Most Columbians I've seen had a cast logo on the top of the mount plate. Anything on that? In the picture showing it its covered by the spring. 

Nothing on top but on the bottom it has a 2. I'll post a pic when I get home tonight. Thanks everyone.

From scratch, or from Ken's? Either way, they look good and should serve you well.

Yes slot jaw from Ken's,I used them to make the leaf keyring.

First tongs and leaf key ring, suggestions and criticism welcomed.

Screw&screw box pics,and I found a 50 stamped below the 1903.

First thing is I would want to see a picture of the screw. 

Daswulf, screw and screw box looked good to me, but I will post a couple of pics tomorrow.

Looking for help, I have zero knowledge on post vise, seller didn't know anything either. Pic heavy

Very nice indeed!

Hope you get better quickly

Finally got my hydraulic press finished tonight. Can't wait to use it.

Ted, I am using James Batsons book "Build your own hydraulic forging press"

Got my press welded up, now to make dies and wait for pump and control valve

Thanks Ted, middle plates are 1" and angle is 3/8×3×5 

Started my press build today

Ok will try to locate # when I get home and no videos. Got it, Thanks gentlemen.

Thanks for the info ThomasPowers, the ring is not a dull thud but I will post a short video later with ballbearing and ring test. Thanks again for the info from everyone.

Ball bearing test was great,not sure what the ring should be on something that size, base seems to be cast iron but I am not positive. Face looks like it has been recently resurfaced what should the ring sound like? Thanks in advance.

Thanks to everyone for their responses.

Curious if anyone has heard of a Hercules 400 Anvil? If so what are ya'lls thoughts on the subject. Thanks for any info.

Finally finished my forge cart.

Nice work, now I know what to do with the anchor I've got, thank for an idea.

You are pushing the limits with two 3/4". If it is a hot enough burner design you can do it. The next larger size is too much, but can be turned down; that's the safe bet.

Thanks for the information, i will most likely add another inch of insulation for now. That should take care of any issues with the cubic inch formula, correct?
