I think you have a bulk oil dispenser. You could line it with fire brick add a 2" pipe coming one at angle so the flame unrolls. Use waste oil if you have access to large amount. Need blower from old oil furnace or similar. Google smelter

Asking several blacksmiths any opinion will get you the exact oposite answer it is like the ford chevy dodge or politics. I like a square faced hammer with a slight dome and use the edges tilted as the pien instead of a cross or strait pien hammer so a sounding hammer would work for me but I dont use one just dont use the pien.

The Pontiac Reginal conference in July is a great place to make contacts. A few hours form you but I drive over from Minnesota. Clifton Ralph is in Gary, ID not sure if he does any shop work but was the man when it came to power hammers.
