Joe (chisel) just dropped this off. It is around 150" x 1" cable that he got for no. It looks like we will be selling cable billets.

I might be getting a h-frame 30ton press for FREE, My brother is working on it for me. I figure that is a good part of my press right there. The bottle Jack is broken so the company might just throw away the whole thing. Cheaper to get a new one is there motto!

George, ya gotta keep yer eye on joe all the time.

Rene, if you get that press, here's a place with a lot of surplus hydraulics.

Rene; That will be cool, all you have to get is the hydraulics on the spread sheet that I sent you and make dies. I still think I would go with a 5" cylinder, the only problem the ram speed will be a little slower, unless you go with a bigger pump and motor.

good going Joe
I.G. did you get to use the R/R spikes I gave you
yet?

indian george · May 12, 2002

Dan: Not yet. 4 of them will be going on Joe's forge for legs, that we will be building.

Dan Gray · May 12, 2002

well,, they will live on to help make many
more knives

hey take one of the others and pound me out a spike if you would and
we'll start a collaboration knife, one of a few I hope
the spike is a B&A R R spike from right here in town.
,clang them together and hear the High carbon sing.

Can someone please tell a newcomer like me just what is so special about this cable steel. I'm still carving my blades out of a sawmill saw blade 8 foot long. I have a lot to learn about forging.

indian george · May 13, 2002

dartanyon; the cable is forged weld and made into a blade, used for blosters and etc. It does make a pretty knife.
Dan: I'll weld some cable up and grind a blade and you can finish it. It will be NECKA 1st collaberation.

George,
I got the press I told you about delivered this morning.
It's it good shape, a few adjustment holes where a little out of round so my brother welded some steel plate around the holes and drilled new holes, every thing works fine. I'm so excited.....well now it will be just a matter of time!!

Rene: Take a pic, let me see what it looks like. It is a H frame???
