Johnezo Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Thanks Apprenticeman, different version to what I have seen before. I'll try and get some drawings done of the two other versions. Might be of interest generally. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Salvati Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Please do John! Woah a blast from the past, this treadle is still in my shop, I don't quite use it as much as I would like considering the investment made, but I do not use alot of tooling when working with blades.

Nakedanvil - Grant Sarver Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Looks pretty fine, nice work! If the "anvil" is a tube (as it appears) you will not be able to get much work out of it forging with any flat dies. Try hand hammering on a piece of square tube compared to an anvil. Concrete filling does not help much, you need a real chunk of iron. You're still getting a lot of bang for the buck, and having fun too.

Sam Salvati Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Yeah, as stated in the thread the square tube was all I had, and it was based on the simple treadle design that used to be a BP here on the site before it was removed so that plans could be sold here on IFI. I only needed 1 20 footer of the 2 inch square 1/4 wall tubing, the design is made so that it is easy to build and SIMPLE to build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
