    No indeed, you are noy alone. It's winter here but I could walk you to a set of complete iron makings to build a set of wagon wheels. I've never built them but it sure would be fun to have a go. Price is right too. Humphry

    Nicely done, I think the ring idea is a winner for the base. Mine is a maple half split or mabey half a forked stump. Flat on the faceing side. The buddy who gave it uses the other half. Thanks for shareing. :)

    Thanks Frosty,for the good advice on tinkerin the thing myself. I had similar thoughts. Thought I might cycle the gas supply up and down abit and see what happens from there. This is the unit that came with the welder so it's not high end. They offer repair service at Maine OXY where I bought it. Thanks again. Humphry

    They most likely are good steel for blades. If all else fails and you've allready made her mad. Bag them two at a time in some small tough sacks and hand them out to buddies for trailer ball ornaments. That'll stop her from askin next time. Humphry

    I worked up a piece of rail just last week for a cutler anvil, width of the track square to fit my hardie hole. This stuff is tough. It's a slick idea and only your imagination will stop it. Think I might find a potential friend with a power hammer for future projects. Good luck. Humphry

    Hello out there, This isn't traditional smithing, but it's may be a problem. The gas regulator on my hobart handler is whistling when i turn it on. When this starts the gas supply stops. Any suggestions? Should I turn it down,stop useing it for repair, is it freezing? I use an Argon/co2 mix. Humphry:confused:

    I had one of my post vises given to me by dad, the other I offered 100.00 for and was turned down by a friend. Then same friend had to move and said take what you want I'm outa here. Low and behold, there was my vice for free. Niether vice has markings, both are 4". Humphry

    Hey thanks guys , I'll check on the refill and the bad tank idea. I do the recycle thing when I can. Again thanks Humphry

    Hey out there, Has anyone cut an oxygen cylinder for reuse as a bell or gong type project? Is it safe? does it have a nasty or volital filler? I came into a few for free and am thinking of X-mas gifts. Any advice or warnings would be great, Thanks Humphry:)

    Hey Dave' I'd say it's a good buy if it isn't delaminated at the work surface. It looks pretty good from the photo. My anvil is only 180#, it'll be all you need for hand work. I picked up my peter wright from Uncle Henry's, but there getting harder to find. Saw two Last week, at Liberty Tool and Elmers barn,"both in Maine". Neither was that cheap or in that good a shape. I'd grab it. Humphry
