2Tim215 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 This was hanging from the claws of the crane on its way to the crusher when I glanced up and saw it. With much waving and screaming I managed to attract the attention of the operator and save it from destruction. Sadly I know that two more were in the pile and have been destroyed. I also managed to get half a wagon wheel but found out that two forges with working hand blowers were packed into the container two day before and sent to china/india as scrap.

5k1nn3r Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Great save and quick thinking. Looking forward to seeing it all cleaned up. You need to have a long talk with the scrap yard (bring coffee, donuts) about setting certain things aside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Great rescue! I almost dread asking the scrappers what's gone in the bin before I get there. You don't want to know, but you can't stop yourself from asking just so you can bask in the pain of what's been lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Tim215 Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 After a good clean up and some high heat silver paint - all I need to do now is make the spring and it will be part of my travel setup for blacksmithing demos. Have made arrangments with the scrap yard people - they have pics of what I am looking for and will keep an eye out when they can - about all I can ask for.
