Thanks, again very nice work!

Really nice, it would be great to see more detail on how you formed the brass. I really like that knife!

I am jealous, I wish there was a forge like that that I could hang out in, and interesting old gents like that to be around. Great little video. 

Great work !

Ok what is a tire upsetter? Something that puts the crown in the tire?

wood and pellet stove shops often have ceramic blanket refractory

Are those clics readers? I have had 3 pare of clic readers, I just got real rx glass but still wear the clics in the garage  

Looking at their website they do not come as readers to bad.

I want to make one off these. I like the design of this one. Did you use spring for the side columns?

It is a kiridashi , Japanese utility knife. Very nice. 

Here they are called a "Stiff Hitch"

My guess would be that fin is meant to go in a slot on the bench or stand to hold the vise from side to side in the front, two bolts hold it in the back. Just a guess...cool vise. 

Great forging ! Great video too!

I am going to try to go there too.

Hey, I recognize that guy! I was going to watch anyway but now it's a priority.  

You know I'm going to have real trouble not giving you grief about which way your anvil's pointed. Yes?

See you tomorrow evening.

What is the correct way to point it?

Looks great! Where are you in VT? I am in Bethlehem NH

Is a drill hammer the same as an engineer's hammer?

I most likely will join, seems a lot of stuff happens south of me but Fryburg is really close about an hour away. I seldom go into Mass.

The intruction as i remember states half the diameter of the inlet. It has a picture, too. For tuning you can start trimming from there. Do you have a picture of the current state of the burner? Also of the flames. What pressure are you running it at?

I made a new burner this weekend with the help of a friend that has a nice shop. This one was done on a lathe and is straight. I may still need to cut a little bit off the tip . . Seems much better, the other one was crooked. I will try to get pictures.  

Should the end of the mig tip be half the nipple diameter away from the end of the pipe nipple or in to the T that far? I am having trouble tuning. Lots of yellow flame in the forge.

Do you need to be a member to go? I am in Bethlehem NH about an hour from there.

Makes sense, here is another. looks like it was a target or something. Mine looks similar.

Picked up my first Trenton today and my first Columbian about the same size the day before. I just received my copy of AIA last week and all of a sudden anvils popping up all over the place. Along with the Trenton for sale was a 150lb PW and 235 Fisher all in good condition.

 

Ok I see lots of anvils including the one I just bought with many off these round dents in the side. what are they from and why would someone bang them in?

Looks to have many years of condensation rusting on the face, cost  $3 .15 a pound, not bad in your area.  Check rebound---with that face it may need to be a hammer test rather than the ball bearing test. Also check for the ring.  It should ring nicely, dull or missing ring on a Peter Wright means hidden trouble (if it hasn't been fastened down to kill the ring!)

If you will be using it, I'd advise yes if it passes the test.  Note that if it is for sale on an open forum it may sell *fast*.

Great info thanks.
