Hi damastang you can buy a 30? To n hydraulic log splinter for about 1400$ That will forge after you modify the blade with a set of die blocks

Hello all this year we had 12 folks to get hammered this year a lot of forging tong making and scroll making this year also we played a bit withy the manipulator on the fork lift phill from forgemaster forge some extension arms for the manipulator i made sure the big genny had enough food to eat, an all had fun hope next year we will have the 10 cwt the 2 cwt masseys installed so more forging can be enjoyed

wow thank you all for the comments on the 2 bird it took a while to make them i had a picture of a gate that had birds on them that what i started with the scale was huge about 150 to 1

That little hammer it will be rather cheap I no the owner quite well it has been out side a long time if I lived closer I would grab it and get it runnig

a little poem by me

this firm was part of the industrial revolution ,that spear headed us in to our world , now that we live , many firms have past by the side , some survive , the history of the metal man , remember no angle grinders no drill press only thought of mind ,eye to hand,, hand to sledge made the metal man

hi theres a coal mine up in lithgow and near mudgee that have good coke coal but i dont no if you can purchase you will have too search

good to see our instruction do get listened too

nice tongs i do see a small problem with them in my eyes i would like to have more set in between the ranes from the hinge plate back to have a bit wider and to alow the link or tong clip to get tighter as you put it up to the hinge if they are like the ones in the picture the link can come up to the hinge plate to easy an also there is dangour of geting your finger pinched between the ranes just my thoughts but nice look tongs moony

in the older time if a smith had no power forging machine they would forge the jaws an fire weld stock bar on to make the ranes on there tongs but there is a weekis spot if the weld was not as good as it should be but these days a lot of new to smithing people want short cuts to doing most thing like arch welding angle iron on to make the bits on the tong jaw it just show that theres a lot of ways to skin a cat [make tongs ] i make tongs from one piece of steel all forged out ,but i do have a nice 7cwt massey and a few smaller anyangs to do my labouring if you electric weld the ranes on just make sure you have full penatration welds and normalize after welding to release the stresses and check the welds often to see if they are cracking happy hammering moony

yes that baby girl is a old one my mate has a pillinton the same , but his is not have it going i have a i think its a all days about 1cwt , it is a going like a wizz moony
