hi j are you happy with the peddinghaus? we are looking to put another anvil in our shop and were looking at the 12.

thanks doug

hi jlp is your anvil a peddinghaus?

they were used by telephone linemen for some purpose . I have 2 of them and they are stamped BELL SYSTEMS.

its a tomahawk chipping hammer for welding .

C.J. was the starting mat stock on your copper leaves?

Hi Dave , Railings and gates is a large majority of our shops work and we use a spray made by  walthers that we buy by the gallon and put it in spray bottles .a fine mist around all the weld joints makes the cleanup of the little tiny spatter almost effortless they basically fall off .

latticino     I am going to join when I attend a meeting next month .

thank you for your help it is much appreciated .i see your in upstate ny too .are you getting snow ?

thank you doug

appreciate the reply but I do have a dumb question .how do I find the critical temp ?  pardon my ignorance but im very new to this .

thank you doug

it is for my guillotine tool which the fuller bar is just 1018 and am trying to slow the strike point down from mushrooming .

thanks doug

can anyone give me the proper procedure to anneal a store bought hammer to use on my  fuller tool?

thank you doug

ok thank you for the definition .

doug

I might sound dumb but what does TPAAAT mean ?

Those vice grips can also be used for round tube or pipe when joining with a butt joint .we use them a lot like that in our fab shop .

doug

that anvil looks just like one that's on craigslist in Albany n.y.

we got our Holland swage block the other day and want say very nice .great job guys .

doug

how much do you think you will be selling the new block and mandrel for?

doug

Thanks guys for the replies much appreciated .I decided to leave the old girl the way she is and has been for the last 50 something years that I have been with it in our family business .The reason I did not reply all week as I have been away on a road job and did not have the means to reply .

thanks doug

hi glenn thanks for the reply .we have had this anvil and some others since 1960 and would just like to have a good large flat surface .we have 2 other smaller hay buddens in the shop too .we do mainly decorative iron in our business .

doug

hi guys we have a 288lb hay budden in the shop that has about a .100 sway in a 3 in long area of the top surface . The anvil came from a horse and carriage building shop from the early 1900's in N.J. what are some thoughts on having it Blanchard ground to be true .We work with them and not a collector .

thanks  doug
