Farmweld Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 My Dad found a couple of blacksmithing bits for me at a garage sale where he lives an hour or so away. A 400# Wilkinson that had been abused and repaired, a 12" square swage block in pretty goood nick, and afterwards the bloke selling threw this in for nothing He said it was for forming up plough shears. I'm still trying to work out the how and what size material did they used to form up in these? Any advice as to how they were used would be greatly appreciated.

swedefiddle Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Good Morning, I can see how that might be used to form the leading edge of the plow, similar like a tooth of an excavator or back-hoe bucket. Enjoy life's journey, someone put a lot of thought into what shape the block had to be, to make his job easier. Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
