wood stamping hammer
I have a “Springfield” J.Stevens Arms Company single load shotgun. It has a hammer and automatic shell release

I don’t see a serial number, but it does have an X stamped beneath the barrel, where it connects to the trigger housing. There are no other discernible markings. The handle is wood and the barrel is 13-1/2″ long. Is this thing worth anything? What model is it? How can I find out more history on it?

j stevens arms company of chicopee falls massachusetts designed many models of these single shot shotguns, all models looked similar, although I find no model of “springfield” and no cross reference that they ever made one for springfield armory or springfield arms companies. According to my literature “they were designed as inexpensive, utility grade weapons and there is little or no collector interst in them at this time.” NOTE**** many of these shotguns featured damascus barrels and SHOULD NOT BE FIRED WITH MODERN SHOTSHELLS AS THEY TEND TO RUPTURE OR EVEN EXPLODE!!!!! As with any older weapon, it should be checked by a gunsmith to determine if it is safe to use.
Values listed for all models I found is:$150-$176 in excellent condition. $100 to $125 in very good condition. These shotguns were made in the late 1800’s to the early 1900’s. Source: gun digest book of guns and values 2008 edition. & early american shotguns (out of print)

Finding The Right Knife Set For Your Home

We never know quite how it happens, but yet again, you’ve been roped into cooking for the entire family at yet another impromptu gathering.  And to top it all off, your knife set needs replacing.  Oh, what to do?  I find it’s extremely important to know not only what a specific kitchen knife is meant for, but also what materials it can be made from, and how to ensure it will live a healthy, long life in the comfort of your kitchen.

            First and foremost, there are two ways in which kitchen knives are made.  The first being the forged knife made by pressing hot steel into a mold which is then either hammered into a specific shape or put through several or processed through several different machines.  Your second option being stamped knives which are made by stamping them from a single sheet of steel that is then sharpened and finished.  The finished products are in fact fairly different:  while forged knives are more expensive, they offer a much more well balanced blade whereas stamped knives are much thinner and typically prone to imbalance.

            Your best option for peeling potatoes and cutting small vegetables is going to be the paring knife, which is no more than four inches long thus offering increased maneuverability on a small surface.  Utility knives generally offer a blade anywhere from four to seven inches in length which can also be serrated or smooth; these are mainly suited for fruits, vegetables, herbs and the like.  Now serrated knives in and of themselves usually have a five to ten inch blade and are best for cutting fresh bread however, I wouldn’t recommend them for much of anything else as they cannot be sharpened and need to be replaced regularly for that reason.  Boning knives are intended for pulling meat from the bone and for that reason, the blade is five to six inches in length and very thin in order to ensure that they are effective at their task.  

Cleavers have up to a six-inch blade, which is also very wide, making it your best bet for cutting anything thick or crushing garlic cloves, for example.  Chef’s knives are available anywhere from six to 12 inches in length, but keep in mind, bigger isn’t necessarily better as you want it to balance in your hand.  Therefore, smaller hands are best when handling smaller blades, as these particular knives are best suited for ubiquitous tasks such as chopping, dicing, mincing, and slicing.  Carving knives are meant for slicing cooked meats, typically sold with a carving fork in order to hold down whatever it is you’re cutting.  Usually around eight inches in length they are available with either a pointed or rounded tip and both are equally effective.

There are also different types of materials used to create the handles for your kitchen knives; exotic woods, stainless steel, and porcelain, just to name a few.  They do however have their own pluses and minuses as well as care and keeping tips.  Wooden handled knives, for example cannot be immersed in water because that would cause the wood to swell, thus damaging them.  But it is also recommended that you rub mineral or lemon oils on the handles occasionally in order to maintain them.  Ceramic handled knives are best known for their durability, but my favorites are the stainless steel handled knives; these are the least likely of the bunch to gather rust.

