R.C.Edmondson Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Heres a couple of finds from recent trips to the junk yard down the road, Most are A.S.O's but a few good old saw blades and one huge piece of stainless steel. The stainless steel rod is 4 inches in diameter and around 6 foot long and weighs 208 pounds, Got any idea what to do with it? Enjoy,Godbless, also pictured my homemade forge and another forge I found for free and tried to repair, repairs still in progress,Charlie also the steel rods are all 5160 steel, I need to get to makin knives!!!!!

Thomas Dean Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Good haul! Looks like you have treadle hammer makin's with all the 4" bar! That, IMO, would be the best use for it. Knives from the 5160 and also tongs, punches, and other tooling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
