That is a TRUE - whats ma call it :rolleyes: hands down

YEP letter opener is going to be a BIG HIT ! thats my prediction

SO you're point ?? everyday is a Saturday if you love what you do ! :wub: PS -- BEER is also needed LOL

YES THANK YOU ! loved it ! all the same rules apply to us just in a smaller form :)

THAT'S Intense !!! craftsmanship ! WOW I will do any job there other than doing the teeth LOL

I have seen Ti coated steel so ??? by the way you can get great heat colors out of it a smith was making some FINE rose out of it have no idea where to get the sheeting though :(

YEP looks like the same thing I have on the welding table I was told it was a mouse hole 130 wt

if you have a a/c-o/x torch heat welding spot to red then weld that should work yes sound like a hardness problem

Rounding the edges on an anvil can be a very personal thing ! PER Smith ! from how round you want it 1/8 or 3/8" & where on the anvil !!!!! & how long !!! tapered it also depending on what you forge often on the anvil & of coarse where you stand LOL I would take a disc sander a take off JUST very sharpness of the edge & use for now LIKE Glen said !!! then look @ other smiths anvils & try them out if they let you always ask ! before using ask why they ground theirs that way ? then when you find what works for you THEN copy that pattern :) when I repair weld anvils I tell my customers that they get to round edges the way they want or they can come over & I will help them in doing it STEVE'S Welding & Fab PS---- Pic's are good

yea i think its a mouse hole too - just got one to fix up / weld last Tuesday I will take a better look @ it when I hit the shop & get back

answer is yes there good I have one 64 cfm ordering a 170 cfm its the Larger one know many more in service no problems

well just last week I fix a pto shaft for a farmer with a similar problem what he did I now know HOW he did it I don't LOL he put the pto shaft together 1/3 turn out of sinc it lock up & wouldn't come apart !! he used sledge on the yoke to take apart now shields wont mount in yoke @ all & still stuck My fix was with no shield A 10 ton port a power to push apart & it took most of the 10 tons to force apart ! other Idea is to use a chain come a long -- chain shaft to tractor & a tree or something that will not move ! & slowly pull apart use lots of oil be careful ! pulling it with a tractor is not the best Idea ! come a long is better you may have to cut the shields off ? they only come off when shafts are apart at less JD & others Good luck hopes this helps

LOL Matt CBA should be at least broken it to 3 zones min & this memo is just for us on the coast ! there is northern - central - southern ! Ca to drive the full length of Ca on the coast from north to south is what 1400 miles + or so ? time 24 Hrs + straight most meeting happen from Sacramento down / = central Ca & further south in the big city's yet for the rural northern smiths ?? well 8 + hr drive south will get you to a meet :( yet there the northern smiths Well we are the Jefferson Smith OF Northern Ca & Southerner Or :) ! whats my point well we are hands on ! here in the north ! i am not saying that southern cba is not ! hands on we just have a lot less folks to deal with in the north & that makes hands on easier & yea I know I don't follow well its a thinking outa the box thing DARN !! I was hook into welding & fab of metal in 76 I was hook into smithing in 80 I got board we built a forge LOL Opps :wub: :wub: that became an addiction for Hot work !! in metal theirs so much to learn & well then theirs glass working theirs also so much to lean & yet the same :) I guess I am toast LOL !

THAT is just plane NUT'S !!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL :o thanks for the look makes you wonder how many nuts it took & how long

stove paint & polish need to be heat cured ! or they will transfer onto other stuff when I repaint the house wood stove I take it out of the house & fire it up other wise will stink out the house bad they also don't like outside weather like rain you will repaint next year again been there on BBQ I build -- HIGH Temp paint is another option stove black is just a high temp flat black paint more or less

LOL I like the Idea I have to throw a hand full in the tool bag now that will answer that pesky little ? of can you make a sword SO anyone shoe a horse with them yet :rolleyes: the other pesky little ? LOL

I Have a master beaker switch box lockable on/off for safety, when hammer is not in use then I have a 220 reg switch like youre room light switch just 220 V on the bass of my hammer that I can use my foot to turn on or off PH a safety foot switch would be better yet this works well

very nice piece !! David mite be a good Idea for a art screen door just a bit lighter lol

Nobody Special What nights & time do Anvils Anonymous Meet ? :rolleyes: and do they do confessionals by the anvil ? do you have to bring you're hammer ?? :unsure:

I am thinking a body hammer would make a nice small rounding hammer for dish work maybe ? take the edges off round the face its not a punch though ? is it tapered one end or both ?

you know when you're a true smith - welder when someone says Hay you're on Fire ! / again lol You're reply is yea I know but I am to busy right now I take care of that later :D the coverall guy Hate's Me :o just DON'T no why :rolleyes:
