nice, but very simple little forge, does what it says on the box and I've used it with no problems or issues (apart from having to replace the useless russian regulator!)

don't know what its proper name is, but we always called them the blacksmith's helper



I made one similar to this for setting shoulders etc, but what about one of these with the tools going lengthways for fullering instead of across? 3rd hand sorted

Having a sword in the Uk is not knife-crime..nor is carrying it.

I wonder who the smith was...


Ric

carrying any blade over 3" in length in public is illegal in the UK.
there are exceptions, such as if you need a knife in a professional capacity, such as a chef, for example.

but you are correct, having a sword are any blade on private land for a private collection is fine. its only an issue when you step outside your front door.
