[TheForge] WTB: Any hardy tools to fit 3/4 inch hardy hole

[theforge@mailman.qth.net]

"I'm a beginner blacksmith who recently acquired an anvil with a 3/4 inch 
hardy hole.  I'm now looking for any and all tools to fit.  Does anyone on 
the 
list have any hardies with a 3/4 shank for sale or know of any sources for 
this "

Hi Larry, I have the same problem I have solved it by making my own hardies 
to fit the 3/4 inch hole. The first one I made I just found some round stock 
larger than 3/4 and drew it down to a square that fit in my hardy hole. then cut 
off a hardy from a larger shank welded it on and was done. I also forged one 
tool head and all from that piece of round.  I found a broken star drill that 
had a hollow octagonal shaft, did'nt take near as long to forge it to fit, I 
welded on a spring fuller to it.  So far no problems with any of em. 

Time enough for sleep in the grave.
Tod Estes.
