MOD NOTE: Both the original discussion and the recent comments are right on the edge of violating IFI's rule prohibiting discussion of politics and religion. Stick to discussion of the object and how it was forged, or this thread will be locked. Thank you.

Added Lyon Blade & Anvil

MOD NOTE: The legality of various forms of representation and display of the American flag is a legitimate subject for discussion on IFI. Political commentary is not, per the IFI Terms of Service. The comment that violated this policy has been removed, as have the comments that followed from it.

Added William Barnhart and Alec Steele, both made in the USA.

Mod note: fixed it. If anyone has this problem in the future, they can click the link to report the comment to the mods and request an edit.

Done.

Mod note: I've edited the list to include the suggestions above as well as a couple of others and done some formatting work.

Political content has been removed from this thread, per the TOS.

In a comment now moved to a separate thread, jlpservicesinc replied "It's all good.. most but not all springs are 5160."

Mod note: discussion of the effectiveness of treatments is appropriate to IFI. Discussion of the politics of the regulation of treatments is not. Thank you.

Mod note: Jon Kerr's reply to the above comment has been split into its own thread for further discussion.

Photos resized as a courtesy. Please do this yourself in future; if you are uploading from a phone and cannot resize them yourself in the half hour editing window, click "report post" in the upper right corner and ask a mod to do it for you.

Mod note: the discussion of the effectiveness of JHCC's treadle hammer has been split into its own thread:

Let's just say that a doubled sibilant would have put him in violation of our language policy.

Mod note: Play nice, or this thread will locked.
