    Mill top of anvil flat?

    As long as you are not taking too much material off of the hardened face it should be fine. However; I would look at the side profile of the anvil and see approximately how much hard face is left on the anvil.

    Mayers Bros. 50# power hammer, $5500, Battleford SK

    Cool! I have a Jardine as well. Had to replace everything from the pitman arm down.

    The top die on my Little Giant had the same angle ground on it. I was told that the dies were modified like that to sharpen plow shares. According to the original specs, the dies can only wear down 20% of their height. Mine were we'll under that and I couldn't get the hammer timed properly...

    I sorely wish I such a discerning eye when I bought my 25 lb'er; would have saved me a lot of money.

    Scrolling Tongs

    Hammered these out over the long weekend out of a piece of leaf spring.

    A word of caution, it appears that one of the toggle arms has been broken and judging by the crazy angle on the top die, the dies are most likely worn out.

    I would love that hammer, but my shop is completely full! Also, I am not sure that I want another restoration project.

    Calgary & area meet up Spring 2024.

    I was thinking that the pork butts would be smoked ahead of time, but a slow cooker would be great too. It all depends on interest and budget. Otherwise, it's Kool-aid and no name potato chips

    Calgary & area meet up Spring 2024.

    I would like to volunteer and help with set-up / tear down and anything else. I have a large smoker, perhaps we could do pulled pork sandwiches???
