I am not sure if I missed it but I done see where your talking about the link to click on?:picard: Are you talking about the main forum or a post...
I remember saying that you have only been making the knives out of mild steel. Have you checked any scrape yards in your area. I know that I have...
I really like that! Both knives are nice and I am sure going to be beautiful when finished! I wish that my son's would show a little bit of...
Is that a homemade splitter? If so we'd like to see some more pictures!
I understand. Thats the best part about redneck engineering, making do with what you've got. Nothing to be ashamed about that. :dex::thumbs::D
If you're cylinder setup was like the ones in the pictures I think it would be more stable with a little more beef at the end!
This is what I was talking about in these pictures. These ends already forged as a part of the cylinder. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
To bad that your cylinder wasn't set up so you could put a pin through it to attach it to the plate, similar to how a clevis works.
I'd think so. Beef it up so it doesn't tweak as much, plus make it so it rides on the lip of the beam so it can't tweak. You could do that with...
The only thing is that when you heat it to straighten it you are going to take the temper out of the steel (losing the case hardness) it will make...
You could turn that 051 into a 075 (111cc) you just need a piston and cylinder you can get aftermarket ones fairly cheap. You just won't have the...
X2:popcorn::popcorn:
Could you get a different piston that has a different hookup at the end of it that many be a little more beefy?
Welcome from across the pond Pazora. I love the pictures you posted!:thumbs::dex: I think you'll grow to love this site. There is a lot of great...
It looks like a locust to me.
Amen brother I like to hear stuff like that!:thumbs:
I also hate to deface an old wrench as well. I have seen something similar in my blacksmithing books that you use square stock. Here's a picture....
I have a Craftsman set up (like a Dremel) I have the adapter that goes into the power unit. It's about 3 1/2 ft long and you can use it like a...
That is exactly what I plan on doing. But one problem I only have one wrench like the one in your picture but it's a smaller one. I'd like to get...
Yeah I suppose that poler will last him for years to come. I also like the reverse twist. Any time I put a twist on something it's somewhat of a...
