That looks like a bronze gear. Why not try to straighten it?

Hell'o from Steelville, MO, 1 1/2 hour southwest of St. Louis. If you would edit your profile as to your location, we would know your location. 15 minutes Northeast of St. Louis would be 45 minutes farther from me than, 15 minutes Southwest of St. Louis. There are blacksmiths, that I know in St. Louis, Fenton, High Ridge, Washington, Desoto, Old Mines, in Missouri. Granite City, Beleville, Pickneyville, in Illinois. Any of us would be willing to help you.

Curly George had some in the Gallery, with some instruction.

Thank's for an excellent demo/tutorial. I knew the concept, but forgot the dimensions. I made a Spike cross, as Shown by, "Marksnagle".

Interesting, thanks for posting, fellas.

Great news, glad you are resting at home! It's baby steps now for a little while, getting stronger a little at a time. Take care, give my best to Clara, see you soon.

Thank you Kyle, for the updates. It's great to hear my friend is on the mend! After the pain of recovery & rehab, I'm not sure how any of us will keep up with a "healthy Stan".

Been praying, hoping, crossing fingers. I haven't been able to get online due too last Sunday's tornado. But I'll be checking often now. I want to visit in person, when you're ready Stan, but I don't want to take up family time.

Your 8" will probably work but that would be the minimum. Personally I would use 12". Length of flue ( the higher the better), height of hood over fire come into play, don't put a damper, low smokey fire is heaver thus draws less. Here look at these. http://www.beautifuliron.com/chimneys.htm

I would take a little less aggressive approach. I am in the process of restoring one now, to use at pre-1840's demos. I am building my frame, axle, treadle linkage & seat. Then plan to spin the wheel, as if using it, and dress with an angle grinder with a hard wheel. Here is a pick of one I'm patterning after.

I'd bet a nickle,U.S., the anvil would be just fine, enveloped by other steel, in that cube!
-
Nice George!
-
Thank You Dave, a slightly different, and I think easier approach. I had no heard of the wax you use but I will be looking for it.

There is a mine supply company in Viburnim, Missouri, 30 miles from me. I'll be over that way this week, I'll check for you.

An American hero, to be sure. Men, as unselfishly giving, are few and far between. I did not know Lester, but know men of his caliber. I'm sure he will be missed by many, my prayers go out to them.

I will be remembering, Ed in my prayers, and asking for an easing of his pain and fear. Having been a caregiver, and a Diabetic, with COPD myself, (neither advanced). I understand what he is going through.

Glad you are out, and got stuff under control. My condolences on the loss of your Libby.
Sincerely,
Keith -
The fan in your window is pulling air and smoke down the flue. Turn it around to bring in outside air. You will still help draw If you add that length of 8".

Mike I am late for your test, but praying for your son, you and your entire family. I hope everything is ok with your family. I hope you get, or have gotten, the position you need.
My best wishes, thoughts and prayers.

Harold I am praying for your son safe return, as well as you and your family during this emotionally draining time.
All the best.
Keith
