Bummer on not finding it until you got a new setup - I guess you could always return to Amazon. They brag about how easy it is to return stuff. I've got a couple of old regulators I need to look for a repair kit for. Like you, I'd just "assumed" it wasn't feasible to repair such an old...

Hello ya'll. I'm looking at purchasing an anvil. Both are in the 100 lb range. The left is what's called Italy style, notice how long the rear portion with the holes is? Pretty thin which doesn't seem like that would be good for hammering on. BUT - most of the hammering/forging would take...

This looks like the set you got? https://a.co/d/2UaJN8C Looks like a VERY good set for the money. You did good. You questioned where the kit you ordered was manufactured - looks like China: "Forney acetylene torches and related accessories are manufactured in multiple locations, including...

If you only need the regulators here a set for $65: https://a.co/d/eEIIQ2U Here's a complete set for $110: https://a.co/d/dr78cTg I sure do like those short Amazon links.

I just looked up the JD CNC plans - NICE. and $25 for plans are cheap

I guess there are times when the torch is more convenient than the plasma cutter for cutting? I was expecting with a plasma cutter it would keep me from ever using my torch. BUT - I actually use the torch as much for heating metal as I do for cutting. I wish I could offer some advice on a...

We were talking about CNC'ing the plasma cutter - today I stumbled across this video on setting one up - seems like a good and very doable project.

The cheap forges I've looked on Amazon leave a good bit to be desired. My thinking is MUCH better to build your own forge - forced air for sure. I've had both, ventura and currently forced air. Better by far. Also by building the burner can be angled sorta "down and rearward" to get full...

I zoomed in on the top and it does look a bit different than propane tank. Propane tank is the first thing that popped into my mind, lots more familiar with them than refrigerant tanks. Still good job

That's pretty slick - you took a flat sheet metal, cut the pattern, painted the inside black, the outside orange, then Nope, it looks like old propane gas cylinders you cut out? Now that's thinking!

Ordered and should be delivered in the next day or so. Thanks for the info

Good looking San Mai, and with 52100 core that should hold a good edge. Congrats on a job well done.

Is this scotch spray mount what you're referring to? https://a.co/d/gxJNSKm

Impressive, and I'm impressed at the price also. Isn't this the one you have: https://a.co/d/d2aZEBi I just spent a few minutes (more than a few:) understanding the difference between the 55A vs 55P vs 55XP and for the $50 or so extra the 55XP sure seems the way to go. Boy, I'd LOVE to order...

Did you get a manual with the oven? Especially a manual for the controller Here's a link to the pdf file for the controller - I think it's the one you have, even though it says Paragon, the controller still looks the same. https://shorturl.at/0ff2y Here's a video for programming the controller:

With no maker's mark you're going to have a really hard time ID'ing the maker of those knives. As far as value, anybody's guess. Posting to a "Mountain Man" type of forum would be best bet. Rendezvous type settings would be the ideal market for those.

You did yourself proud there - the way the lines flow, the spacer in the handle, bolster..... It's all very nice.

Here's a quote from the other side on the knife: "Not issued, but not junk either. A fancier version of the issued knife. Nice piece, use and enjoy it." Sounds like it was never issued to military, but is a good copy of the issued KA-BAR knife. Use it and be proud of it.

I posted this knife into to another forum and got these photos. That's for sure the knife. Now, was that actually issued to military? OR, was it a knife made for civilian use? Notice it doesn't have KA-BAR on it that I see. edit: A comment was made that it was for sure civilian, NOT military.

Thanks Bob, that's good knowledge from an AI source. I went to Gemini and asked a question: " Conversation with Gemini I asked: "did the Ka-Bar USMC knife have COMBAT on the blade?" Gemini replied: The blade of a authentic, modern Ka-Bar USMC knife does not have "COMBAT" on the blade...
