Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I really appreciate it. :nrocks: --- Quote from: awemawson on March 10, 2016, 06:46:18 AM ---Ironbridge - the actual cast iron bridge itself - is an excellent example of woodworking joints being applied to a (then) new technology - after all Ironbridge was the heart of the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution. http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/iron-bridge/ --- End quote --- If I ever jump over the pond, I’d love to check that out. Thanks for sharing that. --- Quote from: Brass_Machine on March 10, 2016, 09:23:17 AM ---And suddenly, that new TIG welder seems a lot closer now... :headbang: --- End quote --- Yes,it is. As long as I get the mig. :wave: --- Quote from: RobWilson on March 10, 2016, 02:45:42 PM ---I am mightily impressed :bow: :bow: :bow: thats a cracking forge you have made their :dremel: I also like the workmanship you have done on the trivet , cracking job :thumbup: Rob --- End quote --- Thanks, Rob. Love that coal forge you have going, too. :bow: --- Quote from: DMIOM on March 10, 2016, 03:49:47 AM --- :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: and you can now do this :hammer: to metal, not Eric! :coffee: Look forward to seeing the fruits of the new forge in its new workshop. Can see a race developing as to who has the best collection of hammers between Victoria and Rob Wilson! Dave --- End quote --- Haha and thanks, Dave. I’ve got a hammer with Eric’s name on it. LOL I’m sure Rob has me beat in the hammer department, but not for long. *whistling* --- Quote from: PekkaNF on March 10, 2016, 05:58:41 AM ---First I was thinking also dovetails and such and why not? That sort of stuff was used to fabricate wood/metal planes. Looks really nice too. I would like to attend that sort of activity too. Here we have only knife blade forging lessons (usually a gun smith is giving those lessons). Pekka --- End quote --- You should! You wouldn’t regret it. :thumbup: --- Quote from: tom osselton on March 10, 2016, 04:27:48 PM ---Very nice do you paint the inside of the forge with zircon paint or other refractive coating? --- End quote --- Actually, I don’t know if it was coated beforehand because I just assembled it after the fact. But it’s a good question that I’ll ask the instructors when I see them next. :scratch: --- Quote from: PekkaNF on March 11, 2016, 01:45:38 AM ---Nice looking forge. Will it have a bar on the front? I mean that kind of raised bar that when you heat the blade you can rest blade tang there to keep the blade off the forge "floor". Pekka --- End quote --- Well, the bar you see just below the opening is a saddle that moves in/out about 10 -12 inches, so it could feasibly properly rest a blade. Speaking of that, I just signed up to take a Damascus knife making class in September. So I'll let you know how well it works with knife making. :ddb: --- Quote from: Divided he ad on March 12, 2016, 06:48:40 PM --- That looks great... Trivet that is. Where is the trivet for? Kitchen or workshop? --- End quote --- Kitchen or table. I'm eager to make a casserole or something, just so I have a reason to use it. :lol: --- Quote ---The forge looks awesome! I want one :palm: :) --- End quote --- Come back, take the class, and you can return home with it. :beer: --- Quote ---Good luck with all future projects Ralph. --- End quote --- Thank ya, Ralph. :thumbup: |

Well, firstly I'm expecting something like this to be sorted and posted (as a blank) to me for the purpose of knife making. November will be fine. Give you a month or so to practice after your course :thumbup: http://www.kevincaseycustomknives.com/process/68/feathered-w-pattern-tutorial.html Secondly..... --- Quote ---Come back, take the class, and you can return home with it. :beer: --- End quote --- 2017, hopefully about August time I will be roaming the US of A.... Not any great plan yet.... except the Eclipse. But I'll definitely let you know :) ..... Not too sure about getting a gas forge in the overhead storage though! :scratch: :lol: Thirdly.... --- Quote ---Kitchen or table. I'm eager to make a casserole or something, just so I have a reason to use it. :lol: --- End quote --- Well, at least it's functional.... Most of my stuff has only trinket value :lol: Can't wait to see what you make :proj: :D Ralph. |
