Sounds good. I was actually considering an electric, but I would rather have a hand-cranked. If the price is right I will see what I can do. I hope that I can get one!

Cool. Are those pretty good? Do you know the price? We build me a quick forge in 1 1/2 hrs today. Pretty cool. Just got to get a couple of things for it.

Hey, guys. I was just wondering what you guys could list some of your favorite blowers, their prices, and links to where you can buy them. I searched for a similar thread and had no luck, but if I missed it, please refer me to it.

Oh, wow. That is interesting. I have never seen that type before.

I'm sure someone can use the image. I'm mainly just interested in different types of bellows and wanted to see in up close :-)

The image is a bit small.

Ooops, never got read that where am I message. I live in Eatonton (middle GA).

Wow, sounds like it. People really have to watch out and know what they are looking for.

That's good to know. I will make sure I pay attention to that if I ever buy an American made anvil. That flea market story makes me laugh. It's kind of funny how some people seem to thrive in ignorance.

Got you. Thanks! I only learned how to tell how much mine weighed.

cwt = a stone?

That is depressing. This maybe be dumb, but I'm not sure what cwt is?

Haha, that would be nice. I didn't realize that they made them so late into the 20th century. Peter Wright is (right now) my favorite anivil, for no real reason other than they are older and made in the UK. I like mouse holes too. I just recently got a 112 peter wright, in decent condition. The guy who sold it to me (on ebay) said that he new nothing about anvils and that he can across the horn sticking out of the ground while cutting grass on his property. I thought that was an interesting story, though I will I knew more of the history.

I live in Georgia as well, but am new to blacksmithing myself, so no chance of an apprenticeship here, but I fear apprenticeships are pretty rare these day(correct me if I'm wrong). It is always good, however, to have friends with similar interest as you. What part of Georgia are you from?

Very cool! I can't wait to understand exactly what is going on as well.
