And wah-la grind in between and final the edge and handle and there's a knife finished hopefully all by using a forge and belt grinder etc. Rey
:mad: First: Can you forge a tapper? Then can you make a hook out of it? And not in ten heats ether.If not then how are you going to forge a knife? Wah-la... Stock removel? Cool..You know that when you make your blank you have to cut it out. Wah-la... With what? A grinder belt?

As a Gold & Silversmith, boric acid & acl are used to pervent fire scale. Borax is a flux. Ether one do the same. Helps to keep the oxy at bay. I make a mix of 8oz Borax to 4oz Boric acid for a solder flux. 16 oz of water and reducde down to a past.

This last Friday My son and grandson went to a Steam Show.On the way we stooped at a shop had a lot of stuff in it. low and behold I found two vices and a reduction gear box 12:1. All for $100 . The reduction box is going to turn my treadle wheel.Then we hit the Steam show. My son was like a six year old. Makeing him just 5years older than his son.LOL. We had a grate time, then I found the market of markets (see I don't get out much) Not even past the frist vender and I was the kid in a candy store. Looked around some and Then i headr some one clling my name true ho true come over hear and tuch me hold me get me HOT! A FORGE!! I feal in Love. She then said that I could have her. The better half might have somthing to say I thought to my self. And I got her with two fans. For a $100 I think I did all right. The green vice has Cole Tool MFG & Chicago HTS Ill.

Glad you asked, I felt that the sidearm was not big enough 11/4 to3/4. You are right on the tuning. The the hole was not dead on. So I need to change that. This one is all turned. the next one will be like one of yours "T" 1" oh the jet is .035. I will work on the sidearm too.
Frosty I found one that was necked down some just after the taper.The other one had a cone shape in the tube. What say you about that stile? -

I can't say (In order to fix this can I just reheat to weld temp and give it a smack to re-weld?)what I would do is make sure you flux real good.I have not done this in a open heat, it's all ways closed oven. When I do this it is under perisher. Clamp, two stainless steel plates, A x B X C ? two to four bolts SS. then heat soak. Copper and like metals are way diffrent than steel. and when combind the melt temp changes.
