Irondragon Forge ClayWorks

Another way to make them.

Just our red neck abbreviation for "Chili Rellenos" my favorite is the meat & cheese.

Welcome aboard A quick look through this sub forum and you will have your answer. https://www.iforgeiron.com/forum/269-repairing-and-modification-to-anvils/

Looks like it has definitely been welded on then ground down with an angle grinder. I wouldn't waste my time on it, unless the price was about 20 cents per pound (scrap price around here).

Welcome aboard, if you were close to me, I could forge just about any type of hook to use between the snap hook & screw eye. Not knowing if you have the capability to forge or where in the world you are located it's hard to give a concise answer though. This may give you some ideas. Pictures of your hardware might help. https://www.flickr.com/photos/cloverdaleforge/sets/72157678651367780/

Oh ya my favorite too. Debi makes a good Chili Reno souffle, but nothing beats sitting down in our favorite Mexican restaurant with all the fixins. That's good news about the shot, so far we only have one couple we know that have had them (at the VA) and also no bad reactions.

The video will not run for me without spooling for a long time. Some still pictures of the forge and burner will help, the alignment of the mig tip, pressure regulator etc. How many cubic inches is the interior of the forge and what size burner? One thing I noticed is it looks like your insulating wool is not coated. If so it is a very serious health risk from fibers floating in the air. I'm sure the burner guys will be along to help.

Frosty, keep us posted on any side effects please. Debi and I are waiting for the shots to become available here.

Back in the late '80s early '90s the Polaris dealership would get them mounted to steel frames. Lots of good angle iron in them. I was able to get a lot of the frames, to cut up for forging/fabrication. Still have some out in the resource pile.

Both look to be top notch, good find.

Be sure to spritz some water to "butter" the bricks before applying the Plistex.

I would probably get it for the right price, if it passed the ring & rebound test. If someone used a torch to do all that heel damage, no telling what they may have done over the sweet spot.

Also using a monkey wrench like JHCC or Ford wrench, allows the added handle to be in a straight line with the jaws, instead of the angle when using a Crescent style wrench.

We usually call those clamps bands or banding. The stump does look quite short, so the higher stand should relieve some pressure on your back.

I'm also pretty sure the face has been milled, almost to the point it's nonexistent. It's a shame too because American Star anvils are usually very good, like Fishers.

I have made a few "fantasy" knives, didn't start out to make them, but that is what I wound up with never the less.

I'll speak to Data or Jordy aboard the Enterprise about that.

Yes go to Blacksmith Tooling/ Hand Hammers, there are two sticky's Store Bought Hammer Mods and Hammer Dressing and Cow Pies.

Also probably won't burn up the hair dryer as soon as hot.

We won't remember this once leaving this thread, hence the suggestion to edit your profile to show it. If that anvil was near me, I would grab it in a heart beat.

It looks like someone had welded up a little damage that's now broken loose making it worse. I agree with George N.M. take off the sharp spur. Then work around that small area.

My grandfather always said, you were given one mouth and two ears, so you should do twice as much listening as talking.

You're welcome. I couldn't help but notice some of your posts with quotes have been edited by a mod. I suggest reading this for an explanation. BTW, you only have 30 min in which to edit your posts. The quote feature

Yep... 1/16 or 0.0625 orifice is way too large. That is the size we use in our burners for the propane fired Kiln which is 100 times or so bigger than a forge. When we built our 340 cubic inch propane forge the burner had a 0.0625 orifice which gave us the same result you are having. With some experimenting using different size orifices, I settled with a 0.0360 one that works very well. I would say with your current size forge you will have to go smaller than that or increase the size of the forge.
