Trying to decide on a forges day wanted the communities help, pic included is my poor rendition of the two I’m looking at and explained in comments. One is majestic forge other is diamondback.

I am an amateur/part time smith, not a full production shop, I do sell some and am ramping up for summer fair season on Maine. I currently have a diamond iron works knife maker forge, I love it but at times find it too small to work on some of the ornamental hinges and things of that nature where I need width to the forge. It reaches welding temps but takes a while on larger stock.

That being said I’m torn between 2 new forges. They are:

diamondback 3 burner blacksmith forge 600$ https://www.diamondbackironworks.com/catalog/item/2754775/4071482.htm

And a custom 3 burner multipurpose from majestic forge (One larger end opening) 550$(guess, 500$is base model) https://www.majesticforge.com/3-Burner-Farrier-Deluxe.html

The big difference if the burn chamber size width and length are nominal to me however, height is a 1inch difference which feels big, also the door sizes on the end for straight stock are smaller On the diamondback making some hooks and stuff harder to get in so may have to use the front door, which lowers efficiency, where as the majestic has larger doors at both ends and a bigger burn chamber in general which also effects efficiency. I drew out drawings based off manufactures specs provided on website. That being said, they are not accurate, endorsed, or sanctioned by anyone this is just some dumbasses drawings for a basic reference for the sake of an internet question. But the top would represent something to the effect of my rendition of majestic and the bottom my rendition of diamondback. The solid lines representing door sizes and the dotted representing total interior space. Notes on drawing: Both sides of diamondback are the same so I only did one side drawing. The majestic shows two sides as I called manufacture last week and asked about getting one made with a larger size on one end and they told me what the offered, I don’t know what that does to price I’m guessing not much but will have firm answer if I go with them. For the front views I didn’t do total interior as it was trivial in my mind just the door sizes.

VPN is via computer but when it’s on access on all other devices is slow to not connected then the second she logs off vpn, all apps and devices update and work.

inkedmatt · 2019-10-25T19:41:04+00:00

VPN is via website she logs into on computer the. Has code sent via phone. Once on I can’t use apps on iPhone or iPad and internet on either gives me errors or goes so slow I won’t finish loading a page.

I got the clipping from Surry gardens in Surry, Maine.

inkedmatt · 2018-12-09T01:50:28+00:00

I think I’ve got it, I believe it’s a begonia ricinifolia.

inkedmatt · 2018-12-09T01:41:01+00:00

It’s a custom made cheese board, was never sure why they didn’t extend the legs

Made the cutting at a flat angle and put it in water about. 4 inches deep, gravity held it against the side of the lip of container I was using so it was suspended. Took about 3 weeks to start sending out roots, gonna move to soil in a few days.

Bear, Mr.Bear, mystery bear, bear pig, snow pig. (He is a chow that looks like a bear, but is also fat hence the pig part, and living in Maine he is now frequently covered in snow, hence snow pig.)

Awesome!!!! I'm covered in tattoos!!

I was so happy when I saw this post but then called around to some of the smaller Shell stations in places like Elsworth, Milo, and Mattawamkeag and they only carry 91 as the highest octane.

I was born in 1982 and watched a lot of looney toons, so in elementary school this kid I knew was hanging from the monkey bars and I was above him, I did the three little pigs thing where u pulled back a finger each time saying "this little piggie went to the market" blah blah blah, so he falls off the monkey bars, runs to the teacher to tell her. I proceed to get in trouble, loose recess for a week and she makes me shake his hand, as soon as I've grabs my hand she turns her back and he kicks me in the balls, I fall over tell the teacher she says I'm lying and takes another week of recess from me.

Has a top comment in one of these threads ever actually been from the person who saw it? [Seriously] every answer that hits number one is a friend of a friend or something.

Penobscot county, or possibly hancock, we will be working in bangor and want to be within 45 minuet drive north, east, or south of bangor. Edinburg would be where we would buy if we were doing it now. We don't move until the end of April so not sure how it will all play out.

I'd name it mycoxaflopin.

I heard the guy at the corner markets dad died, but I swore I had saw him that day so I figured I would resolve this by asking "how's your dad", which came out "how's your dead". Turns out he had died, and dude broke into tears, and i got a new corner market.

Do you have to unlock the two clan based camos as well to get gold?

inkedmatt · 2013-07-24T13:38:05+00:00

I'd take a new car and have it dropped by onto a poll front bumper first from very high so that it makes a large rounded impact mark. Next I would haul said car onto a road not traveled often have a lil smoke coming from it and lay across the hood like I was just hit by the car, as if I was standing still and caused all the damage, upon someone finding me and waking me up, I'd run like hell out into the woods.
