| SwarfnStuff:
Thanks, I don't own one and most likely never will. But the two videos were really good to watch. Once again I learn stuff which is why I love this forum. Sure beats standing for ages with a ball-pein hammer tapping away at a lump of copper - (or was it brass? bit foggy on that.) during my Tech School Daze of 60 odd years past. Heat, quench, and do it again, and again, and again. End result was a sugar bowl that got a high pass mark. Hooray, mum thought I did well. No idea where it ended up after the family home was sold though. Sigh, thanks for another trip down memory lane again! John B |

My grandad (a blacksmith with the LMS in Abergavenny) taught me how to turn the old copper ball cocks into 2 copper flower pot holders. He also taught me everything I know about hand tools! |

Will, I have an enormous - possibly 18 " or even 20" - not measured it, copper ball cock float from an old storage tank here on the farm - what do you reckon he would have done with that :bugeye: |

If you are under 60 or easily offended please? DO NOT FOLLOW this link: http://www.threaded.com/engineers_song.htm So you now have the two brass balls! |
