Hi Paul, I will pm you with the details as I don't know wether it has yet gone or not.
I will be picking up some more tools including, pedestal and bench drills, grinders, chop saws, anvil and stand soon,

So keep looking on Blacksmith Guild UK group on forum for further details of tool sale bring and buy event, some time in October I think.

Hi Vic, yes it will be at Westpoint, our Guilds' home forge and training centre. I have just been and collected a lot of the stuff to be sorted and then I will make a list of what is available.

There is at least, an anvil on base, three bench shears (various sizes), a table drill, a floor standing drill with two tables, hand tools, tongs, a small swage block, ASO, stakes, taps and dies, oil cooled oxford welder, air cooled welder (All electric tools all are 240volt single phase) plus other items.

I will post date of sale on this site for anyone interested

Hi John,

Thanks for the reply, sadly a bit far for me to go for some tongs.

Vic.

[John B]

If tongs are all you are after, try your local government surplus place, or make your own

What specific size and type are you after?

For a makeshift job, weld a piece of bar to the adjusting bolt on a pair of molegrips, this will give you something suitable and safe to use on various sizes of materials.

Hi John,

I'm just starting out so not sure of type yet but I'll only be making small stuff to start! I'll have a go at making some tongs when I've built a forge ..... I'm just using a propane torch at the moment Still, I'm not complaining as I've managed to make a good start. Anvil Stand

Thanks again, Vic.
