Strix Varia Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 thanks.Lookslike yall had a great time at the show.I hated missing it,but it was like it wasnt meant to be(at least this year).with deaths in the family right together,..and a major relocation right at the worst time. Looking at those pics really goes to show we have world-class talent right here in oklahoma! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strix Varia Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 Not a folded ax,..just a hunkof leaf spring,...the end up-set down into a rectangle and the eye cut with a slitting chisel then drifted out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Steinkirchner Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 i've seen springs up to 5/8 inch thick on heavy trucks, and there are haevier springs than that on the dump trucks of the coal mining strip jobs around here. in fact the dies on my guillotene tool are 3/8 inch thick overload springs off of a totalled truck. i wish that my dad would have kept half of what he burried when he ran dozer years ago. oh, well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
