    Im my repair shop I use kroil with a lot of success, it’s supposed to penetrate to a millionth of an inch, I dunno if it really does or not but I can say it works, I’ve even used it to remove broken an heat seized manifold bolts from old tractors,

  3. TWISTEDWILLOW

    Mail call, I just got my new Picard bumping hammer, it’s 1.41 pounds, I tried a pair of their wolf jaw tongs an i really liked them so I looked at a lot of other tools Picard offers and i saw this and thought it’d be fun to try it out with the sleigh bells in the dishing block,

    You could blow em all up in a pile an then set me on fire with that fan fueling it!
  9. TWISTEDWILLOW

    Here’s a few I got settin around, one finished and a couple started on, Ive made a few here an there for other people too there actually kinda handy for a portable kit cause they are so light, they are really durable easy to make, an customize, you can make em to where to legs are solid welded or to where they are detachable,

    That won’t be here till next spring Thomas, don’t have tornadoes in peavine during the winter months Sheesh, I’ve only lost my shop roof one time… you act like that’s a regular occurrence round here,

    I’m a little outta date, The last Trenton I bought was six years ago, it was 176 pounds an had crisp edges I gave $300 which was fair then, prices have risen since then, I’d say you would be fair At $3.50 to $4.00 a pound for a Trenton in that condition, if it has good rebound an ring but I don’t know your local goin rates thats based off of here

    Jennifer, thanks for explaining that to me, I guess those competitions are way outta my pay grade, im happy if I can forge a somewhat functional copy of something I see on here IFI or YT or in a book, lol sounds like I’d get chewed up an spit out if I ever tried to compete in one of those! Now if they had a competition for findin an fixin rusty junky ol blowers id give ‘em a run for their money!!!

    actually I’ve never seen Forged in fire either, the only things I know about it is stuff I’ve heard y’all talk about on here

    Jennifer, Ive never seen a blacksmith competition in person, are they timed? How do they choose the winner? Do the judges vote on which piece they think is the best? im no expert but your projects look just like the pictures to me, I don’t understand how you didn’t win?
  19. TWISTEDWILLOW
