I jumped on twitch to see what you were doing, but apparently you didn't leave it in for long, so I followed you. The small sledgehammer video was pretty cool, though from the angle of the camera it looked like you missed a fair bit.

Only problem with that idea is, you wouldn't have uniform expansion.

They were posted earlier in the thread, and then Alec Steele linked them on his most recent video, which has gotten him about 15k more subscribers in the past two days. Makes me wonder if Alec browses these forums on occasion.

Ferremit posted:I loving hate you.... When i was doing core sampling and I could do the work with the drill rig it was fine- the rockmaster rigs have about 2 tonnes of lift capacity so that wasnt an issue, and if we couldnt pull a tube with the main lift rams you could use the massive rams on the stabiliser legs of the vehicle to pull em out cos that would get a 4 tonne landcruiser nearly half a meter off the ground. That sounds like pretty reasonably placed hate to me.

captkirk posted:I realize this thread is more about "make a thing" and less about "restore an old thing" but my grandfather gave me a horse shoe that was made by his uncle who was a black smith. It's got a decent looking layer of rust on it but I'd like to do something to remove the rust, seal it against future rust and mount in on a plaque or something. It's a fairly thin shoe (it was made as a shoe for a race horse by my grandfather's telling) and I'm worried about getting too aggressive with it in terms of removing too much material. Personally take a wire cup in a drill to it first, before getting all chemical with it. You might like the look of it with the surface rust knocked off.

You can heat it in a well ventilated area, or cut it to the lengths you need and soak it in vinegar for a half hour or so then wipe the zinc coating off. Im not sure how well that pipe will work as a hold down, especially long term.

Masonry blade with an angle grinder or a tile saw are about the best options I can think of. The hack saw might work, but it's not something I'd personally want to do. As for the refractory questions I don't have any answers.

I would pay a little bit of money to watch someone cut a hard firebrick with a butter knife. Now the soft firebrick sure, that you can cut with harsh words.

I think the biggest thing would be make sure you can bolt it to a solid surface, since an aluminum frame will be quite a bit lighter than steel. I don't know that I'd be worried much about shavings of a grinder except for maybe around any adjustable sections, and everything should be going down or away anyways.

I would think that maybe a triangle top made out of angle iron, just large enough to hold the anvil and some angle iron legs bolted to it that you could fold around the top like a hinge would work. At least it's the first thing that comes to mind given the limits you listed. I've seen some flat-pack camp chairs in that style which is what gave me the idea. immoral_ fucked around with this message at 02:13 on Nov 15, 2020 |

While a welder would be best for the top plate, i think I'd try to use oversized bolts for the pivot/hinge with another bolt to use to lock it in place. It sounded more like you need a stable hard surface to hammer against more than something that could stand up to heavy blows though, so maybe I was mistaken there.

Just make sure if you do that, that the body of the clamp can take the extra force. I've broken some just tightening them by hand.

Thread favorite Clickspring also has a Sherline that he breaks out on occasion, he doesn't really get into the nitty-gritty of using one. But you can get an idea of the kinds of things you can use it for beyond handles.

I own a red welder, and learned how to weld, for given values of "learned", on a blue welder. Practically speaking the only difference between the two is the fact that I could get the red one a bit cheaper than the blue one when I was in the market.

If you are to venture to weld it yourself, be sure grind a V along the crack and fill it in with weld, it'll be much stronger than a surface weld. If you took it to someone that does know how to weld I would hope that they will do that themselves.

Ziggy Smalls posted:Non ferrous metals can clog grinding tools but after my cat got stolen last october I found that the general suggestion is to add steel in strategic places so it takes significantly longer to cut out the cat. If you forget what cat is short for, which I totally didn't do, this becomes a very different message.

Does it have to be precise, nearly 7 inch stick out on a boring bar small enough to do 9mm internal, seems a bit much. Can you cast it, since you said aluminum would be the likely metal?

Yooper posted:Press brake means that a mandrel presses the metal into a die, usually hydraulically but also servo controlled. Pan-Box-finger means it's being bent over the fingers / tool edge. I am a not retired sheet metal dude, and watching me work the break is so not amazing. That's why I work out in the field.

Also not putting so much heat into what you're welding that it corkscrew as soon as you remove said hold downs.
