FYI, the modern English usage for “stigma” is as the mark of something negative, like “the stigma of mental illness”. The exception is the plural “stigmata”, which usually refers to the marks from the wounds of Christ’s crucifixion. 55 minutes ago, alexandr said: But as a rule, I forget to use it.

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 There is an old hill folk saying here. Never plant before Mothers day and the oak leaves are as big as squirrels ears. When that weather happens it's beautiful with the Red Buds and Dogwoods in full bloom but kinda hard on the peach blooms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 The saying here is do not plant before May 15. Looked out to see snow falling and a squirrel at the bird feeder with snow landing on his head and tail, and starting to stick to his fur. He seemed to thing an evening meal was more important then the weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAG Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 JHCC, Nice scroll work. You can readily hide the weld by wrapping some iron wire around it, if you so desire. SLAG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 This is just the bending form; the hooks will be one-piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkie Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 If I have a weld like that on a final piece, I stick it back in the coal fire at low heat and the weld all but disappears. It forms sort of thin mill scale or patina. A gas forge probably would not change the weld appearance and not sure what a charcoal fire would do.

ThomasPowers Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 As mill scale depends on heat and exposure to oxygen; all forges including induction ones will cause scale to form if you take the hot piece out of the forge and expose it to air!

Frosty Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Been nice here, the coldest it's been since last Friday is 29f, the highs are running mid to high 50s. It's been above 60 here a couple few times but we're farther from the Inlet than the official thermometer. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAG Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Mr. Frosty, Good Guy, With the present "heat wave", Alaskan citizens can finally thaw out? Is this weather due to 'Global Warming".? Will palm trees soon invade Alaska? Only time will tell. Stay tuned, same time, same station. Sincerity, SLAG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHCC Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 "Stamp", "maker's mark" and "touchmark" are all appropriate terms, although the latter two are specialized enough that translator programs probably wouldn't suggest them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Frosty, please sit down: I had the electrician out here today, he gave me a quote and I pulled the trigger. I figure I can get about 80% of what I want for the money I have allocated. 200 amp breaker box. All 20 amp, 12 ga ,circuits for the 110 and a 30 amp for the 220; plus a welder outlet. lights on a different circuit(s). Code is a bit weird about having an outside light for each mandoor; but that may work in my favour as it would put a circuit to that side of the shop too. All metal conduit. And he said he could run the conduit high on the wall so I wouldn't have to clean out all the stuff to install it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donal Harris Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 That removable front on your trailer looks like it would be handy. The tongue seems to be much longer than any I’ve seen in the States. I assume that is to make the removable front more useable. It was once possible for someone with a shop to make a decent living making utility trailers (decent being subjective.) Now there are large factories churning them out. With the margin so low, that isn’t possible now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
