Thats cool. I think it would make a good slack tub. Plug up the hole with a big wooden plug or weld it up and fill it with water...

I am also trying to build a burner. I have been buying parts from Home Depot and Ace Hardware and have not yet been able to find all the parts needed in one place. I'm sure I need to find a "real" plumbing supply store to get the required parts. I got so frustrated that I ordered a Side Arm burner kit and a single burner connection kit from Zoeller Forge. The invoice was $115 for both to my door. Burner Flares & Gas Forge Parts I can't wait till it gets here...

I missed one on Craigs list by about 2 days. It looked nice from the picture and they only wanted $50.00 for it...and it was only about 10 miles away. ANTIQUE BLACKSMITH ANVIL - MUST SELL NOW!

Hello...my name is Kevin and I want to become a Blacksmith. My father, grandfather and great grandfather were Blacksmiths. Both of my brothers worked in the family smithy but it was closed before I came along. Anyway...I'm going to sit over here in the corner and read for a while. I may have some questions from time to time...I'll try to use the search function before I ask. Thanks Kevin
