I might be moving to alaska next year, just curious about property around where im looking, s. Bald mountain/talkeetna area

Best bits i ever had are made by a place called viper

I would also like to know where you got it, if you dont mind.

Clean it really good with carberator or brake clean, rinse with water, then let sit in the forge till it stops burning the junk off. Heat it some more and try to weld a small section. If its clean after that it should weld up

can't wait for part 2

I like em, could never use them though. I tend to find every snag in whatever body of water.

He said he was sure its 304, i was thinking of forging gaurds from it

So my brother in law is welding pipe and they work with stainless steel, he gave me a bunch of round stock. I need to ideas for stuff to do with it, if i make a blade from it, what do i need to know?

Yea i got that message too, now i cant get my money:(

They work great on fish, thats about it though.

The burner is just 2 pieces of schedule 40 pipe, the inner being flared out to seal against the inlet on the forge, bruce bump sells them for around $20 i think or build your own with a steel ball bearing and a press

Here is my blown gas forge, made from a grill tank,http://www.bladesmithsforum.com/index.php?showtopic=32007&view=&hl=&fromsearch=1

Yea free, they were just going to throw it away, if ibhad time i would have did some dumpster diving for all the random jigs that got tossed out

M189 A9279 are on the feet

It was used by the local school district to descale equipment they had, they supposedly also used to clean up some aluminum tanks The anvil, i can see a diamond shape and just barely make out trenton, cant find a wieght on it
