I'll be making a Mayhem forge! Right now it all goes into a hibachi (barbeque).

Particularly interesting to me is Rob's chamfering. Every corner identical and detail perfect.  The big inside corner looks ground (no swirlies), but how did he get that under the wheel? Was it done on a shaper?

Mine's a table vice. It's for long parts sitting directly on the mill table.

I like your forge Darren. I think I just may copy it. It's small enough so as to not take up a lot of room.

Mike,

John was referring to the cleanliness of your shop. It's immaculate, like a hospital operating theater.  Smile

Ed

Gotcha, I guess the "theatre" part threw me.

I like a clean workshop, guilty as charged.  A clean shop is a happy shop, plus I just can't seem to function well in clutter, but trust me it is not operating room clean that is for sure.

Mike.

Just wondering what did you use to cut the slots in 'holding arms'?
