This seems to be the very case in point of why it's too expensive to buy cheap tools.

Sorry bout your loss anyway.

Oh yea - and some AL sutton hoo shield fittings cause my shield is hurting for a face lift. Bronze ones once the Patterns are correct and functional but I'm a wuss and will stick with the Al cause I wanna keep my shield on a diet. I'm like a six year old with a new toy!

Stuff I have done in the past has been lost wax, sand, and some enamaling. I need to get spooled back up again for enamalling but I have a big desire to make shiney coloured things.

ok so there it is with the roof and door in place. the hole in the roof can be sealed to save heat in forge mode which why there is a huge hole in the door. or the door can be sealed to save heat when in foundry mode. and at first start up you can see the happy little blue flame through the forge ha...

round toe regardless of toggle position would be better IMHO. the low shoe looks great otherwise.

Adric13

used to have the forge and foundry in the basement - neither was an issue with proper air flow and venting - gas regs normally call for 50 cu feet of fresh air space for every 1000 btu of burn output and you prolly have no freaking clue what your btu output (cause i didnt either) so we made sure the...

Adric13

why cant you just sweat it like copper fittings? what would happen if you only flux the back side of the cheek flap, push some shavings of silver solder in the channel, push the channel on the cheek piece and heat the channel along the edge so the solder only flows further into the channel and then ...
