blacksmith-450

5 X 12.... made in Germany, not China !

Cylinder : 23 X 4.5 5hp Motor (220) + this pump

It's a mini, but good enough to make small grinder wheels

Maybe overkill, but it can't be bad... I'll do before completing the assembly.

An ip address analyse will prouve that they are the same guy !

Thank. I apologize too

With your COGS so low and the margin hi! You should start a forges business I m done !

Sorry guys but isn't easy. I made my burner myself and they still cost me 10$ each. Look at the Oliver upwind thread to see what I m be able to get ! Amazon IS the cheapest place to buy regulator. It's 45$ for a 0-30 psi + 15% taxes. ... 50$ Great for you in USA at 20$!!! 1/4 valve 10$, fitting 5$ for the regulator and 10$ for the rest on the gas line Everybody seems agree for 30$ of kaowool. Rigidizer 5$, BUT it's 45$ for the kastolite (20lbs propane tank) and 20$ for Metrikote.... no shipping fees, in my case 50$ ! The shell maybe free or 20$ for some cutoff wheel, welding rod, time and so... That's what I see, that's what I get ! Some people are very proud when the pay hi, some when they pay low. Î don't care!! But don't try me. to believe that you can achieve something paying less than the cost of the hardware ! I know Wayne , i know amazon, I know McMaster Carr.... and i do the garbage of my neighbors ... I think than I'm not a kind of person spending is money by windows... A decent forge is minimum 150$-200$ from scratch. Anyone willing to sell me his for 100$, I'll buy it !! Now i shut up !

It's sure that if you buy used, you get stuff free or you're giving a 0$ value to the stuff that you already have, maybe ! But for someone who starts from scratch, I think that CAN BE a misleading info. That's my point !.

Not agree with your numbers... Regulator = 60$ Safety Valve and fitting = 30$ Kaowool = 30$ Kast-o--lite = 40$ Burner = 40$ All others stuff...= ? $$$ I have about 12 forges done, and the cost all much more than 100$ ! Anyway, that's not so important.

Agree. The problem is that not so cheap of doing it yourself and you have to follow exactly a reliable «recipe».

Welcome, You have a wrong burner and no regulator... dont't expect much ! Please, read forge101 and burner101, everything is there.

3 more tonight : N - O - P

Yes, the upper die will be 6x6

Why the dragon breath is green ? He put a hammer head, it's not a flux question... ???

Yesterday I worked on my project. The frame is almost finished.

I follow the Thomas Powers rules and I just can't pass on this one ! Yes I've 3 anvils now. Maybe it's too much but... sometimes the deal was just too good. Also, I can start a museum of the anvil, they are rather rare in our region ! LOL !!!

Not bad ! Under 1.80$/lb.

Not stupid... just one kind of clown ! A great forum is always attractive for trolls

He gets what he wants : attention !

A lot of people thinks that an auction is the place to make great deals... it's often the opposite !

Thank you very much !

I'm not familiar with the punch form (logo). Thanks again !

Thank you very much Dennis for putting knowledge on simple impressions. Also I'm glad I'm not totally way-out !

Thank you !
