Hi mate what is the press in tons power and itnover all size

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
