    Gives you a starting place and that's the best way. Most hardware and auto parts stores have a thread gauges to check it with.

    Most grocery stores also have bulletin boards. Have any bowling alley's near you, another place to leave word. Our bowling alley has a restaurant with it that has a "liars table" where all the "good old boys" sit. Drop the word there too.

    Just looking at the picture the threads look like SAE fine threads, unless they are metric. Measure the # of threads in an inch for the TPI.

    Welcome to IFI, have you read this yet? READ THIS FIRST That is an anvil home made from RR Track. Not worth much as it's not suited to forging other than very light work. Anything over $5.00 U.S. would be too much to me.

    You really should have both for working on knives.

    There are several threads about that forge. Here is one and I'll look for the other I know of. https://www.iforgeiron.com/topic/62360-pro-forge-200/ The other one I found was the thread about it you started back in May.???? Did you do all that was suggested in that thread?

    The movie was Flubber, it was Robin Williams. A remake by Disney. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flubber_(film)

    We like ours at about chest high. That way you are not tempted to stare into it which is not good for the eyes, unless using IR glasses which change the color of the work. Standing back several steps the chamber is visible at a quick glance. I find it easier to retrieve the small stock at that height.

    That was/is a great movie. The Absent Minded Professor. The remake Flubber didn't live up to it.

    Actually I used the broken handle on another hammer with a smaller eye. Now I have 2 hammers with a connection to my grandfather.

    I'm not usually an emotional person but when I saw that chip & crack it brought tears to my eyes. I had the same response when the handle on my favorite cross peen that was handed down to me by my grandfather broke & had to be replaced. BTW... just sent you a PM. Randy

    That is absolutely stunning. Это абсолютно потрясающе.

    Never hit your grandma with a shovel, it leaves a bad impression on her mind. A spike Jones classic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpdMOG7tjtE

    Ok I was not aware that Trenton used a prefix A in their serial numbers. However after rereading the original post his Acme also has an A prefix. The next question is did Trenton prefix an A for all Acme anvils?
  16. Irondragon Forge ClayWorks
    I'm seeing the serial number as A11295 if so was it made by Hay Budden not Trenton.

    Depending upon the cost, it will do what you propose.

    I agree with Frosty about threading stress proof rod, less chance of it stretching.

    We are still using clay because we have hundreds of pounds of different kinds left over from our pottery days. It vitrifies well and can be replaced when a different configuration is wanted.

    Yep, they were busy as bees...groan.
  21. Irondragon Forge ClayWorks
    Hope the bee keeper left you some of the bees wax. Lucky they didn't short out your well control.

    Looks like a cast iron Chinese ASO with a fake top plate cast in. Knowing where in the world you are located would help. Have you read this yet? READ THIS FIRST

    One of my favorite sayings by Einstien goes something like this. "If we knew what we were doing, it wouldn't be considered research".

    Thanks for the link to Engineering Tool box, got it bookmarked. I learned long ago there is no sense memorizing something that is in a ready reference.

    Had to run out and measure them. The side showing is 2 inches & counter sunk to a round 1 1/16 hole.
