$100 isn't too bad for the 2" . My pipe is 1.5 so that's the closest fit. Here is what my burner tip looks like. It's not like what is in plans.

I started this a long time ago but just got an anvil. It's this design http://indiangeorgesknives.com/building_a_forge.html. mine is an air tank. I bought the burner elbow section pre-made by someone ( maybe one of you ?) The pics show a longer piece going into the forge than 6"...

Thanks Craig, I'll try that.

I pretty much figured it was going to have to be a file. Question is how do I cut it at 8 degrees?

I'm trying to make my first lockback. Slow process, only have a book to fall back on. How do I cut the blade area that the lockbar goes in at 8 degrees without a mill ? Thanks Dave

knifekit Ive used those for long time. I like the button head 3/16

very nice oldknife. Hope mine comes out half that good. Im struggling with the 8 degree angle..trying to draw it on such a small space. I also think I made the lock release to far back. I got ahead of myself. :)

I went and made a new bolster to replace the one I relieved. It looked bad to me. I straightened the lock out as best I could so it was a nice gradual bend. It doesnt have any travel issues now but now the lock fails when pressure is applied. It locks open as the pressure builds it slips back...

If the lockbar travels outward towards the scale, does that mean the ball is too tall ?With bolster on it hangs closing but no bolster its smooth closing. Thanks DAVE Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk

Hey Tom ! We have emailed a few times on a jig. Its working nicely. Im making it from a book so I can venture out of the design help which uses round. I never can seem to find someone locally that I can watch do it, self taught sucks! :) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk

Is it ok to use nylon washers? Can you buy the wire at a aircraft hobby store? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk

.078 :) I was more asking what is the size we use over here in US for that application. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk

Im trying my first lockback and the plans call for 2mm wire for the spring. Straight not coiled. What is US equivalent? And where do I get it ? Is it pretempered ? Thanks DAVE

Im trying to predrill some blanks to do a strider wrap but never used it before. Not sure what is best way to set it up. Single hole at top and bottom? Or dual holes at bottom Thanks Dave Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk

It looked good as I took it out. Then it went dark by the time I got it all cleaned off and neutralized. I ll try that method and see what happens. thanks Dave

I think it was just straight Ferric. Its a mini prybar and its Heat treated just like a blade.Heated to red healed there for a few minutes then dunked in peanut oil. Double tempered at 400.
