Watched a guy cast silver using dry cement mixed with 10 weight motor oil. The mixture was enough oil so when dumped onto.counter it kind of crawled down hill.

Need as Much heat on opposite side as the side welded. The hot side is the short side.

What do you use the rounded end of the anvil for. Have seen flat square posts knife makers used not never round tops.

Bought a similar bellows at BAM conference from Bob Alexander a year or 2 ago, but haven't used them.

My anvil will ring in his honor.

Welcome from mn where it was 40 today and now we are getting 40 mph winds and it is going to drop to about minus 14 over night with winds thru tomorrow.

Liked the coal I made but forgot to add the crumbled cookies. Got a surprise the next day as the black coloring produced a bright green stool sample. Not sure if it affected others the same way

If you can find a company that mills road surfaces the cutters are shaped similarly they have a carbide tip that needs to be removed.

Welcome. Ask around at a BAM or saltfork meeting for equipment. Although a great anvil is something we in the US think we have to have dome places use a goat skin and a rock to forge no what makes you happy and can afford.

My 250 and Saymac are on oak the thickness you need bolted together the same size as base of hammer. My little giants I sit in front of to work.
