1 and 2 are the Milling attachment for the lathe. Usually sell on eBay for 200-300 bucks or more depending on condition. Since I had a milling machine, and not alot of cash I sold the one I had with my Southbend for $275.

while returning from Savannah GA , I came across a road side yard sale, the fellow had mostly junk on a table and a large chunk of metal holding the awning down from blowing avay. Turns out it was ana anvil, about 90 pounds( Henry Wright). I picked it up for 80 bucks ! the trip couldn't have turned out any better, I was over there getting my Christmas present a 8x12 lathe from HF. Sweet christmas for me. Here are some picks of the lathe in my shop. and some of the anvil nailed to a stump. I never heard of henry wright , is he any relation to peter? Sorry my pics are too big .

iof anyone wants to see the picks I can email them to you they are to large

When you post to the IForgeIron Gallery, it takes the large photos and automatically resizes them for the gallery, plus gives you a thumbnail image AND a thumbnail link that can be used in the forum. Like Finnr said, post to the gallery and use key words so the search engine can locate the images.

A pre-1800s anvil followed me home:D from an old barn in Steele, AL you can see when the heel and horn were welded back on after they were choped/broken of at the end of the civil war to help in the hinderance of tool production.

Nice to have such friends ! You are lucky

Just got home from the scrap yard and found these in the back of the van! Got a sprocket for some small swageing, a couple of pickaxes, looks like a jack hammer blade, big forged hook, a small piece of spring steel and a bit from a big lathe.

the pictures are , Picture_019,018,0122,0101,0032,0042,0093,0013,0131, hope this works

if that did not work seach the gallery under rods8833

I keep getting an Invalid URL message

and a bit from a big lathe.

any chance the big lathe is still lurking around somewhere at the scrapyard? I found an old LaBlonde once at the scrap recycling place in Eureka, IL. It was around a 12 or 14x36 or so and the guy only wanted 200 bucks for it. Only problem was that there was no tailstock and chances of finding one seemed mighty slim. It ALMOST followed me home:(

I didn't see it anywhere, it was on a shelf with some odds and ends. One of the guys said to look him up next time I go, he had some tool steel, possibly some Chrome Moly from some machine that I might be interested in.

Now, what could I make from Chrome Moly...............................

Toaster oven free from work, a little old and dirty for the company kitchen, but should be perfect for tempering, and my wife will appreciate not having the kichen oven smell like burnt oil or whatever 8)

Hey Goatman:

Where do you live?

Frosty who raises Pygmies in Ak.

Frosty;
I raised a Pigmy Billy Goat. He was just like having a well trained dog, but could jump much higher.
He always wanted to go with me everywhere I went. So he went with me most of the time. One of his favorite thing to do was to sit in the passenger seat of my truck and look out the windows.
When I could, I even took him to work. Like I say, he acted just like a well behaved dog.
Then one day we were riding along and I noticed that he was eating something.
He was chewing my paycheck that I had placed in the cigarette ash tray.
This proves to me that I had to be smarter than a pigmy goat if I wanted a pay check!
Glad to hear from you, and Thanks for the delightful photos.

Sounds like a wether rather than a buck to me Ted. Nobody with working nasal apparatus would allow an intact buck in the cab of their truck unless it was a real emergency.

Of course there's no accounting for taste so. . .

Pygmies have great personalities and if they don't have goat buddies will bond to people like a puppy. Among the many metaphors used to describe them, "puppy dogs with hooves" is a common one.

A pasture full of pygmy kids spronking around will put a smile on anybody's face.

I live in York County, PA. "Goatman" Isn't the best name for me anymore; I had one goat that came with the house I bought, but he died of old age three years ago! O well...

Once a Goatman always a Goatman. Too late for hope now.

Sounds like you really need a couple more. Goats are herd animals and really need a buddy of the same species though they will adopt others.

Somehow this 18 inch diameter saw blade used for cutting concrete found it's way into the back of my car and followed me home.

a 1939 model 415c southbend lathe....no motor or belts but it did have 70 yrs of gunk and a lousy paintjob covering it....at the moment its all torn down and sitting in the parts cleaner for a complete inspection and rebuild and new paint is definately in the works

btw...the best part of it was that it was FREEEEEEE:)

Forgot about this thread..

This followed me home a few weeks ago.. I only say followed cause it was in my trunk. No clue what it was used for. Head appears to have "CRAMP" stamped on it. Handle was around 26" long. I need to recut the handle cause it was not holding the head tight and was split in a few spots. Probably make it 15"



Also happened on a new Hobart Acetylene/LP regulator for $25. Just need a hose and it should make for a nice propane regulator for the forge I don't have.
