D.C. Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 135# Peter Wright, 98# Peter Wright, 72# & 74# Kohlswas. What's harder to see is the Canadian Blower company rivet forge with matching blower, a Thompson blower, and a champion 400. Plus some tongs!!!

D.C. Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Yeah I feel pretty fortunate. I finally started trying to find tools as I travel and this is my biggest haul to date. This evening I'm heading out to look at another rivet forge, some vises and blowers. Then back home to Wyoming!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.C. Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 The trick isn't much of a trick. It's basically the TPAAAT. I spoke with people, who forwarded to me more people, who then gave my name to other people...who then called me. Seriously I spoke to at least 20 different people...none of whom sold me anything...before being contacted by 2 guys who heard I was looking to buy. The result: Everything that's been listed plus today's haul consisting of 2 and a half Columbian leg vices Another rivet forge 18" flat belt powered grinding wheel. I'll get pics of everything when I get home tomorrow...wait..It's already tomorrow..whatever...more pics on the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergely Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 These hammers followed me home from the first fleamarket of the spring. The ball peen in this size is a real gem around here. The other is a rare shape here, too. The claw peen is Vaughan, made in USA. The ball peen has some writing on it: WOOD/WORLD maybe, I can't tell. And something like: M-32. I don't know what these mean - does it ring a bell at the other side of the pond? Bests: Gergely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Last Friday a very nice MP Farriers 90lb anvil followed me home. My wife is in love with it (knew she would be). Now she has her own anvil. The bonus is that's how I found this site by googling MP anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I wanted to chop the bark & moss off but my wife liked it. It's her anvil soooo it stayed. Fits right in with the messy shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once it dries out, you grind it up and use it as the secret ingredient in your forge welding flux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if it was designed for a specific purpose, but most likely it was. I have one just like it, made by Brades. I have used it as a hammer and as punch/drift with a sledge...nobody said I couldn't! Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 It looks similar to what I know say a coal hammer, my grandad used one for smashingle up the largest bits for the fire. He was a mineral not a Smith. xxxx auto predict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
