  1. List of battleships of the United States Navy - Wikipedia that could be off anything between B-26 to B-29 (south Carolina or Delaware classes) or put on a later ship (florida or Wyoming class though these where mainly deconstructed on the Atlantic side more likely they where rail mounted which explains how they got to new mexico 12-inch gun M1895 - Wikipedia I am not well versed in these subjects but this would make sense if I'm wrong please correct me M.J.Lampert
  2. thanks i will take a magnifying glass out and look oops I'm slightly more brawns than brains (at times) I've learned that from you in a separate thread and now my edc includes a 3/8 bearing ball and I'll drop from 10in beside a tape measure Frazer, I've been told similar (bull headed) and at times i can be rather thick skinned PS I don't see how that was poking fun at me
  3. the rebound is still good with a hammer. I'm gonna find some time to get in the shop and do an hour or two on it and se if i like it. there are no bolt holes what would be the best way to hold it down? thanks
  4. I grabbed a Kanca 50 anvil on sale as I've heard good about their vices before purchase i tested rebound with a 3/8 bearing ball and its good 80-95% at $800 i thought it wouldn't be a bad grab as I've seen no old anvils locally. brought it home and tested it with a small ballpeen starting about 4 inches and light blows there are visible marks in the face (images left large to see) and a 800G hammer was flattening the edges while taking small nicks to the face I'm trying to decide if i should return it and wait for something better or use this it is definitely forged top, 2 pieces and welded together. Base may be cast M.J.Lampert
  5. i have personally blown a glass vase (i blew and they did all the work) when we visited a glass foundry(?) in Germany they used electric furnaces and about 5ft pipes with wood handles most of their tooling was steel though they used wood blocks to smooth the finished product (they used a lot of water in that step)
  6. made the first ever trip to the scrap yard with my father as we are cleaning out the shop they only payed 180 a ton on steel we had some other stuff but only came around 250 got a damaged oxy tank and going to make some dishing forms with it also grabbed a Kanca 50 anvil on sale as I've heard good about their vices before purchase i tested rebound with a 3/8 bearing ball and its good 80-95% at $800 i thought it wouldn't be a bad grab as I've seen no old anvils locally. brought it home and tested it with a small ballpeen starting about 4 inches and light blows there are visible marks in the face (images left large to see) and a 800G hammer was flattening the edges while taking small nicks to the face I'm trying to decide if i should retun it and wait for something better or use this it is definitely forged 2 pieces and welded together base may be cast
  7. we still have some limited 2G here as well as #G running well 4G for most people and 5G came in early last year i run an Alcatel flip phone and while it does the job I'm annoyed that i have "unlimited" text the 3/4 hits a letter REALLY limits texting though after a while you get so is 1 minute a text and not 10
  8. I've been in a plane with 20lb tanks in the floats and cans of gasoline wouldn't want a crash if they had been full( these where empties on the way out
  9. john you probably could rent that out and get profit from it i know a person who rented a wood "arch" (just 2 verticals and a horizontal) for IIRC $50 Canadian, you could do $50 US and still be cheap again wonderful work alexandre
  10. needs some engine work (not firing 1000% on one cylinder and needs oil etc) and the drivers side door pin bushings are long gone so the door panel is busted fixes look to be under $500 total to fix and that will boost the value of the car to around 3000-5000 I've seen on others in the province minimal rust on body and the back seats fold good space to I'm 6ft and have extra space has roof tie points and 251999km on it new transmission about 40000km back edit 100% not 1000 but left cause i thought its funny
  11. shorn three of our sheep (Suffix, Dorset cross) on Saturday sheep and got a black bag of wool thet sadly will go to the dump
  12. So i am now officially a car owner got this over the weekend a 2000 GMC Jimmy not the truck i had hoped for, but at 1K i couldn't pass it by as the tires with it are worth almost that much
  13. that stinks had that happen at school once even with all the firewalls set up what did you run before we have three problem makers all on windows 10 and 2 reliable ones on windows 7 that my dad uses the only reason i dont use 7 is that the programs i use for school aren't supported by 7.
