  1. We've checked them out online but so far have not had a chance to make it to a meeting. We always have 2-3 guys at our shop anytime we are out there and it's mighty tough to find available time to forge when we all work different schedules so a weekend trip is just not in the works without months of planning because I think at this point if one of us goes we are going to have to all go together. We used their plans for both our cross and pineapple twist and really look forward to being able to actually go to a meeting.
  2. Sorry about that. I'll work reuploading a few of the pics when I'm not mobile. It really does draw you in though. We have a lot of have wants and halfway there's. Always more to do than we can devote enough time or money to. We just got a free piece of 16" diameter steel pipe about 18" long that we want to turn into a two burner pass through but we can't find a good insulation method cheaply in our area, north central Oklahoma. We're also thinking about renting a big propane bottle, getting a acetylene torch, or a small mig welder (have an old tombstone stick now). Just can't decide what we need the most.
  3. Hey everyone, I stumbled across this great forum the other day and have lost many hours reading old posts and decided it was time to say Hi. My friends and I started blacksmithing last winter in a wood burning stove using a piece of railroad as an anvil and some regular household pliers. Since then we've made some progress, but after looking on here I realize how far we really have to go. Well you know what they say about pictures. There are some of our old blown burner and the one with fire was just last night with our new naturally aspirated setup. There are also some of the small projects we have made. And yes the forge body is a crucible lined with used untreated Kaowool and some broken bits of kiln shelf, but it is better than the rusty metal bucket we started with
