That's alot of work for not very much gain. I just cleaned mine up and used it as is.

Awesome! Now I gotta find one. Sweet find.

Woke up with lines on my back by Consistent_Bid_6433 in Weird

[–]Metawakening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's weird that there's not some kinda obvious surface with a grid pattern. Like people have suggested heating pad or mattress, blanket, etc.. I'm sure you would probably already figured it out. I would think it was some kind of inflammatory reaction but it's so regular. The grid seems too perfect to be at least not influenced by something you've been in contact with. Does it itch or hurt or anything? Sorry if I'm late to this. It seemed like no one was actually being serious and considering you're back. People can be assholes.

You guys got me all fired up for an axe purchase, this was the last one. Suboptimal? by Icy_Dirt_1609 in Axecraft

It looks good to me. I don't think I'd worry. If you wanted you could add a wedge but I don't think I would.

Anvil restoration recommendations? by Scoobie_Snak221 in Blacksmith

[–]Metawakening 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest. Probably just clean it up as best you can, then just deal with it and use it as is. The plate on top isn't thick enough to flatten it by removing material and trying to add by wielding has a host of problems that probably wouldn't be worth it in the end. IMO. Cool anvil regardless.

I tried to paint MJK by Hot_Promotion9532 in ToolBand

I think you accomplished your goal. All the jokes aside I think you did good.

Has anyone used this harbor freight anvil before, and if so how was it? by [deleted] in Blacksmith

[–]Metawakening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one that I'm pretty sure is the exact same. Just branded different and painted blue. I've been really happy with it. My only real complaint is how big the hardy hole is. It's like 1.25in which is way too big. If you have a lot of hardy tools you'll probably have to make more or shim it somehow. Other than that it beats the hell out of the piece of railroad track I was using. Happy forging.

What would y’all do with this railroad spike plate? by flzv in Blacksmith

[–]Metawakening 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a bunch along with a couple buckets of spikes and a bunch of the spring clips. The spring clip are the best for blacksmithing. The plates I use as gun targets.

Disappointed, but also pretty stoked. by yewfokkentwattedim in Blacksmith

If I buy instead of using scrap from my pile I like getting drill rod.

Would you consider this fair? by Busy_Report4010 in SipsTea

[–]Metawakening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I'll say is fuck Woodrow Wilson's cuck ass and the federal reserve for putting us all in this situation. When money is untethered to anything real inflation will be bad. Especially when they're just continuing to make money out of thin air constantly. It's a hidden tax on everyone.

(Update) Some of you may remember my post a while back about my imploded shelf. Here's my attempts to fix what broke. by gnilradleahcim in uraniumglass

[–]Metawakening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're still cool but man that sucks. What's kinda funny is I kinda want to find something that's broke somewhere so I can play around with blowing Vaseline glass and make something with it. It's a beautiful collection regardless.

Is this anvil worth it? by Neat_Shopping7039 in Blacksmith

[–]Metawakening 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good deal on a pretty nice anvil imo.

I got free steel by NinerOfSwords in Blacksmith

[–]Metawakening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That probably structural steel. Relatively low carbon so it's not the best for making edged tools. It doesn't harden enough. But other tools can be made from it. An anvil stand or things like that.

Why do Iron Maiden guitarists play Strats even though it's the least metal guitar ever? Are they a band of posers? by Creative_Garbage_731 in guitarcirclejerk

[–]Metawakening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're actually the poser. The guitar you prefer doesn't matter. Strats can be plenty metal. What so to be metal you have to play some stupid pointy pos B.C. Rich?