In order to keep your kitchen knives like new, it’s best that they be stored in a wooden knife block.  This not only keeps them sharp, it also keeps your hands safe as keeping them loose in a drawer is more likely to result in cuts and scrapes.  It is also best that your knives only be used on surfaces such as wood and plastic, not metal because that will wear down the blade.  As always, keep your knives out of the dishwasher and hand wash them immediately after each use.  Now, you may think the goal here is to find the cheapest option available to you, when in fact you really do get what you pay for.  So, as with so many other decisions one has to make, it comes down to whether you want to make one larger purchase or several smaller ones as you find yourself in need of replacing them again and again.

metal stamping parts
I have an amphicar that im trying to restore but i dont understand how to tell what my engine type is?

Any info would be helpful. The metal stamp on the frame says the engine number is :”Gk 1024 HE” but websites selling parts say engine number like 1-12-10, and 1-12-06, why does it not match mine? The chassis number is 101 567, and i cant find that either. If anyone could link me to a “Amphicars for dummies” site I would be appreciated. any info will help. anyone who knows anything about these old cars please help.

congraulation on being an owner of an amphicar, they just seem to getting more valuable every day.

go to the amphicar forum, they have a lot of info on your car, technical information and a chance to discuss your restoration project..

Method for Finishing Characteristics of Metal Stamping Dies

A method for improving the release and finish characteristics of metal stamping dies includes shot peening the interior die cavity walls with substantially spherical shot having a hardness value at least equal to the hardness value of the die cavity walls.

Optimizing the parameters of the peening process, such as the Almen intensity and the shot type, size, hardness and uniformity, maximizes the improvement to the release and finish characteristics of the die. Optionally, the initial shot peening is followed by a second shot peening with substantially spherical glass beads. Metal stamping dies shot peened in accordance with the present method exhibit substantial improvement in their release and finish characteristics over unpeened dies.

The present invention relates to metal stamping dies, and, more particularly, to a method for improving the release and finish characteristics of metal stamping dies through shot peening.

The use of metal stamping to produce a wide variety of metal parts is widespread. While there are variations of the metal stamping process, such as forming, piercing, deep drawing and the like and combinations thereof, and different types ofdies, such as single and multiple cavity dies and progressive dies, most of the principles and techniques are the same. The problems are also often the same.

One of the major problems which is common to virtually all metal stamping operations involvingdrawing or deformation of the workpiece,whereby the workpiece contacts the interior die cavity walls during the stamping operation, is a poor release characteristic between the workpiece and the die cavity walls. Poor release characteristics, whichcauses problems both during the stamping downstroke and the upstroke and workpiece removal stage, invariably leads to problems such as machine jams or smashups, misformed and non-uniform parts and poor finish characteristics on the workpiece surfaceproximal to the die cavity walls, such as scratches, galling, scoring, random shiny spots and the like. Although a poor release characteristic is most often the cause of a poor finish, poor finish can also be caused by other factors, such as heatbuildup, improper lubrication, surface flaws and the like.

Because of the high cost of rejected parts and the down time due to die maintenance and reconditioning, as well as the potential very high cost occasioned by a machine or die jam or smashup, constant efforts are being made to improve the releaseand finish characteristics of metal stamping dies. These efforts range from varying the composition of the die material to coating the interior die cavity walls with release agents, plating and the like. Even the die designer continually attempt toimprove the release and finish characteristics of dies by experimenting with variations of draft angles and the like.

While there has been steady improvement over the years, there is a continuing need for further improvements, especially improvements that are economical, reliable and durable.

The present invention was the result of the surprising discovery that shot peening metal stamping dies with generally spherical shot dramatically improves the release and finish characteristics of such dies, as well as substantially increasingdie life. Heretofore, the accepted rule in die construction and maintenance and reconditioning, with respect to achieving satisfactory release and finish characteristics, was to provide the interior die cavity walls with as smooth and uniform a surfaceas possible. Although shot peening has been in widespread use for years to increase the fatigue life and prevent stress corrosion cracking of metal parts, an irregular peened surface on the interior die cavity walls would predictably adversely affectthe release and finish characteristics of the die. Since any improvement in fatigue life or the prevention of stress corrosion cracking through shot peening would not be worth the sacrifice of having to accept poor release and finish characteristics ofthe die, shot peening has never been seriously considered for treatment of the interior die cavity walls of metal stamping dies.

