Billy you are correct it’s my injector connectors and they also chewed up my ignition coil connectors dang lil critters. Frosty not sure I live out in the middle of nowhere so could quite possibly be anything, there is what looks like rabbit poo around where the wires are chewed but there could be lots of critters that poo like that. Right now I’m thinking it’s a bunny, squirrel, or chipmunk all I know is that no lil critter is safe now around the farm I will eliminate them all. Thanks for your responses guys I really and truly do appreciate them all. Have a great rest of your evenings.

Hello everyone, don’t know if we have some mechanically inclined people here but I need help identifying this part some critter got up in my engine bay and chewed some wires whatever this is is right below my fuel rail 2018 ram 1500 5.7L, it’s to the left of the wire nuts and newer wires, yes I had a critter get up there and chewed what I believe to be part of my ignition system about month maybe month and half ago that I already had to fix. Thanks for the any info. Hope everyone has an amazing day today

That’s what I told my wife before we got married

Yes I’ve almost bought those quite a few times, my only hesitation has been with how short they are but for the price and what all you get seems like a decent deal

Good day my fellow IFI’ers hopefully this post finds you well, so I am in need of making some ball end punches, my 1st thought that came to mind was to use ball end hex Allen wrenches and slowly belt sand down the ball end to a ball not hex while keeping it cool to not ruin the temper, the hex keys I currently have are from a company named Bondhus they are supposedly made here in the USA and according to there website it says they use a Protanium steel. Has anyone ever heard of this alloy was just curious on how to find out if it’s safe to use for what I’m wanting it to. Thanks for reading and I look forward to hopefully some responses. Hope y’all have a great day. Merica <3

Goods, thank you sir I appreciate that. I use to spend some time down by Vernon. BillyBones howdy hope y’all are doing well today so far

Well I’m sure glad I stumbled upon this post was seriously thinking about ordering a majestic forge but guess that won’t happen anytime soon

Yes this is actually what I’ve been looking for as well so thank you, I’ve met one guy from around where I live that makes knives but haven’t gotten to setup a good time to make it to his shop yet hopefully soon if I can ever get a day off work. But for now I will continue to resort to IFI and YouTube for my learnings until I can meetup with some people.

Hello IFI and all its members, my name is Gayle Coombs I live in Indiana near the Indiana Ohio line, I’m just restarting my journey into blacksmithing and bladesmithing I actually started about 5 years ago, my house caught on fire (not due to forging) and I cut all the tendons on the back of my right hand which is my dominant hand, so had about a year off while I learned how to use my hand then had to move. So I recently (within the last year) started to try to get back at it. I’m using the blade smith forge (I think it’s called) from atlas tool and knife and I have their bigger anvil that they sell as well. I’m interested in learning tool making, axe making, knifes, swords and just metal manipulation in general. It’s nice to meet everyone and I would like to say thank you upfront with all the help that I’ve already gotten by reading your posts and comments as well as future questions I will have. Hope everyone has a great day and is able to get out and forge some

Thank you Frosty, ya I seen this was a few years old didn’t personally think this would have been a great ideal but to each their own, was just curious if he tried or not, I will try to find the introduction thread not sure if I’ve seen that one yet or not been scoping out a lot of posts over the past couple years and been a member probably around or lil over a year I’ve yet to post anything until today, there is a lot of great info and from what I can tell some great people on here look forward to learning more as I continue my journey. Hope you have a great day sir

Well CrazyOatmeal did you end up making a stone drift or did you use metal?
