SLAG Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Jlp services inc, Has posted, "A company cannot control what a new owner will do.. A ball bearing will certainly dent and anvil face if thrown hard into an anvil. A hammer face will dent an anvil face with a miss strike and a ball bearing is harder than most hammers." The implied warranty of fitness envisions use, NOT ABuse. (that is, normal use). Negligence law and its variant, products liability law, also, only consider reasonable use. This is the state of the law in most common law jurisdictions, There are exceptions. (California comes to mind). Perhaps attorney George N.M. could inform us, about other such "contrarian" jurisdictions. SLAG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I believe Centaur Forge added that disclaimer after several of our members had problems with their Kanca anvils. I don't remember seeing it prior to then. https://www.iforgeiron.com/topic/61932-kanca-new-165-anvil-with-a-soft-face/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great point. I had impact erosion from missed strike with the steeled wrought iron hammer on the Peddinghaus.. one of the reasons 1045 is a good material never gets to hard..

Cannon Cocker Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 The other day I made a coal rake for my new forge. I added a little kick to it to make it a little more ergonomic. Then today I accomplished my first forge weld and found out that one scraps easily get up to welding heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHCC Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Worth noting that Japanese smiths (especially swordsmiths and other bladesmiths) use softwood charcoal. By the time the fire gets to welding heat, the resins have all burned out, leaving a very good fuel:air ratio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Soft wood charcoal burns hotter faster while hardwood charcoal burns longer. Hardwood charcoal will get just as hot, just not as easily. Hardwoods contain more minerals than soft while soft has more voids. The voids increase surface area and fire ONLY burns at surfaces where oxy can contact it. This is also why small pieces of fuel burn more easily and quickly, it's why you split kindling, yes? Axe looks pretty darn good Billy and the tongs look useful. Well done, have you used them yet? I don't know about letting the mouse hang around though, I try to minimize roDents. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Are you saying that dents are only a problem if they’re in a row? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Special Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I like hardwood charcoal for the fire, and soft charcoal to start it. I'll do that for smoking too. If I put softwood in to burn, it feels like I'm flying through the stuff. Perhaps rodents aren't so much a problem, as he was just rabbit-ing on. Not to rat him out or anything.

Chris C Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I need to make one of those for a friend of mine who keeps saying she wants to build a coal forge. Figure if I make her a rake, it'll inspire her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandragoran Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I made these over the last few days. They include three hooks of varying sizes as well as a hot cut tool I ground out of a jackhammer bit. Not the cleanest or straightest grind, but I was worried about making the edge too thin. It cuts well, however I have to find a way to mount it, as I dont have an anvil with a hardy hole! I have been improving my punching, as the holes have been getting cleaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
