I’m sorry she got hurt but I’m glad she’s feeling better, I can hear the thunder from y’all’s direction and it looks pretty dark in the sky over yalls way too! hopefully it just grumbles a little an give y’all’s some rain with no high winds, I don’t know about you but I hate waking up in the mornin to be greeted with 2 hrs worth of cleaning up storm debris lol

Thomas, Good grief what was in that water? I bet the EPA would like to take a test sample or too!

I’ll let ya know! When I do the next one, Your welcome over here any time, if your in salisaw visitating kinfolk swing on up, I’m only about 30 minutes north of there!

Or maybe it’s cursed!!! curse of the wershrew! Beware the bite John!!!

Nice haul Lee Justice! i had a mail call this morning, got in my sleigh bell blanks from stony point forge, and some odds and ends from kens custom iron,

I came across a thread talking about Morgan anvils and I cruised on over to their website to take a look, I knew the made all kinda bench vises but didn’t know they made a couple sizes of steel post vises, there wasn’t a picture of them on their sight, I was wondering if anyone here had one or has used one and if anyone had a picture of one? i tried googling the part numbers for their post vises but nothing turned up, no pictures and I couldn’t find them for sale anywhere

Looks pretty slick to me! I like the blue part!

Thanks Jobtiel1, I dunno if it bounces or not, I ain’t used it yet, im gonna break it in soon with some sleigh bell blanks I’ve ordered, I’ll definitely report back an let ya know how it acts up on the forge gettin used! shovels is an interesting idea for that curl, I didn’t think of that,

Howdy from eastern Oklahoma and welcome to the forum! where bouts in north Louisiana are ya? I got kinfolk down in homer i don’t have much experience with peddinghaus anvils but it looks pretty slick to me for under $4 bucks a pound!

Since I built sand stands I’ve found I like my anvil face higher at least wrist high maybe a bit more,

Lol, DHarris, you must’ve forgotten, I had let ya know about it but I think you had a business trip or something goin on the same weekend so you weren’t able to make it, but to answer your question about 2023 yes I’ll host again if the BOA folks would like me too, I think there might be more people at the next one, several people have expressed interest in attending if I host again,

The spoon swages will probably be next to get cleaned up, can’t wait to try them out, im not sure what a French curl is or what it’s used for but it did go ahead an clean it up since it was relatively easy too,

I like it Randy!

That’s Beautiful Aric!

Looks pretty sweet Randy! I hope I draw your name!

I’d just grind one flat side for the set screw to lock into,

For the bearings on both sides I would use something factory made that’s easy to find Incase you need to replace them in the future, and I would make sure it has very low resistance so you don’t over work yourself trying to turn it,

I figured she might take it after you said she’d been usin a plastic one! Lol

Yes I’m gonna dress all the edges on the block, I’ll have to order something smaller to fit down in some of them, but for now I got the dish as smooth as glass so I can use that part

Awesome!!! All Your work is beautiful! i cant wait to see your piece! Alright Jerry let’s see an Eskimo shiv! Thomas, i thought rusty barbwire made better shivs then tooth brushes

Remember the rules, it must have at least some forged component no Matter what material you use! Jennifer, are ya gonna join in on the fun? I’d love to see what you’d come up with! BillyBones, that looks amazing! I really like the brass ball! That’s a nice touch and a cool idea! Are ya gonna give it to your wife to use or you gonna keep it for yourself? lol

I got the bowl shape ground down with a die grinder an a stone, then I used a fiber grinding wheel to polish it up nice an smooth,

That’s what I do! They bring ‘em to me an I trade their weedeaters back to them for money! Scott, don’t get me started! Lol

Come up here to the shop an I’ll give ya a hundred pounds of leaf springs!

yeah I saw that too when I was in my messy shop, so I moved outside to the smithy to take the picture, figured y’all would rather see a tree in the background then five million different colors of weed eaters lol
