chimaera i second what Nathan Kraft says.

if no one tries we would get no where 

"I have not failed ten thousand time --- I've successfully found ten thousand ways that will not work."

Thomas Alva Edison

if Edison had not had this attitude we might still be using coal lamps today instead of the light bulb there are over a thousand things that we would not have or could be now in the beginning stages if he had not been willing to make mistakes.

Mistakes are a good thing IF you learn from them!!

for now,

thought i saw this before but cant find it now is a 6in pipe niple 6 with or without the threads 

i cut a old 8 inch tube to 6 1/4 with threads bit it doesnt want to tun well even after trimming the mig tip in half and had a green/ turquise coloured flame surrounded by orange is this too lean or to rich? 

thanks

 M.J.Lampert

ha that would be neat to have guess I'll have to look around the area for one. what will you hook it to for the steam?

wasn't in the shop but started building a chicken shed with my father today goth the base in place stopped now winds blowing to hard to move plywood and such maybe tomorrow??? chicks come on the 8th of April

ok so i got the parts for my frosty T-burner yesterday as well as a piece of rosewood that should give me 4 handles great day with my father getting supplies for a chicken shed also recertified a 30 and 100lb propane tank

TWISTEDWILLOW is the first one a train whistle?

ok so i just checked and as i plan to build of an existing setup the tubes in are 3/8 should i reduce this or will it still work. also could this be why my forge needs 15-20 psi. for a good flame?

thanks 

M.J.Lampert

frosty thank you for the boat load of info

I am going to pick up parts tomorrow replacing one burner for now on my 2 burner forge (the other still works). from there I plan to then do the other one later

i wipe my snowboard glasses with a thin coat of vinigar that usually last 3-10 full day trips and then i repeat it

M.J.Lampert

so I've got to the point where I want to start making my investments start paying of so i am making these fire pokers  to sell the material costs me 3.60 and i take 1/2 hour with propane to make them they are about 29 in I was thinking of charging 25$ as on amazon similar size is going for 30-50 $  would this be a good price or should i go cheaper

thanks 

M.J.Lampert

and yes frosty I need to learn how to make shovels and brooms as well

red shed:

I would tilt the blade 10-20* left or right depending on you plow area as this will lower resistance and push the snow to the side instead of straight forwards also as you sound fairly decent in mechanics try to make a quick connect it might make it easier to store then 

it helps to be the son of a heavy duty mechanic and help him jerry-rig grader blades for backhoes

My great grandpa served in world war 2 in Normandy  France, he was shot in the side of the head and though to be dead he was then dragged to a pile of other dead body’s where they noticed that he was still moving so a medic scooped his “brain matter” back in his head and bandaged it shut he was flown to a hospital in Europe then flown to New England where he spent 2 years regaining his ability to walk, and talk and eventually was able to leave the hospital. In the end he could no longer move his left hand (he was left handed) and had a slight limp on one leg.

He received a Purple Heart award  

wow that's an amazing story to have in you history don't let your future generations forget it

Slicing knife.

thanks JHCC makes sense

My mother got this knife from a friend recently and is wondering what it is for a design. i looked around online a bit and couldn't find any thing so I thought there must be someone here who knows 

the closest thing I could find in shape was the Egyptian Khopesh sword and that isn't very close

the only marking is a stamped 'TAIWAN' at base 13" overall  9" blade

thanks in advance
