  1. finishing up a blade I made and running into some trouble with keeping the blade straight

    steel: 1095

    spine thickness: .07-.08 in

    oil: parks 50

    Quench temp: non-mag +4-8 seconds

    oil temp: 6*C

    doing best to move blade in up-down motion only 

    on second try immediately after oil stops boiling placed between anvil and a large flat piece of steel, still bent. 3rd try same plus pushing on plate with my weight, not as bad but still some.

    Now figuring I need reanneal and normalize again before trying any more

    on the plus side the blade did come out hard:D (take half a win over a full loss)

     

    results:  #3

    between 10 and 12 one takes out their brain puts it in a jar and sets it on a shelf to be forgot about until their done doing stupid $**! in their twenties, when they remember where they put it and become decent citizens.

  3. I know Thomas will be missed on here for is excellent ideas and quick remarks hope he can get back on one last time to say goodbye

    on the plus side because of this forum people can learn from him for years if not decades to come.

    sending thoughts and prayers to the family to get through this

    No pictures but all week, I have been live trapping pack rats and re-locating them. So far I've caught 4 rats and 1 chipmunk.

    I understand not wanting packrats, having entered cabins that they took over but personally I would exterminate them rather than relocate as that smell/mess is not one I would wish on anybody

  5. got some more info of the radio's info tag, it's a Canadian made built by roger majestic corp. limited for De Forest Crosley limited. 

    Price in first year of sale 122.95 $ accounting for inflation that would be 2537.09 CAD today.

    this is some pictures from the net of ones in better shape I don't have the cloth or top as of now

    See the source image 1158631078_neptunedial.thumb.jpg.8bb69f68e117219d833e05c673877d7f.jpg

    edit: found some more info on the company it appears that rogers-majestic bought De Forest Crosby after the parent company tried to expand too fast in the middle of the depression and went bankrupt in '33

    here's a link explaining better than I can for those interested (I looked it through and think its ok for the site (if not please remove it mods))

  6. need to get some pictures but was given an old tube radio cabinet to refurbish it. It has working inners and once I have the cabinet fixed the owner is letting me decide what happens to it. not sure what make or model but there is a stamping on the inside "10/36" and another "Neptune" so my guess is a 1937 model?
