    What would the price be???
  3. John Martin
    I'm still searching and can't find anything.
  4. John Martin
    I'm just using steel instead, same price, 1045 grade.
  5. John Martin
    Oh. Metals Depot is also another good site, and it is way cheaper. Which is better? Cold Finished or Hot rolled?

    What's big difference between wrought and cast? I thought that they were both made the same way?
  8. John Martin
    Speedy Metals - Cast Iron That's it.

    I'm buying the wrought Iron at speedymetals.com it's really cheap. for a lot of iron. I checked their ebay page, they don't have any iron for sale.

    I'll prolly save up money for a year or two, then once I can make hammer's out of wrought iron, i buy the tool. For the mean time, I'll prolly by 6' long 5/8" 1" and 2" of wrought iron, about 40 bucks.

  17. John Martin
    So then what would you choose for a hammer head?
  18. John Martin
    I've only been smithing for a few months, but this is what I would bring..... 3 Hammers (Ball Pein Straight Pein and Sledge Hammer) 3 Tongs (Round stock Sqaure Stock and a everything tong....) Two Rail road trackplates, 15LB and 25LB Punches, Chisels Hand Bellows Charcoal/Coal Lots of spare iron The track plate works decent enough, it's what I'm limited to right now, waiting to buy anvil.
  19. John Martin
    Is that what you did??
  20. John Martin
    I will. I'm going to a flea market this weekend, hoping to find an anvil is lucky or some hammers.
  21. John Martin
    Okay. I don't want to get over my head in projects.
  22. John Martin
    I can not weld. Don't know how to, and don't have a torch. I'm prolly gonna use the axle or some bar stock.
  23. John Martin
    I could get a 16lb sledge hammer, and my brother could hold the head, if it's to hard to shape with a small 4lb sledge hammer. But I'm gonna start looking around.
  24. John Martin
    Okay, I'll get some black outdoor paint then to.
  25. John Martin
    There is a rail laying around back there, but it'd be pretty hard to move 1500 feet back to my house, we live on like 13 acres. But, the track plate is prolly 25lb, 5x8 and has 8 sqaure holes in it, and for a horn, i used a j shaped piece from the railroad.
