HI,
Im Matt from around Southern Illinois. Just trying to get started in Blacksmithing as a hobby. I haven't actually made anything yet.
This is the equipment that Ive been collecting for a few months to get started.
I have a 6' x 2' welding table and im in the process right now off cutting 2' off the end of it to make a 2' x 2" forge, should be done tomorrow.
I recently bought 2 pairs of antique tongs, 2 1/2 lbs ball pein hammer, 3 lbs cross pein hammer at a local antique mall.
I have a Western Chief blower but its seized up, that's my next project. I have a 50 lbs anvil that says Babco Oakland on the side that a guy at work gave me.
Anyway, im pretty excited to get started.
