have you got a mate who welds cars ?? ask him/her for a few off cuts.

soft iron as used in commercial solenoids and transformers

the one that got me did not flash at all and like you i was not paying attention. i won't being doing that again [not paying attention that is].

i built a 5.8 l v8 on an engine stand. the stands pivot is just a steel tube in a steel tube one end only. easy to turn

i dowt your engine is heaver. make it adjustable so it ready for next time

used hacksaw and file for years but not anymore as i made the lantern chuck in MEW

could just use it dry

safer to make it your's and not a copy

you are right there. me i work in a air conditioned temperature controlled clean room with calibrated equipment. we rarely work to those limits

unlikely to be worth any more than they weigh in for. there is a charity tool stand at a place near me where you can just pick them up and put a donation in a box. the table is unmanned. pity because i got lots of them too

can't see the point myself. but each to there own

no idea

happy birthday

don't take long to nock up a few clamps and a lot can be learnt from making your own tooling

personally i think all these so called rust converters are just snake oil scratch the black surface they leave and you will see red rust still gnarring away at your steel

grade is important as some stainless will rust

mucked that up ment to say yes

if the originals lasted 50/60 years i would stick with the same type

i too have a smart and brown lathe a model m. best of luck finding parts there is not a lot out there. there is a smart and brown forum which might help i was on to but i have lost my link. some stuff turns up in the bay of thieves. i have been looking for a 95 tooth change gear for some time now and have decided the only i will get one is to make it which will be fun as i have no idea where to start yet
