomest thing you can buy!
  19. Sweet deal!!! Hay Buddens are America's deluxe anvil. You've definetly got a lion!
  20. Maybe a leaf key ring? Don't spend too much time on her until you know your ready to make a gold ring.
