  1. you said some idiot knocked a new hole in the old tank at a lower elevation? That tank is now useless, unless you can water tite seal the hole the idiot knocked in the tank. it is going to leak.. Leaking means the foundation under the tank will wash out and it will settle again..
  2. Sorry Jane. I am a Master plumber, This is my advice, have your local plumber: replace pipe from the house to the tank and replace tank cut the exit line out of the tank install a 90 degree elbow on the line going to the leach field add a 5' pipe to the elbow sticking straight up into the air fill the pipe with water and time the amount of time it takes for the water to leave the pipe hopefully your drain field is not saturated, but if the pipe is not draining, replace the field over dig the hole under the new tank. by 24'' add moist sand, water the sand with a hose, it will compact it set the new tank on a compacted sand bed NO LESS THAN 12""
  3. I used to do that. Now, I just grab a bit of scrap rub some rouge on it and strop my blade I have used both sides and can not come to a conclusion that one is better than the other

  7. Work look great to answer your question, You are in the business of custom work. You insist that it is constructed well, correctly and is durable. , But the art work, Do what they want, and keep your mouth shut I am a plumber by trade, I had a lady pay me to install a Kohler wild rose fixtures with polished brass fittings, Makes me want to puke every time i think about it
  8. In order to insert the steel band into a belt so that the belt is not damaged, use a belt sander to round the ends of the band Then glue the band into the center of a 1 1/2'' belt. I have never inserted a band into anything smaller than 1 1 /2''.. drill a hole in the ends of the band and rivet the band to the center of the belt. the band will not move and cut the threads.
  9. I use the steel 3/4'''' strap that is used to strap pallets. I make my belts 1 1/2'' wide, The strap does not move and cut my stitches.
  10. Hello Muppet, I am also a fellow forger.That gave it up If you need a forge, building one is simple and damn near free. If you have scrounging skills go scrounge up, 2- 55 gallon steel barrels/drums a cast iron brake drum and the exhaust fan out of an old house heater unit, looks like this

  22. You dont. toss that awl out the window. Here is 3 pieces of 9oz veg tan. run a stitch grove on each piece using your chisel. hang one tine off the leather as shown, this will ensure you are starting out at the same spot on each piece of leather glue your peices As you glue the pieces. insert a needle every couple of inches, this will help you keep everything lined up . then sew them. all pieces are lined up if you did it correctly
