Re: thumpificator v2.3

tried it both ways. seemed to work better with the pill gettin chilled first. there is a central fin of 3/16" plate running down the center of the pill, so the coldest water transfers the coolness well without being overcome by the vapor.

Re: thumpificator v2.3

....no, i added it shortly after the o.g. was made. the shredder couldn't keep up with full 5500W stripping, even with full blast cold water. the pill worked it all out, and now, i just use it fer everything.

You have some nice tools. mrs. condensificator says that all the time!! I'm a much more shadetree kinda blacksmith. I already decided this knife will be made with some damascus stock.

Nice! I made this one out of a piece of railroad track. i've got a couple of those. i use the big one all of the time for joinery work. has a good amount of weight to hold stuff down, and the shapes come in handy for rigging/propping freehand stuff together: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_X5yYy...
