I have been in Germany for the last few weeks and went to the Koenigsbourg castle where the old forge is now the gift shop. And no, the 8” vise was not for sale haha. a whole bunch more photos to come when I return. The castle was amazing

My first real knife was made from bed frame. Quenched in oil and I must have done something right, it is sharp and holds an edge real well. It is with my camping gear and has seen some abuse_ still sharp.
-
Nice! I Really want one. I thought of trying to build one but between the time it would take and the quality of the manufactured ones I have been saving my change....
-
I broke a bell trying out a new spring fuller but it was working good beforehand…. then I broke a leaf twisting the stem…. I turned off the forge and took a 5” piece of old 2” copper pipe (14ga) and made some jaws for my post vice. They turned out good. Lots of fun :-)

Get well Lain. May peace be with you and your family John. Mental illness is no joke
-
Get well Sir. May peace and good health bestow you and your family. My son in law is a survivor. He had surgery and did a bit of chemo. That was 15 years ago and he is all good (in that regard) You only lose when you give up

I like the handle and the mounting holes in the feet, I wouldnt know what to do, move it or tie it down?
-
Looks good from here. Maybe flap disc the edges to clean it up but no, do not grind on the face.

I must have missed this one 5 years ago, but that stand is very inspiring indeed!
-
Nice nice work everyone, Really like the bending fork Billy - a lot. Cool swivel David. Beautiful spoon John Great stuff as always Alexandr, do you ever sleep? :-)

You may not need to anneal them if they are going right to the forge. I wouldnt harden them but would probably normalize them just for general purposes. Rasps can be high carbon steel and I would want to relax any forging stress just in case. A stress riser or cold shut could cause a crack or break down the road possibly. Have fun and send pictures :-)
-
Those are tough steel for sure. Use caution however, I put one in my gas forge and it turned a fuzzy yellow. Galvanized or some other coating...just saying.
-
Excellent ! Love the photos and the bick is perfect. Goods job :-)
-
Very nice Billy. They are gorgeous from here :-)
-
The small ones seem to go for a bit more per pound than shop sized ones. The Swedish anvils have a good reputation and yours looks in pretty good shape. I would think $250-350 would be appropriate around these parts.

Was very rainy but we were prepared. We saw a lot of damage and downed trees in between Lisbon and Porto, lots of people were without power in the central regions, was definitely the news of the land.
-
Sorry for the duplicates. I missed the edit window
-
Just got back from a trip to Lisbon and Porto. Not sure how historic this stuff is but there was way too much to look at. Had a great time and would highly recommend.
-
What are you using for oil? Have you cleaned it out real well? My little champion blower keeps on going and going without any weight, there is no provision for one. It could be friction with your big one. Just saying.

RIP Frosty, I consider you one of my mentors and you will be greatly missed.

Found while hiking an old rail bed. It was abandoned in 1903….not sure what I can do with it
-
How does the S7 hold up? My mild dies only get damaged on the struck end. I was thinking of welding some coil spring to strike on but that might just move the mushrooming to the bottom of the spring steel.
-
Interesting about the spring fullers. I want to make a spring butcher for the treadle hammer although the guillotine works well for me with the few I've tried.
-
Nice Chad. Im going to have to look into that shear
