Made 3 scores over the weekend, got myself a nice condition 4" post vise missing the spring and mounting hardware and a huge 3 foot long pair of bench/hardy shears for 50 bucks, and my other aquisition was actually via ebay, a 125lb stake anvil (monstrous for anyone who knows stake anvils / bickerns) for 105 bucks + ~85 in shipping since it would have cost about 85-100$ in gas to pick it up + 12 hours of driving.

Will get pictures when I'm able.

Collective gasp, look at the size of that forge !!

Wait a minute!!
If that is just a tad larger than the drum head on the 55 gallon drum, and we used the 55 gallon drum to make the 55 Forge . . . . then that would make the 55 Forge the same BIG SIZE !! Pardon my excitement, I just realized that I already have a working forge that size, (sigh).

Well, now I have a spare forge body if I need one.

200 gallons. Got some more literature on it. If it has a 20 HP motor on it, it would put out 67 CFM at 175 psi.

I could almost run 3 kinyon hammers on that....
