Hello, my name is Ben Mitchell.
I live on Lookout Mountain in NW GA, very near Chattanooga TN.
I 'inherited' a railroad track anvil a few years ago from my grandfather's estate and got to thinking.
After a little research I welded a little forge out of a car rim, some rebar, and plumbing pipe. It is now powered by a hair dryer since the old leaf blower died. I use lump charcoal since I don't have a local supply of coal at hand.
Made only a couple of useful things before I lost steam when I had to move. I now have a nice stump for the anvil and hope to be making some stuff soon.
I went to one of the Choo Choo Forge open nights with a buddy, but haven't been back since. I need to clear some time to go again.
