This is the Colonial style brick forge I use at the Homestead.


This one dates from 1880 to 1910. Belt driven crank blower.


This one date a little earlier than the crank forge. It is a belt driven rachet/pump forge.

I have another but it has not been put together yet. It is a 2 1/2' x 4' cast bowl type with either a coal resevoir on the front or it is for water. No blower as of yet but heavy as the dickens.
