hi mick...at this point in time i'll be there but only for about 2 hours,i have a engagement party to go to in the afternoon:(

bathurst 1000 car race on in oz this weekend so i'm glued to the tv....here a link with an introduction done by russell crow http://tinypic.com/usermedia.php?uo=dSQmRIlC78usV%2Bs0C3oHoIh4l5k2TGxc

please be aware some of the language in the link does not meet the IForgeIron standards. on this off site link are a few funny stories of great ways to hurt yourself with out really trying....anyone have any similar stories on how they injured them selves....

thank you everyone for your reply's problem solved regards mike

not a problem unicorn forge

thank you that sure helps regards mike

not a problem mick

question that some of us that failed school might like an answer to lol....if i had a peice of 100mm (4 inch)flat stock and i wanted to make a 60 degree cut, how far back from right angle would i measure to get 60 degree's thanks regards mike

good on ya mick,count me in depending on what gear other people have,and weather others can do it, maybe we could all take turns in putting something on

this weekend i started to build a set of racks for my trailer because when ever i need to carry something a bit long i ether had to cut it into smaller lenghts or borrow my sons ute,i have completed the front set and will build the rest on my next lot of days off......i also repaired the gutter on my carport befor it rusted out completely..........the most important job i done this weeked was painting a small table that's under our pergola with chalk board paint so that my two granddaughters have a chalk board to writ on when they're here,which i might add is quite often:)

we're waiting mick or maybe someone else could get the ball rolling

thanks for all the advice....i think i might see if i can chase up a fork lift tyne and make my own regards mike

if someone was to buy a hf anvil could you then weld or attach in some way a half decent piece of plate on top as a working surface and would it then be a better anvil regards mike

coke would be my fuel of choice mick,if i can find a good source...i may even for the moment stick with my car rim forge,hope to finish it soon,i can get a touch slack at times lol lol

local garage lets me scavenge through there scrap metal bin....this is what i brought home today .....the long shafts are 24 mm dia and 1.4 meters long.....the coils and leaf spring are off some sort of small truck same for the drum and disk

latest find at my local garage......the long shafts are 24 mm dia and 1.4 meters long,they look like some sort of drive shafts

thanks for the offer ratel10mm but i should be ok for a brake drum,my local garage gives me free access to the scrap metal bin with all the cast off from the cars that they repair.......are you using charcoal or coke,cokes xxxx hard to get hold of

hey griffith you will find double edge2 to be a very good patient teacher and very willing to share his knowledge hi mike i actually wouldn't mind making a proper decent forge myself...if someone was prepared to guide me ;-)

hi francis ....i'm going to build my own forge and i was wondering if there was any chance you could send me the fire pot plans also thanks mate regards mike

thanks mick

hi mick hows things going with you......do you know were i can get coke in brisbane regards mike
