Default New Tools :)

Yesterday I went up to Finnr's house, and picked up my newly acquired tools.
I bought...

124lb Wilkinson anvil
Champion 400 Blower
4in Post-Vise

for $316, I thought that was a deal, then....

he also gave me....
Bag of Beeswax
Smaller Blower with foot killswitch
Two Hammers
Pair of Tongs
A Blacksmithing Primer, Second Edition.

Thank-You very much again Art. I really appreciate what you gave me.

Champion's airgate was really tight and not cooperating, so I greased it up, and now it slides like butter, but still stays in place. I am working on a vise stand right now. Everything is outside, lightly oiled to protect against rust until I get my forge and stand for my vise made, I can't use it, so like before it's lightly oiled and covered with a tarp. Will be putting up a lean-to soon. I don't know how I can ever make it up to him.

Pictures attached.
