Hello Dennis,

My take on Wayne's question is possible reference to the air gun. It looks like the nozzle has been taken off and then a hose has been threaded onto the gun's base so it can deliver air into a portable furnace to heat the metal up for blacksmithing. Well that is my guess anyway

Kind Regards

I always admire your anvil in your postings. Is that DIY or is it commercial? I looked up homemade anvils (as you do) and spent a good 20 minutes admiring various efforts - mostly made from old railway track. Slightly upsetting as I left a good length of same in a previous property , not thinking that it would ever be of much use! Duh!! Fascinating stuff.


cheers,
D

My take is Wayne means the L shaped tool he is making, with the riveted cross piece.
The pistol looking thing is a welding torch.
I bought one years ago when it was called a Dillon.

Your spot on Keith, cant work out what you wod use it on a tie rod.

The 'L' shaped bar that I heated and peened over is the operating to engage the PTO, the shaft that the knob screws on was wobbling all over the place, I would have thought that maybe, it would have been threaded onto the shaft but the parts book doesn't show it like that at all, so I got out my oxy/acetylene torch (I have 2 types) as it was nearest the shed door, laid it on it's side after lighting up, held in place with a 2.5kg lump of lead ( I have heaps of lead ingots that I use to cast bullets) I had to do it this way as my T/A wasn't home.
On the threaded rod where the knob goes I made a collar threaded 7/16"BSF to protect the thread and also to sit square on the anvil while I belted the hot end to peen it over, it is all done now, cheers Dennis
ps next job will be to make a propellor shaft for the PTO,,.
