    Great info on bellows. Years ago watched Bernard Herr demonstrate with a goat skin bellows looked like a lot of hard work opening and closing the skin and moving up and down. Also watched a Mong imagrant blacksmith use a box bellows with chicken feathers as the plunger seal. It was double acting and easily could ne made from pipe or tube.

    Get a piece of 1" steel cable. With arc welded weld length of trunk to look like bark unwind branches pulling away from trunk to look like a tree. Do the same and build up a mound an a piece of plate so it looks like it grew out.

    Congrats Not that hard lay it over on bed of truck/van stick pipe in hollow base and with a few guys roll it on on fly wheel. Put spare tire under so the ARM doesn't get damaged. Used a lift for my 250 Murray. May I ask what you paid and has it been rebuilt. One direct from a shop sold for $1500 this month.

    There were 3 sets of bleachers and standing room only at Brian's area. Luckidly I was paying attention and watched him Thu might and some Fri before the schedualed start. Also bought several of his pieces at auction. Don't plan on seeing what you saw at SOFA at any other conference.

    Have a dead Peter wright and a lively German anvil and they are worlds apart when it comedy to forging. Too large of anvil causes problems you can't use the horn or draw across the face as they are too large so need a bick or block in hardy hole to get smaller

    Looks good. I ended up with Brian's grill, a crane standing on a fish, a hammer ring and a sheet punch at the auction at SOFA where he was demonstrating.

    I find 5 gal pail of coal equals at least 30 gal of home made charcoal or about two handfuls every time the piece goes back into the fire from the anvil and that is with the blast off
