    I wonder how many ball bearings I would need to drop then take a average to come up with a number .

    Now Ball bearings all over the floor at least one will run out and get under one foot.

    I don`t think I want to know that bad.

    I’ve managed to hold onto the same 5/8” ball bearing for the last year I’ve been looking for an anvil, it lives in the center console of the truck.

    Anvil eye candy. Wish there was a way I could get this one to you. I don't think it's ever used. It has 250 cast into one leg and a 071 on end. I would guess that the weight and possibly year cast. ?20210120_072612.jpg

    That's a nice looking anvil! I'd like to find some of the tooling (I guess that's what you call it) that goes into the square hole on mine.

    I switched to red and tacky Lucas product? Anyways its readily available so I switched. Another thing I recall from lubrication seminar; a tube of grease 90% oil and the other 10% soaps and thickeners. Thickeners...like corn starch:rofl:

    I better go to the shop. Slow day so far, but always something to do. I need to try and find some wood to construct a couple of boxes for the Ringo rings. Better than supervisor see me sitting and send me to something hideous.
