    Thank you BillyBones. 135lb when new C&A Mousehole. She's my most used anvil and my favorite to forge on

    They sell both cast iron and cast steel anvils. Make sure to get the cast steel. It would be a huge upgrade to your harbor freight anvil. Yes they do need a little clean up. I just picked up the 66lber on a cyber Monday deal because we all need more anvils

    Daswulf yes that's the same understanding I have on the age as well. If not online sooner I hope maybe to find something that will work at quadstate next year. If not I'll enjoy looking at it and showing it off. It only cost me a 20 dollar bill at my local flea market

    Thank you Frosty. I don't know much about Lord of the rings but my son's a big fan and even named his puppy Gimli. The tennon style mount just refers to the way the mount is attached to the vise. It goes thru both jaws and the spring, held in with a wedge. Here's a better picture showing that.

    Hoping one of you fine people might recognize the makers mark on this tennon style mount bench vise I recently found. Looks like PW with 7 stars but I have been unable to find anything on it. Unfortunately missing the screw and screw box but I couldn't leave it. I know I will probably never know but these things keep me up at night. Thanks yall

    Can you see any dots between the weight stamp? (1.1.17). Mouseholes are also known for a ridge on the underside of the horn. I couldn't tell from your pictures.

    Nice big coil of 5/8 spring steel.

    Beautiful anvil loneronin. Grabbed this 112 lb nc tool calvary anvil with stand, a few hardy tools and a portable bandsaw with a few extra blades. Got the anvil for my son to use but dont think I wont use it. I love my mousehole and will continue to be my main anvil but the thinner heel on the new anvil will come in handy along with the turning cams and a nice square hardy. My mousehole also doesn't have a pritchel hole.

    Figured I'd post it in this thread too.

    Love the knitting bowl JHCC. How much stock did it take to make that. I finally got around to trying a horse head opener. Fairly satisfied with my first attempt.

    Thanks. A buddy of mine hooked me up with a bucket full of scrap 5"x3"x1/4" stainless plate. They work out perfect for flower bases.

    Like those scissors Frazer. I thought I'd attempt an Easter lily with the holiday coming up. Happy with the outcome for first attempt.

    Pnut I was given some interlocking fire brick for my forge. I have plenty extra if you want some.

    On this I used a matte clearcoat spray paint.

    Very nice hammerheart I've yet to make tongs. Something I need to do. Finished this thing for my dad's church desk.

    Maybe both our heads together would equal one then. Love the nail header Billybones and good to see the mouse is still around to approve your work.

    Pnut to avoid those forging withdrawals when you get you a mode of transportation you're more than welcome to come to my shop anytime. I'm usually out there in the evenings and on the weekends. I believe we started into this around the same time last year so I wont be a good one to learn anything from but I would enjoy the company. This forum is the only place were I get to talk with others that have the same interests as myself.

    Fowllife thanks and love those hooks. Really like the feather one, might have to attempt one myself. I believe the petals were around 18 gauge. Then I used a welding/chipping hammer to do the texturing.

    Thanks yall

    I remember reading that somewhere on here before and had intentions on doing that. Just never got around to picking some up. Maybe next time if I can remember.

    Got all my valentine's day orders finished up today.
  23. KYCATS
    Hammered out a few leaves. These are for some roses I'm making for valentine's day.

    That's awesome pnut. Congrats

    Nice 450. Here's a quick little heart opener. Passed testing
