    I have to ask, with such a small forge why not take it inside after it cools down to keep it out of the weather.

    I would not use Portland cement due to the fact it will gall and explode in a forge or foundry.

    Yesterday at our BOA meeting, I hammered out a knife blank from an old buggy spring. A Viking Seax, blade is 6 inches and OAL 11 inches. Need to grind, quench & temper then scales. Knowing me it will be a while before it's finished.

    Welcome to IFI... I always suggest this thread to get the best out of the forum. READ THIS FIRST Your Hay Budden looks to be in excellent shape and ready to go to work. Hope you have read about not doing any grinding, milling or welding on the hardened face. There should be a serial number on the foot under the horn, with it someone who has a copy of AIA (Anvils in America) can give you an idea of when she was made.

    I second the Vulcan ID, although most I have seen do not have such a sharp point on the horn but that could be they have been hammered flat.

    You might look through this Sears catalog, I think the forges start around page 517 or so, probably see a forge like yours. https://ia800302.us.archive.org/4/items/catalogueno11200sear/catalogueno11200sear_bw.pdf

    I found that out when drawing out a set of reins of an old pair of tongs, fixed it with a higher heat (welding) to get the ends to stick back together.

    The rule of wrist is what's meant by you have to sleep sometime.
  19. Irondragon Forge ClayWorks
    No, in my case that would be the rule of you have to sleep sometime.
  20. Irondragon Forge ClayWorks
    Then we have the "Rule of thumb" try applying that in today's world.

    Good looking post drill and at $20 you got a bargain. The pawl should be adjustable to advance the drill 1,2 or 3 clicks at a time. It looks a lot like a Western Chief by Canedy Otto.
