  1. It may not be my place to mention this, but Mr. Simmons past away June 22, 2009 he will be missed... Philip Simmons June 9, 1912- June 22, 2009
  2. hey guys, we had a great demo at hillbilly day , I look forward to this event every year... Johnny and Jerry did a great job making a firepoker with a twisted handle and among other things several hooks and cowheads, etc... all in all we drew a crowd and had alot of fun.
  3. good advice Thomas , I actually am a member of the psabgsc, (phillip simmons artist blacksmith guild of south carolina) in fact thats where i got my first anvil, but i am frustrated with it , its been repaired, but its beat up and i didnt see a crack in the horn until it was too late, (about an 1.5 inches broke off when i was working last week.) so im looking like everybody else... blacksmith depot is about a hour drive, and its tempting to break out the credit card but I'm still gonna keep looking before i go with that option. I really shouldn't spend that kinda money right now :)
  4. thanks for the idea, for some reason i forgot about ebay , there's one there now for 1200 USD 290 lbs but im gonna wait, just saw that post on rhino anvils gonna take a hard look at those and keep thinkin. best to ask the wife too hehe, though i probably already "no" the answer to that question :0
  5. hey guys, anyone know where someone could pick up a kohlswa anvil? the website says that Kentucky Horseshoeing School is a distributor but i called and they havent got any in 2years they say. scared of the shipping from sweden so just curious if anyone had a source. thanks !!!
  6. i am sorry to hear bout the bad luck , but would love to see how you fix this... post up an up date when ya do. at least the old girl gets a face lift and a new life.
  7. hope to see all you guys at the June meeting this weekend. its in westminster which is only 10 miles from the house, a nice change gas prices being what they are...
  8. well there is the blacksmiths journal (Blacksmith's Journal) and abana's anvil's ring , the British artist blacksmith assoc. has the artist blacksmith magazine (Artist Blacksmith!) just to name a few but i couldn't give you an opinion on any of them . as i don't have a subscription to them :)

  10. figured id post a pic of my blacksmith tattoo, got it last year seems to be holding up well
  11. if your lookin for cheap , try making one out of a piece of railroad, i found some in the garden believe it or not. and it served me well till i got a 150 pounder. or check out the metal recyclers in your area they are likely to have some big pieces of iron that would serve you...
  12. hello everyone, I haven't posted here in a long while but i lurk in the corner a lot. finally found something worth throwing out there to you all, I just found a how to dvd rental site that offers about 30 blacksmithing dvds and the same on blade smithing , the rental fee is kinda high but beats buying them, and finding out that it has nothing on it that would help ya. anyways, the website is _________, I just got my first three a few weeks ago and the company seems to have a quick turn around. JODY advertising removed. The site had 230 categories, only one for blacksmithing.
  13. your welcome to give me a call at 864 985 1336 i live about 4 miles from clemson university would be glad to lend ya a hand , help ya make some tools or what ever...
