I put this anvil up for sale on Facebook Marketplace for $2200 and sold it within a few hours. Maybe I should’ve asked more. It’s probably my favourite looking anvil. I remember that Liam Hoffman had a rhino-pig anvil similar to this, and he is the only other one in North America that I know that had one. If you know of another one like this, let me know!

I got the chance to forge at the Manitoba Agricultural Museum, and it was great fun. Their annual Threshermen‘s Reunion is also a fantastic show to go to if you’re interested in all things pioneer and steam engines.

Link to the full video in my profile.
I had the opportunity to visit Trevor and Cody in Rossendale MB and got to quiz them on all things steam engine restoration. Enjoy these tidbits from the full video.

This summarizes the last hundred or so hours of work that’s been done on the locomotive, and if you’re interested in seeing a more full length treatment of it, my YouTube channel has a 50 minute video on part 6 of this locomotive’s restoration.

Adam’s “Road King” road grader, built sometime between 1898 and 1920. Now that I’m done with the grader, it’s for sale for $1500 CAD. If you’re interested, send me a message.

This is the reason boiler explosions happen. Bad fusible plugs. Having low water level in a boiler is bad enough and should probably disqualify anyone from being a boiler fireman, but the fusible plug is what determines whether the boiler will explode or if the boiler will “shut itself down” without damage.

Ah yes, boiler explosions… let’s talk about ‘em. First we’ll start by talking about what doesn’t actually make boilers explode. I grant that these videos are oversimplified, but I’m trying to give people a cursory understanding of the real world circumstances around boiler explosions, culminating in the fact that they ought not to be worried about that when they go see a real steam engine. In the next video, we will talk more about what does actually make boilers explode.
