Cavpilot2k Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 19 minutes ago, George N. M. said: Oooo, very nice. Do you mind saying what you had to give for the Trenton? Something like the cylinder will, IMO, be a better starter anvil than the Centaur rail anvil that someone was just looking at and we were commenting on. "By hammer and hand all arts do stand." I don't mind saying. I did get quite a nice deal on it at $600. I'd expect it worth $1000 at fair market value. I agree on the cylinder. Especially for someone whose main interest is bladesmithing. It's a fantastic bladesmith anvil. Maybe not great for heavy smithing, but small stuff like blades - heck, that thing has more weight and surface area than those NC Anvils lots of newbies start with.

Frosty Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Good score Billy. That's a tin smith's forming hammer, most often used to form and close seams. Nice score on the Trenton Cavpilot and a fair price. Drops like that piece of solid bar are handy to have around. Good bench anvil or starter anvil, it's the king of thing on my BUY list if the price is right. Maybe I should've gone garage saling instead of hammering out a letter opener to finish tomorrow.

If you had got it done then think of all the good rusty sales you could’ve been to by now! I swear Jerry what am I gonna do with you!

Frosty Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Just because I put a little thought into one. You COULD show us YOUR letter opener, that'd learn me. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWISTEDWILLOW Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Don’t worry Jerry imma workin on it right now, not sure how well it’s gonna turn out but I’ll have an entry! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Oh I'm not worried Billy, it's not like you can actually enter the challenge for the fabulous grand prize all expenses paid, world cruise for family and 25 lucky friends. So, it doesn't matter how it turns out, technically YOU can't turn in an "Entry," a letter opener sure and I'll enjoy seeing what you come up with. It just won't be an ENTRY. Frosty The Lucky.

TWISTEDWILLOW Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Cruise?

Cat food not included… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Do note guys Billy didn't dispute the ALL EXPENSES PAID part so airfare, etc. is CONFIRMED part of the prize! Guess I WILL go finish an entry, never been to Peavine, though I HAVE looked at the satellite image. I had to enlarge it 3 times but I did look at it. Frosty The Lucky.

TWISTEDWILLOW Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Never said anything about airfare, there’s more then one way to travel Jerry! Dog sleds, Pickup truck beds, Buses, locomotives, bicycles, camel trains, canoes, car trunks ect… You should really start reading the fine print on applications you fill out!

ThomasPowers Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I've been to Peavine; you haven't missed much; bestest part is that collection of old small engine stuff off the side of the road... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Oh I'm SURE Billy will include such fabulous local attractions in his hay ride or perhaps one of the other adventurous tours he's including as listed above. He must be one of the best tour guides EVER his jokes never miss. Like the one about reading my application. That one will have me grinning all evening, I wrote my application, I know exactly what it says and offers the Lucky winner. Frosty The Lucky.

M.J.Lampert Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 be excellent in a shop just walk to the toolbox pull out a rusty wrench and bite a piece out of it. Of course, this is all to be done in front of the new guy before asking for his ID10-T form and a pipe stretcher. M.J.Lampert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Picked up a little Dayton blower at my local recycling place for $20. Not that I need another blower, but it already had the cord on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Michael, ya done good on that blower. One cost me $60 US about 5 years ago, without a cord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I could fantasize about an unreasonable customer or boss giving me a hard time, walking to my tool box grabbing a rusty tool, biting a chunk off and asking him/er what the problem was. For full effect you need to spell out TEN, writing it "ID10T" is sort of a spoiler. Sending the new guy to Human resources for his "ID ten T" is a good one, save it for after he returns with a gallon of prop wash and parts to repair the lock washer. Probably one of the saddest things about being retired, after no days off of course, is not having new guys to break in. <sigh> Frosty The Lucky.

JHCC Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Picked this up from a local fellow who’d bought it fifteen years ago and never used it. Not a Beverly, but (hopefully) not bad for $65. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
