    I went to the website with no problem (Mac). They have a 176 lb block for over $1100.00. Seems high to me. If you are looking for holes get some heavy plate and make 'em.

    Too bad. It was a good video. Who removed it and where did it go?

    seems like the bit job would be a good fit for a two man shop.... steady cash coming in but still able to get away from it when you need to. however it works out all the best to you Larry. come back and hang out whenever you're in the mood. Bob

    What are your ideas?

    I would probably make a new handle. The threads might be a little hard on your hand. But it does have a funky kind of look. Nice vice. I have a 3-1/2" on my layout/welding table. Very handy.

    This is the best advice on this thread. No worries tho because no one seems to read it. I guess people don't think they are getting value if they don't spend a lot of money. Carry on.

    Hope you get some pictures of 'hot drilling'. I have done some hot drilling but never on purpose. :D

    Scott. If you're a 'real newbie' how will you know if the free coal is any good or not? It takes some experience to manage a forging fire. Better idea to go over to Centaur Forge in Burlington, WI and bite the bullet on a bag or two of good coal. Then at least you will have some idea on what is going on. Good coal is worth the price.

    Sorry Kevin I want to sell them as a set. Like you said it's a great deal. Bob

    I have four of these books for sale. I want $50 + shipping for all four. All are in good used condition. Good bindings, no loose pages, no turned down corners.

    Fastenal would be (some of) your competition. http://www.fastenal.com/web/en/16/tool-and-cutter-grinding You might be able to beat their price but they cover a lot of ground. I'm not sure how many on this board use 3/4"+++ drill bits. You might try calling your local Fastenal and get a quote for a few sizes of drills. Could give you an idea of the price. But good luck.

    I wouldn't worry about it either. But would you discount the value of this anvil if you were buying it? Bob

    Sad news.

    I avoid using the 'b' word for that very reason. If I have to categorize myself I call myself a metal worker. The 'b' word evokes the whole spreading chestnut tree image and seems to limit creativity with way to much emphasis on the boogity boogity of forge welding as the be all and end all. But I kinda like rr spikes. :unsure:

    It seems like not too long ago Hollis (HWooldridge) mentioned that he had made a new spring for a 50lb? LG out of A36 and that it was still going strong after several years. I looked around but could not find that post but maybe Hollis will see this and comment? Maybe you could send him a private mail?

    I have never noticed spam being a problem. Also I wonder what is the advantage of "Across multiple sites login". What is the upside? I see already how many people on Facebook "like" this site. I'm glad they do (I guess) but I don't have nor do I want Facebook. Will my presence here be affected? by my non Facebook stance? Will I still have access to IFI without being on Facebook?
