It has been repaired at the step at the back of the horn for about 2.5" or so and like a 1/2" thick. A rectangular chunk broke off it is all. Width of the surface x 2.5" long x 1/2" thick. I think that it is my old Blacksmith Buddy's Dad's anvil that I beat on back in the early '60's when I...

I am guilty of driving up to the great big, "Flea Market", at Rutledge, MO to buy used hand tools! Here.... About Us - Rutledge Flea Market http://www.rutledge-fleamarket.com/about-us.html The flea market is held on the second weekend of each month from March through October, and the first...

I'm in Columbia, MO! The above post vice, (45491), is really what I want if I can find one! But I will take a good steel vice like asked about. You can beat on a post vice with a 10 pound sledgehammer and not hurt it! I had one back in HS as a kid along with my crank forge, post drill, and...

Please tell me if/where I can buy a decent "CHEAP" vice made out of either real cast-steel or ductile-iron. A brand and price range please.... One that swivels with about 3" or 4" jaw width is all for my workbench. I read not to buy the CHEAP HFT cast gray-iron vices because they break too...

They have almost quit with the free air, air-hose around here! In fact, I don't know where on eis at except for bicycles over on UMC's campus. It's just north of the Student Commons back door.. pdq67

As stupid as this sounds, hit the big flea markets and see if you can't replace what you need. And probably at way decent prices. I have. I like to go up to the "Great Big" Rutledge, MO Flea Market a couple of times a year if I can. Sucker has more stuff there than you would think can be...

I have poured refractory castable that is vibrationless and self-leveling in the past. And it doesn't separate while pouring!! The stuff mixes up like a 1/2 melted milkshake. I don't know if you can buy a mix like this or not that is made out of portland cement?? The stuff I poured was made...

I didn't read this whole thread so if I am repeating something, please bear with me. If you dig deep enough, you will find that EPA actually say's that E85 will drop your mpg by over 20 percent!!! I want to say right at a 22 percent drop!! And it has to be burned in FFV's so the computer can...

I found a place on the web selling new Wilton #11104 vices. Ad say's they are made of steel, but is it really and not ductile or cast iron?? I want something I can "mildly" beat on with a medium sized ballpein hammer if I want to so will it take a beating?? I would dearly love to have another...

My long gone good Buddy hunted up a V-4 refrigeration compressor in a boneyard and hooked it to two tall propane tanks. He ran it for years. I forget what the electric motor was?? Cheap way to do this. pdq67

Just found this place after webbing for info about 2-speed rear ends. Glad to be here. I usually hang out over on Speedtalk, Yellowbullet and some on The HAMB. I dearly love the little, short-stroke SBC engines of old so if I may be of help, please ask. pdq67 PS., oh, and btw, I have a...

Hello everybody from ol' pdq67. 1st time over here. I generally hang out at Speedtalk and Yellowbullet. I was webbing about 2-speed rear ends and found everybody so here I am. I want to mention as I have on the other Boards that back in 1969, in the car mag issue that had the 1969 Hugger...
