My Gus came down with bloat Christmas Eve and had to rush him to the emergency vet in Toledo Oh for surgery . This came on with no warning and he may need your prayers.

In , This type of gesture is why this is the best forum going.

Thanks Jeremy , its my first cable and it has quite a learning curve.

After a quick sanding and an etch I think it will come out ok , this is only sanded to 400 grit just wanted to see if it was worth the effort .

Here is a piece of the billet , I forged it out then cut it in half and placed a piece of 15N20 in the middle . Forged it out again and here we are , I can see some small inclusions but I am hopping they go away as I grind the blade , I am keeping in mind that this is a learning process, but...

This buck was taken in my back yard , I live on 10 acres . by my neighbor's son. The knife pix is the hunter I gave him a few years ago , it was from a spring I posted a pix of some time back.

I have been driving a 2004 F 150 for 16 years , its been a good truck but its time it goes over the rainbow. I picked up a 2019 Ram Big Horn today and love it. My wife thought it was funny that I had so many errands to run today.

That's a good idea , 15n20 would stand out nicely , I will have to think that over.

If the welds look good I am going to forge it out ,cut it in half and forge a piece of 1075 between the two half's. It will be a kind of Cable Damascus San Mai. LOL

I have wanted to try some cable damascus and a friend of mine ,who has a cable company, gave me a 6 Ft length of 1.5'' cable so here we go . I am trying a 6'' chunk first figuring I'd make my mistakes on it first . In the pix I have forged it out to 8'' and now I will cut it into pieces to see...

Yes , vertical

This is the last item before the first weld , wanted it to be adjustable up and down and easy to swing out of the way . It will except up to a 3/4 '' rod .

That's what I thought as well , the Old Timer was in the worst shape . I had to do a little hand sanding but just enough . The Camillus is new the old protective oils had turned into varnish.

A friend of mine who I show Leonbergers with had some old folders that belonged to his dad . He wanted to give them to his adult sons but they were in bad shape so I told him to send them to me and I would do what I could. When I received them I took a look and thought what did I get myself into...

Well had to show off my hi-tech saw its about the same age as I am. Its from the Carolina Equipment Co. It converts to vertical but the old table was gone so I made one simple.

Thanks guys always the best info.

Does anyone running a blown forge have an idea of the flow rate for their needle valve , now I know it is related to pressure but its also related to the orifice size of the valve . I am having to open my needle all the way to achieve welding temp at 6 psi,

$55 that includes Michigan's 6% sales Tax ,if I were to go to the propane bulk supplier it would be less. I have been thinking of going to a 250 gal tank.
