If you get in touch with your power company they may send an energy saver kit filled with LEDs to help keep your bill down. The wife did that and now we have led floods and bulbs all over the house and shop

Good to hear your doing good and can keep sharing wisom with us longer. If I knew then what I know now, I would have bought the electric motor and wheels to build a 2x72 grinder. Instead of the stuff to build a vacuum chamber for stabilizing that sat and didn't get used at all.

I have seen some "hobo knives" as they were called by some like that. I had one when I was a kid but in moving and deploying it got lost. I'm just repeating the name I have heard/read them called. There is an actual name for sure but they were the original survival knife...

Np, is what this forums for. keep us posted.

Dan, if you make a butt cap that has either a threaded portion or an insert/nut there would be a solid brass looking cap, when it in turn has the threads to tighten up. A thick piece of flat brass that has a hole drilled a size smaller than the tap, then tap the threads for your threaded piece...

Its just a propane heater, not a forge. Hahahahahaaa. I don't know how one could survive that type of enviroment since Im a country kid. Privacy fence, and a large flame resistant/retardant work area? Best of luck

When using cactus juice on end does work better because the direction of the grain allows the air to be removed easier as you found out. I got a jug and am building my chamber and testing it today on some partial punky live oak. Is going to be a long time in the chamber Im sure. Lol. What did...

Thanks Tony, Im gonna try to build a brake drum forge after i get this cleaned up and fixed so it holds oil. If I remember right there was a restoration thread on here. From what I have found in 15min of research its a Tiger forge blower. My grandfather is sending things us grandkids will use...

My christmas present from my grandfather, if I understood right is my great great grampas forge blower. Needs a lil tlc but still works noisily, which is leading me to believe its dry indside, no oil to speak of. So if any of the wise sages of forging have any advice on how to rehandle...
