Thanks for the info I will try further google searches

Does anyone know of a source for the Macdonald rolling mill plans? Anvil fire store does not work and Macdonalds etsy store says out of stock.

Drop hammer? A board hammer?

I love Upstate NY, Such a beautiful place! So you tore down that building? Looked pretty nice from afar.

Thinking half moon shape on the sides? My blacker anvil has those with screws pushing against them, works great, no movement. I did something similar with my ASO and it does not move either.

I recently sold a Reed 8" bench vise for $1200 if that helps your pricing any.

I think the market is finally softening up a bit on Blacksmith tools. I notice here they are lingering longer on the sale sites for lower prices than in the recent past.

Prone to belly, lucky for you that one looks pretty straight

I shoveled 2.55 tons of #57 stone off my truck into the entrance of the new shop building. I also raked level and tamped sand for my floor (24'x24') with a tamper I made out of 3/4 plate steel and some pipe. My arms are spent. Going to get another load of stone tomorrow and repeat again......

Are the roof first buildings more expensive? I would guess the structure would be more substantial to carry the roof without the bracing of the walls.

Maple?

That's how the frenchies went about it to

No vertical adjustment is pretty wild! So enough travel in the arms to handle everything with in its range? Come to think of it I guess my blacker is kinda like that. You set the head height and it will pretty much eat what ever you can shove under there

Looks great, will look even better on hammers!

I do not see how it would cause it any damage from a mechanic point of view.
