I've got a bid on a small open hearth gas forge; it's only a single burner unit but large enough to try my hand at making some Damascus blades. This should be fun!

Post up Winky. Where did you get it? Ebay? I still need a brake drum, but I have the fan and speed control. Sort of went back burner, but with the cold weather coming, this could be a good project.Quote:

Once you have that you cut and paste the youtube URL to the downloader and save it to your system. All free.
Had to drive to work during the last few minutes of the auction and someone out bid me ... oh well next time. I didn't know there was a youtube downloader ... I'm on it ... thanks.
Next time www.bidnip.comQuote:

If you buy on ebay you need it. You only pay for the items you win and the fees are not bad. By bidding at the last second (I usually set it for 2 seconds) you avoid bidding wars. And by setting the maximum price that you are willing to pay, in advance, you don't get sucked into that, maybe just a little more attitude that is so easy to do.
http://www.jbidwatcher.com/ is another option. It is free, but your computer must be on and connected at the end of the auction for it to work. I haven't done much ebaying (other than 'buy it now' vendors) recently, but used it a few years ago and liked it a lot.
Thanks guys I won an auction yesterday on a nice set of antique black smith tongs I'm going to referb and use ... also checking into different gas forges for knife making ... directly from the manufactures there are somenice ones out there but I don't want to get stuck with something that will be a PITA to replace liners.
very nice job!

I wouldn't imagine this would happen but it is possible.
Well, you've done it again Ruslan; That is absolutely beuatiful! :D
