Hillbilly iron

That whomper stomper Treadle hammer looks mighty nice,do you find it to work to all your needs.Did you have plans or build her out of your head,looks well made.

Yes i Agree with Leah i was cutting the top off an (what i found out later was an avgas drum)and it went boom blew top clean off just about took my head off.fill it with water first.

Cheers for the info Matt, yes i have thought of Mig tips, our Migs here in New Zealand are only .6 of a mm i thought they may have been too big.but i will get a0.035 drill and see how i get on thanks very much

Ta Thomas i realised i made a mistake on the Lpg & Natural Cheers for putting it right.you were thinkin straight and i was in the clouds some place.:cool:

I`m building a Gas Forge simular to the Gary Ford design in BluePrints, And i`m havin trouble with main Jet size please can someone help out what would be the best size to use Thanks so much in advance:confused: I`m using LPG or natural gas

Would anyone know what kind of steel are Tine Harrows made,Thanks in advance

I have a post drill here and i think its an old Model T diff and the attached gearbox, it was built by my Grandaddys Friend many moons ago.would work if had something to run it with,but i use a faster drill press now.Plus i have a homade HackSaw to go with it all she is of the same era.Both gathering dust now.

Thanks for all your thoughts, I had a friend that told me beeswax was good,Which turns out to be false,i have since found stove polish works great.

Hi guys thanks for the help, i have some mud off the track to cut down the forge size,Thanks rmcpb.Frosty you ask what the Rod is coming out of the Tuyere,If i pull that out it clears out all the fire ash and keeps it all clean, i have a small half disc welded on the end.works great.I do have a hand blower coming,so will save on fuel big time,Thanks for your all help muchly appreciated

My only regret is this forge is hungry on Charcol,but a least my fuel is free.I built from bits i had in the junk pile,The blower is a 3 speed car fan, which works rather well,bar the hungry part.:)
