This isn’t my auction, but I thought it looked like a great deal. (Thanks Ironman for pointing this out on the Forum!).

It’s for 44 taps in various sizes … for $26 bucks! For comparison purposes, I’ll include a box below showing other taps and their prices on Ebay (typically a quality 3 piece set is about $15+).

And according to the seller, these are New USA Made quality taps. From the picture it looks like they are Besly taps. Here’s the link:

Anyway, I thought I’d share. If  anyone decides to buy a set be sure to report back! Thanks again Ironman for pointing this deal out!

I just wanted to take a second and let you all know that I’ve added a new forum section entitled “Metal Finishing and Heat Treatment” (thanks for the suggestion Luc!).

Here’s the link to the new section:

Metal Finishing and Heat Treatment

I’ve searched the forum for any previous posts that dealt with anodizing, blackening, etc and moved them to the new section. I’ve found and moved about 5 old posts. If you know of an old post that needs to be moved to the appropriate section please send me a link.

And if you have any tips or tricks that you’d like to share about metal finishing or heat treating, please do so! This could include (but isn’t limited to):

• Anodizing
• Blackening/Bluing
• Metal Polishing Techniques
• Powder Coating
• Heat Treating
• etc …

I’ve had a few request to add new forum sections to the site. Mostly the requests have been for a separate Welding section, and more recently a separate Metal Casting section (thanks Nick for reminding me!).

Well, they’re here!

Now there is a separate place set aside for your welding and metal casting projects and discussions.

Welding Projects
Metal Casting Projects

I will be moving old welding and casting posts to the new sections as I come across them. If you know of an older welding or casting post that should be moved to the appropriate new section please send me a link to the post and I’ll take care of it. This helps keep the forum organized and makes it easier to everyone to find what they are looking for.

In the meantime, if you’ve got a welding or casting project to share, hurry! You could be the first one to post in the new section! Not quite as good as being the first to dip into a new jar of peanut butter, but close!

And if there are any other sections that you’d like to suggest to be added to the forum please feel free to let me know by leaving a comment via the forum discussion attached to this post.

Thanks!