In the broader aspects of the present invention, conventional shot peening techniques and equipment are utilized, i.e., the surface of the part is bombarded with shot by a peening apparatus under controlled conditions. However, in the preferredembodiment, optimum results are achieved by utilizing specific combinations of parameters with respect to shot type, size, hardness and Almen peening intensity. Examples of suitable conventional peening apparatus include air blasting equipment whichpropel the shot media at the part under air pressure, utilizing either suction, direct pressure or gravity feed, and airless or centrifugal wheel equipment which propels the shot media at the part by a rotating wheel. There are also freefall peeningmachines, where the shot media is dropped upon the part from various selected heights.

With respect to the shot peening media, the media must be substantially spherical. Irregular, angular or abrasive media, such as employed in grit blasting and sand blasting, are unacceptable in the method of the present invention. While avariety of generally spherical peening media may be utilized, such as steel shot, ceramic media and conditioned cut steel wire shot, steel shot is preferred. In the case of cut steel wire shot, it must be conditioned prior to use, such as by blasting itagainst a steel plate until the particles are rounded. Whichever peening media is selected, it must have a hardness value at least equal to the hardness value of the die cavity walls to achieve the improvements of the method of the present invention.

The peening process should be conducted under conditions that will yield substantially 100% coverage and saturation of the interior die cavity walls. In addition, it has been found that increasing the depth of the compressive stress layerprovides additional improvement. A substantial improvement, especially in die life, is achieved when the compressive stress layer is about 0.02 inch or greater. This increase in die life is partly due to the fact that some surface metal is removedduring each periodic maintenance or reconditioning operation. Accordingly, the greater the depth of the compressive stress layer, the more the amount of metal that can be removed during maintenance and reconditioning operations before the benefits ofthe shot peening are negated.

The optimum shot peening intensity will vary depending upon the hardness of the dies and the type of die metal. Under the generally accepted Almen shot peening intensity standard, which was developed by the General Motors Research LaboratoriesDivision of General Motors Corporation, the various variables of shot peening are integrated into a single scale for measuring, specifying and duplicating shot peening intensities and results. All measurements are made on the standard Almen No. 2 gage,as shown in the SAE Manual on Shot Peening, AMS 2430 and MIL S-13165. Even though the exact optimum Almen intensity will vary as the die material and shot parameters vary, it has been found that when regular hardness steel shot, with a Rockwell hardnessof from about C45 to about C55, is utilized, the desired compressive stress layer of at least about 0.02 inch will be achieved with Almen intensities of from about 0.004 to about 0.014 C2.

Also, while the optimum size of the shot peening media will vary, steel shot with a Mil Spec size of from about SAE 70 to about SAE 230 is preferred for most applications. For optimum reliability and uniformity of the peening media, cast steelshot certified to Mil Spec 13165 is especially preferred.

Finally, it has been found that yet further improvement is achieved by following the initial shot peening with a second shot peening utilizing substantially spherical glass beads. The optional second peening procedure provides primarily acleaning function and enhances the uniformity of the peened die surface.

The improvement achieved in the die release and finish characteristics by the present method is consistent and dramatic over a wide range of varying die constructions. One of the clearest gages of improvement is to monitor the frequency of diecleaning and reconditioning that is required. Comparison testing between untreated dies and dies shot peened in accordance with the present invention at various stamping work stations at a major automotive assembly plant revealed consistent improvementwith the shot peened dies. From large steel quarter panel dies to smaller front fender steel insert dies, the results are the same. The shot peened dies experienced far less down time and required far fewer periodic maintenance and reconditioningoperations. The improvement as a function of reduced down time and periodic maintenance and reconditioning ranges from a factor of several fold to a factor of over 30. In addition, the surface finish of the stamped parts is consistently uniform andfree from flaws.

