It’s a small 1/8 hp blower for yard inflatables. I got it on Amazon as an open box scratch and dent. It is pretty quiet and puts out much more pressure. I forged yesterday and much of what I did was play around with adjustments of the air gate to see how much control I have over the fire.

It IS turning into an epic tale. I'm almost hesitant to suggest drawing that shaft to blue, getting a coarser band then taking the Portaband to it. The rule of thumb for saws is 3 teeth on the metal at once. Finer is NOT better, too many teeth and the cuttings can't clear so they ball up and gall, then the blade jams. I can't find coarser than 10-14 variables but they seem to be working if you don't feed them too fast. Ah SNAP I made the suggestion anyway! It's that helpful gene again. Frosty The Lucky.

Meadowgrove Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 Oh no! Looks like I ran out and had to work on my anvil for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notownkid Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 For many years I shot competitively around the Northeast portion of the country. I shot with some top long shooters in the US, I not being one of them. I kept a small notebook of excuses why my day's shooting wasn't up to par. I would have an excuse and x the book to see if I had used it recently like wrong ammo, not enough sweatshirts, sun wrong, barrel shot out etc, When I came up with a new one in the book it went. Eventually the word got around and others would show up to get an excuse out of the book, Ran across the book when I moved last Dec. I've got nothing done in the shop recently and now I have my backhoe parked in there to get it out of the snow so I'm working on a new book, ",Pain in the butt to have to start the backhoe and move it out for a small job", "if I move it out it will bring snow back in the shop, " first two entries.

Meadowgrove Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 What an awful situation. My workshop has electricity once again so excused are going to get even more stupid than before! I was going to work on my anvil for a bit, but... I forgot where I but the hunk-o-steel the last time. By the time I located it again it was "too dark" to do anything... It's like I deliberately forgot the power's running again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
