Thanks to all for your input. Thomas Powers, thank you!. ..my compressor is always on for the paint shop, and feeds two 120 gallons tanks. Just basing a guess on air consumption based on how I set the regulators for the cutting torches, and being the business is paying to feed the air compressor. ... it has to be cheaper than burning oxygen in a forge. Also Mikey98118. Thanks to you as well. I would not be worried about the regulator issue. 15 years exprience in torching wreck damage off Locomotives, then fabricating and welding in new parts. I got the dumb mistakes out of the way early on. incidentally the railroad used the same regulators they always have with an adapter for the LP. They did that for nine years until somebody at home office figured out they could get regulators made for LP bottles. Sure hated to give up the acetylene. But some bonehead at corporate office said acetylene was unsafe. THANKS AGAIN TO ALL. I'M OFF TO THE INTERNET TO LOOK UP BURNER DESIGNS.

Hi y'all! I'm in the process of building a two burner gas forge from an old R12 freon tank. I am wanting to use two rosebud torch tips one a single-rail manifold to feed them from one of my older Harris torch handles. Two questions for you : 1. Do you think the bronze/brass rose bud tips will hold up to the heat if I recess them a little in black pipe? 2. I am wanting to use propane and compressed air through an old set of cutting torch regulators to run these, and save the cost of oxygen and acetylene. What ration would you set the regulators at?

My error.....the "C" in the triangle is on one side and a Raised letter "B" without triangle on the opposite side.

Excellent! Never gave thought to the idea of letter-grading/designation, as opposed to stamping wieght on it. Thank you!!!

I went to look at the 44 pound Columbian anvil yesterday. Rebound with a 1" ball bearing was outstanding, and created a loud, crisp ring just about everywhere on the face.. I stopped short of buying it until I could pick you guys brains for a moment. Why would the anvil have the classic Inverted triangle with the letter C on one side, and the same triangle with a B on the other side? Set off bells and whistles to hold off buying it until I could confirm that it's the real McCoy. Sorry to pound this issue into the ground guys, I just need advice.

I've just been offered a very nice 44# Columbian for $150.00. Only one small nick/chip on the close edge of the face. Can someone weigh in with their opinion on the brand itself, and if the price is right?

Thanks. Did not think to include the fact that I live in west central Indiana. I appreciate the speedy reply, but having read the quote about likening to a Vulcan, I'll be steering clear of it. Whats your opinions on a Wilkinson. There's one of those at the same place as the Southern Crescent.

hello all, Can anyone share knowlege about southern crescent anvils. I am particularly looking for info on: quality, composition or what it's made of, ring and rebound tendencies, Whats a good price range for a 160 pounder, and maybe a comparison to an HB or a PW. thanks in advance.....John
