Seb, yes the hole on the tapa is for the switch of an adjustable snare that I have built off of different designs I saw on YouTube

A bolt of lightening hit so close to the house out in the woods the instantaneous clap of very loud thunder rattled the windows, convinced Axle and I to retreat into the house
one time me and some friends were messing around on the baseball Dimond and we had a strike that hit close enough to stand your hair on end.
last year I was pressure washing a piece of equipment during a rain shower when we had a lightning strike that I am certain was under 1 km away, the silo they stored the cement powder was pouring dust through the vents because of the shock wave, way too close for comfort

not sure if i want to embarrass myself that bad

some more progress pics on the Cajon
gluing the bottom on
the tapa (front) 1/8th Birch plywood cut and drilled
the top being glued on
a problem I had last night was that the brass screws are snapping before they get tight I pre-drilled to the specs on the package for hardwood (3/32nds) and it is drilled deeper than the length of the screw i had the clutch on the drill at 4 so it should have been low torque.
also just how bad I am at making things square
finally a mock up of what it will look like (before finishes applied)
have a great weekend

Does a punch needs to be hardened?
someone will probably come along and quote a source but my understanding is that tools used for hot work don't get hardened because their use tempers them to a point where the hardening is lost, cold chisels on the other hand would be hardened
just my understanding of the little I've read

njanvilman every time you post I know I will get a case of anvil envy but this one takes it to a new level.
Thank you for rescuing all these timeless artifacts. If only each one could tell their story...

Thomas if i was closer i would enjoy being a minion and a remover of unneeded tools i am certain i could put them to great use
on the other hand I hope you are around to use them for many more years

there's an old article by arki that shows some different designs in this section but not really a tutorial

thanks all
George I didn't think of that, as I would've considered it Cultural Appreciation as it is recognizing a landmark, but I guess these days even if you don't offend the people its concerning someone else will be offended for them
messing around online the closes thing I could find was a Tundra Mountain ranch in Colorado. I checked on the BC name request registry and there was 24 names coming up that started with Tundra but nothing close, for some reason if I turned it from ironwork to blacksmith or blacksmithing they turned up no similar results. also found I could end it with "Co."
thus there is in my mind now preferred ideas, though I prefer the first i am open to others ideas.
Tundra Mountain Blacksmithing
Tundra Mountain Blacksmith Co.

so i was looking at a map book near an area that I had been in and noticed this place thought it was an interesting place
this got me thinking that perhaps my name choice of Two mountains Ironwork which was meant to be describing an imaginary point in my mind but i recently found that that is the translation of a town in Quebec (Deux-Montagnes) so I decided to think of a Place that holds more significance to me while still keeping the touchmark so my mind when to my grandparents ranch at the base of the Ilgachuz Range so I decided to have a look and the closest peak in that system is Tundra Mountain.
now the reason I posted all this is I'm trying to decide between Ilgachuz Range Ironwork or Tundra Mountain Blacksmithing both which turn up nothing close in web searches
