Irondragon Forge ClayWorks

Or just forge one, that's what I did.

Not only will the dolly be unstable, it will be a trip hazard. A hand truck makes easy work for moving heavy anvils and other stuff in the shop then getting out of the way..

Does that mean you are jumping from the crying pan into the fire.

On the other hand with many pieces of equipment, like a Harley, if it isn't dripping a little oil, it's out of it.

Welcome to IFI... I suggest reading this to get the best out of the forum. READ THIS FIRST The Devil forges are pretty good one's, might scroll down a couple lines to a thread about them, then the one about purchase advice.

Dies are pretty easy to make. Great find, lube it up and put it to work. Looks like an Oliver A5 hammer, didn't know Oliver made power hammers.

Hey it's early and I'm only on my first cup of coffee.

A good looking PW and not so much a little guy if I read the stone weight right 1.0.10 it was 120 pounds when made . I hope you have read about not grinding, milling or welding on the hardened face. You might also want to reduce the size of pictures posted to save bandwidth for those who are still on dial-up internet.

We won't remember that once leaving this post, hence the suggestion to edit your profile to show it, also the guide line to posting large pictures. A good looking A&H, have you read about not grinding, milling or welding on the hardened face?

It's on page 10-11 in the first volume.

Russell has the Colonial anvil and Dave has the Fisher.... I'm so confused.

We are getting two posters mixed up....

Russell, Frosty was answering Dave. Yours is not a Fisher.

It would be a great beginner, Around my area it would go for about $2.00-4.00 a pound. What does it weigh? Anvils aren't considered old until they have a couple of centuries under their belts.

She looks like she is ready to go to work. BTW: Welcome to IFI Have you read this yet? READ THIS FIRST It will help getting the best out of the forum and explain about reducing the size of pictures to save bandwidth.

Not a filter but wood stoves have a catalytic converter in the stack/chimney that burns off emissions like creosote, smoke, CO2 from wood fires, pretty expensive though.

The best way to clean an anvil is with a wire wheel on an angle grinder. then wipe it with some BLO to protect it from rusting further. At least that's what I do. Others use electrolysis. Once it's cleaned there may be some maker or other identifying info revealed. Without that it will be difficult to ID it. To me it looks possibly a Colonial anvil (time period not maker). More pictures from every angle will also help. Have you read about not grinding, milling, or welding on the hardened face?

The History Channel has three possible reasons why the South was/is called Dixie. I'm thinking the Mason-Dixon line is still in the running. https://www.history.com/news/why-is-the-south-known-as-dixie

I'm sorry, I thought the topic was about eliminating the smoke. The best way to do that is not produce it in the first place. I don't think maintaining a wood fire in the stack would do much good. How high is the stack? Probably raising it would work better.

It's easy, after you post the picture double click on it and a popup box appears that will let you resize it. BTW your Vulcan looks to be in good shape, I would hang on to it and use it for some operations that it may be better suited for than the Kanga, like the step.

From my time in the USCG as an Engineman, I think the bolts marked CAT are from a Caterpillar. You might want to google caterpillar bolts.

Nice... You might want to resize the pictures you are going to post to something like 640x480 or better yet 500x375.
