 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.

| Finnr, you, my friend, are an asset to the blacksmith community! M_brothers, way I see it you go the leg vise for free also. Even at $2.00p/lb for the anvil==$248.00 that leaves only $68.00 for the blower! Both of which are CHEAP! Yea, ya done REAL good. Glad for you! Don't cha just love this!??!

| Well , as I see it; if we don't get young folks started in the craft soon it will be a bunch of us "old coots" sitting around the stove and talking about the good old days! Nearly came to that before the revival of the craft. No point in taking chances! Finnr
