Blighty speak for pounds.

It's possible Check this vid. You use self hardening welding sticks and weld a solid layer all over the top, then grind it flat.

How did you blend the spine pattern into the wood? Did you colour match the resin? Or carve the wood to fit?

Plans can be bought here for £75 https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/942045911/complete-diy-pneumatic-powerhammer-the?click_key=5ad078c3bc3ee4763352712e9946ae107271fcd0%3A942045911&click_sum=7d484da6&ref=shop_home_active_8

Regarding presses, this is a power hammer but it can press as well. Looks cheap and easy to make?

It's a creative itch, and this is the first time in my life I have the financial independence and time to give it a go. Corporate is so full of back stabbing and the requirement to ass kiss and use machevelian strategies to get up the ladder, that I don't think I could go back, even though now...

He does make a good point. But compared to making games where 100k games are made a year and 80% make less than they cost. This is still a niche. I think programs like FIF have increased the number of makers, but I think the audience who want to buy such things has increased hugely because of...

I am lucky enough to have that option. I make Minecraft maps and become a microsoft partner in 2017. I recruited 50 people to work with me, and recruited teams to produce maps and products which I managed and led. I ultimately got the business to a point where I could hire someone to do my role...

I'm very bitter about the corporate world and my current business has been utterly wrecked by corporate policy changes beyond my control. I hope that Blacksmithing will be truly a independent source of income so even if I ever do go fully back to working for the man, I can quit if I want and...

Arg... the 80 quid welding helmet with the air tube was end of line and only available via ebay, annd the ebay seller told me he has to refund me as they ran out of stock as I bought it. So.. bought this instead. The price is creeping up but i'm commited now. This is a grinding helmet as well...

As for the grinder put together. I havent one mine yet, everything is going into a locked toy box once it arrives (big yellow storage) until I can move home. "Think it was bad working for "your dad" imagine working for "his son" :) Boy! That guy! Am I right? :)" Neither of us enjoyed the...

Oh yeah we did! But you see every single bolt was being tightened clockwise. What he was yelling about was the order the nuts were put in.. So you start with the top nut tighten it clockwise, then you do the next bolt to the right again tightening cloockwise. All were done clockwise in terms of...

I'll ditch the "chyna" for sure! All the parts will have arrived by june the 4th. So I'll update further when I actually have something put together.

Now i'm older and wiser, I know my dad probabaly was right (clockwise) but I felt his logic that the wheel tightens the nuts as they spin better if put in clockwise to this day is a mystery answer to me. I don't see the logic. But.. he's normally right on most things, even if his explanation as...

a darn good option. But I've picked this: (and bought it already before I read your post) https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09KGYB824/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I'm going to cut air holes in the back, and pop rivet in a hard plastic box to keep the air space oepn for...

I refunded my original order for a welding helmet, to get this instead: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255437143743 This has a hose in the back and is ready for respirator. All I need to do is hook up my unit. Total cost. 86 for the helmet, 39 quid for the powered filter, and 50 quid in odd...

Any pictures i had from 20 years ago are on some laptop in the dump. I loved being a mechanic, except it was working under my dad, who is a tad.. well he's me but older. And we clashed a lot with him as my boss. I mean we had a 30 minute row about clockwise or anti clockwise screwing in of nuts...

You are a bonified flood of knowledge. Thank you! and yes I will be TIG welding and I always prioritise good penetration ;)