In addition to the improvements that the present method provides with respect to release and finish characteristics and the reduction of down time and the need for periodic maintenance and reconditioning, additional advantages are achieved. Costwise, the present method is less costly than most other surface treatments and coatings which are applied to the interior die cavity walls. Moreover, additional cost savings are realized during die reconditioning or modification. Coatings, such asplating, tend to chip and flake and eventually must be replaced at high cost. In the event that the die needs modification due to an engineering change or the like or requires a repair operation such as welding, only the immediate area that is alteredor repaired may require repeening. In sharp contrast, such an isolated modification or repair in a plated die most often requires the entire die surface to be replated.

Thus, the surprising discovery that shot peening metal stamping dies in accordance with the present method dramatically improves release and finish characteristics, instead of adversely affecting them as would be predicted, has resulted in asimple, reliable and economical method which can benefit the entire metal stamping industry.

I think that’s a good deck. I understand where you are coming from in terms of strategies etc. Don’t listen to Wyatt, since he doesn’t know that EVERY DECK DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THE LATEST UP-TO-DATE DECK! This is his deck, and he’s allowed to theme it himself!
I will suggest a few changes though:

-1x Hunter Dragon (why is he there?)
+1x Luster Dragon or Spear Dragon (better stats)
-1x Cave Dragon (too hard to use)
+1x Masked Dragon (better in 3s. You can get like half your monsters out with this card)
I understand it may be costy, but try to get another Wyvern and Darkness Metal Dragon to help with summong Red Eyes B. Dragon.

-1x Dragon’s Gunfire (not a good card)
-1x Super Rejuvenation
+2 Lightning Vortex (you need to clear their field too)

-1x Dragon’s Rage (spear dragon, and inferno fire blast is enough)
-1x Burst Breath (not worth it)
+2x Compulsory Evacuation Device (stuff up their Synchros etc.)

I understand that it is your deck. These are only suggestions since I run my own dragon deck. I hope this helps you.

Working With Sheet Metal

Sheet Metal is a flat shaped product made from metal that can vary in thickness between 0.015cm and 6.32cm. Very thin pieces would be considered foil/leaf pieces while thicker pieces are called plates.

The reason why sheet metal is widely used is because it can be easily changed in to a variety of shapes. Through a wide variety of processes sheet metal machinery and tools are used to do this.

Stretching

Sheet metal can be straightened by using a grip at either side of the sheet and stretching it. The sheet metal machinery and tools used to do this are able to pull the sheet metal beyond its elastic limit allowing it to come out flat. The affect of the stretching is that its temper will be slightly raised.

Stamping

This is a process that may involve one or more stamping stations to perform various actions on a metal sheet to create a final workpiece. As the metal sheet is passed through the work stations each one alters the shape by cutting, forming or drawing the piece. Each stamping station contributes to the final piece.

Cutting

There are a number of ways that Sheet metal can be cut, ranging from manually cutting the sheet using tin snips to using computer aided laser cutting. Tin snips can be extremely tricky – even frustrating to use, especially when the sheet curves. The use of computer controlled laser cutting allows for greater accuracy while at the same time reducing the amount of waste.

Laser cutting involves focusing a beam of laser light over the sheer metal heating and subsequently burning the metal. The edge of the sheet will be very smooth. Old Trumpf equipment laser cutters can be used to get a precision of around 0.01mm.

Bending

Bending can be carried out by sheet metal machinery and tools and is done to shape the sheet into various forms. A pressbrake is used to bend the metal into a shape that is determined by its die set.

Shearing

When the sheet metal is too big for use, then the sheet needs to be cut to size. This process is called shearing. This step needs to be carried out before any stamping can be started. Sheet metal machinery and tools ‘shear’ the sheet metal until the desired size has been achieved.

Deep Drawing

The deep drawing process involves sheet metal machinery and tools ‘punching’ blank sheet metal into a die set. It thus involves a transformation of the sheet metal into a desired shape.
