Beautiful work!!

Got the regulator rebuild kit today!! When on without a hitch. Worked GREAT! Now I have 2 sets of torches!!

I know little to nothing about the calibration end of it. I know there are companies that can calibrate it but its very expensive. After trying what Taz suggested if you know the calibration blocks are correct and the correct scale maybe you could move the label where the dial is? Someone...

Ive been thinking a lot about this thread. I know that as far as an anvil goes bigger is better, but obviously budget trumps that!! We are making knives for the most part a cast steel smaller anvil with a good base would work fine. Look at Bosses anvil he makes or the Atlas anvil more or less...

My Peter Wright belonged to my Dad he gave it to me about 5 years ago. I have it in my basement mainly because a few years back someone was breaking into garages and stealing whatever they could. I didn't want to risk loosing it. I would bring it up forge put it back a real PITA. When I got the...

I have and old 128LB Peter Wright and I bought a Bauer 66LB cast steel one. A little lighter than you wanted but not a bad anvil for the price IMO! I think i bought it for $89 on sale?? It was a steal for what i paid! I got it manly to go to shows so I could move it easily. Never did any shows...

Im no anvil expert im gonna throw this in the mix. Check out the J Nielson Knife Makers anvil. Has some knife builder features built into it. Seems like a decent anvil and last I knew it was about $1100. Black Bear Forge did a review on it on YouTube. It's 110 pounds.

Well. I found the rebuild kit for the regulator. No issues punched in model number and BOOM!! 15 different kits popped up, $15 delivered to me! Im kinda ticked off at the welding supply store. Told me they didn't make the repair kit anymore. Im sure the one I got is an aftermarket brand, but I...

Hooked everything up. Put the Rosebud tip on handle (mine are old Victor torchs, one of the reasons I got the Fourny they have "Victor" style torch handles). At first I thought they shorted me on the check valves but after reading the destructions it says there built into the regulators (not...

Well I got the torches yesterday gonna try and get them hooked up today but have other things going on so will see. The kit looks decent but I guess time will tell!

Kinda figured that the other Victor set i looked at was more than double that! Love to but I dont do enough with the torch to really justify that!

So this is what I ended up buying. My torches are old 1 regulator leaking second probably not far from. Can't get rebuild kits for the regulators i was told by welding supply store guy? The hoses are checked and i dont have any check valves on the torch body. Figured by the time I got hoses...

And they just did a redesign version 2.0 uses a different controller on the electronics that seems more capable, less money and easier to flash! Im not scared of the mechanical part its the computer end of it!

Im torn between something like that or the JD Garage one?? Again dont know if it will ever happen but will see??

Oxygen regulator is leaking badly. I tried to get a rebuild kit for it. Welding supply store told me they dont have/make a rebuild kit for the regulator I have (bought them at an auction years ago and there were years on them!) anymore because its to old. So im actually considering just buying...
