Look for post about buttering, I think that's how it was worded.

Maybe this? https://www.iforgeiron.com/topic/64410-johann-elias-bleckmann-anvils/

I second this, I used to make charcoal from pine. It is very light and burn fast.

I hope im not out of line posting this, if so im sorry.

Frosty I was hoping thats what the conversation was leading to. Last I checked its still sitting in his truck.

My boss bought this a few days ago and said, I thought youd like to see this.

I think you should clean up the shoulders of the blade and the mushrooming on the punch before you do.

Take a look at Stage Coach Farm and Forge, he makes skillets and other cookware. I believe there something like 1018 or 1020.

I prefer the early seasons when they would have to take parts off of a car, pinball machine, tools etc and forge a blade.

I have heard this breed refered to as a velcro dog, seems the name is accurate.

stupid question, and just point out the obvious I think. But how recently was the filter changed? The date written on the side looks like 2023?

Roll the pallet of sections of pipe, if not going up hill.

I agree with frosty. You will be hitting hot metal on the anvil, not beating the stump.

When it does light, what color is the flame? Is the flame blowing off the burner? I can't help with this but that might be helpful information to others.

The Mr. Heater filters we sell have male on 1 side on female on the other and they are the same thread as disposable 1lb cylinders. Search disposable propane bottle adapters, there is an assortment. The big black end thats fits on a 20lb tank is QCC. Disposable x QCC adapter or disposable x POL for 100lb. There are some adapters that are disposable x 1/4 MPTwhich I believe would get you into a regulator. ( atleast the regs I'm familiar with) I believe I also saw some hoses that were QCC on 1 end and the filter on the other.

looks like 73

Anything besides the Mr, Heater style seems a bit pricey but I did see other options.

If you going to beat it up with cold work why not go with something like a cast steel anvil from Vevor. There alot cheaper.

Frosty, there are ineline propane filters. We sell one here made by Mr. Heater made to attach to the 1lb cylinders.

Search printable sticker paper, also just an idea I have seen others do. You could print on regular paper and cut out as mentioned, then use spray adhesive to stick it to the surface to be etched.

It may not be helpful but a google search brings up a few different tutorials.

I think you can buy Chile Forge's Diablo burner, but I am unsure of there cost. I don't own one but I believe they are good from what I've read on here.

Thanks guys, I may give that a try that.

Current setup, there all a little loose.

Very nice, I have not actually seen one but would like to get one.
