		<description>I love all your comments!  Isabel has a new nickname - the bob tail anvil. Thanks, Jerry!

April, I had the redressing of those rollers done by a local machinist. They are pretty well polished, beyond satin I would say. The main reason I had it done is because they dipped in the center, so the roll was uneven. I learned that there are two ways to approach the job in a machine shop. I can&#039;t remember the details now, but basically one is done freehand at a lathe, and the other more automated with greater micrometer precision (big-time equipment involved). Even after being redressed, there is still a dip in the center of my rollers, so I just work with it. It is better than it was before. (He did it at a lathe.) He quoted me $25, but then didn&#039;t want to charge me anything because the rollers were not completely squared. I paid him anyway.</description>

		<description>Ginger, Thanks for making my day. Some people look at me funny when I tell them excitedly that my husband bot me for my birthday my own Mikita cordless drill; he calls it a&quot; girl drill&quot; as it is smaller but quality. ( it&#039;s not pink.) Its for hanging the gallery &amp; building stuff, not jewelry. I love tools and have been lucky enough to inherit a huge blacksmith anvil and found used a rolling mill that looks alot like yours. I couldn&#039;t find any manufactures name on it, just a few large numbers imprinted on frame. Unfortunately it suffered in a fire I had in my studio some years back ( smoke damage) . I am intrigued about having the rollers redone. About how much did it cost? are they &quot;polished&quot;?  They look bright but satiny in photo. Mine are smooth and useable but not poilished. I have learned to accept this  extremely slight texture as normal. Also a bit afraid of getting it back together and alligned. 
Anyway thanks for a peek into a wonderful place to work.

		<description>Poor bob tail anvil, well at least for this generation it has a happy home. Now you need to will it to some deserving soul to continue it protection from further abuse. Such a neat well organized studio, I&#039;m so envious of it. Thanks for the tour.</description>

		<description>Nice to &quot;meet&quot; another tool junkie!  Love your studio set up, and am very envious of your anvils!!!  The idea of the rotating clothes line is a good one  - I have multiple small bulletin boards that I use the same way - pictures of jewelry, paintings, prints.... and you make my little found object collection look really sad !  Thanks - enjoyed the post!</description>
