  1. Gas forge....perhaps?
  2. Hey there Sam, I'm mightily impressed. Well done. Kevan
  3. I agree with the sentiments expressed about safety first. The 12 inch, 18 foot galvanised pipe on my super sucker DOES NOT get hot enough to affect the surface and cause the vapours that we all fear and even if it did the draught UP the stack is so strong that the only direction of toxins is up and out. The box into which the fire exhausts is NOT galvanised and should not be as this would definately get too hot. Err rather on the side of caution. On my forge,the stack is outside the walls of the building. My 2c worth.
  4. Ted, I too have a close relationship with the animals in my life, and your moving and sensitively written account brought a film of moisture to my eye. If one looks at the nature of the mails in response to Ironstein's postings, its reveals an outpouring of sincere emotion on the part of the people who are members of this site. It is uplifting and encouraging to witness the human spirit at a time of sadness...even if it is the death "of only a dog" I salute the people who have replied to this post and Ironstein I understand the loss of your beloved dog.

    Fascinating. Thank you. What always amazes me is why we never see the machines that make the machines that so fascinate us.

    I compliment the work and the effort. As an avid user of the beads, your work has inspired me to try and make my own. Regards, Kevan
  9. Excellent video. Thanks for the effort and concur with the "age is an attitude" Kevan
  10. I am definitely with Michael on this one. Cut the hole later. Where you think you will place the hammer now may not be where you will place it when you actually have it in the shop. Kevan
  11. Lovely looking shop,any chance of a peek inside?

    A very kind thank you to all my peers for their comments. I am quite surprised at the level of approval, but I think it is the rivet heads that make the statement. Over the weekend I will post a photo of what we did, it is actually a bit of sleight of hand. Kevan
  13. Maybe not to everyone's taste, but then you can enjoy the blacksmithing instead. Hey man.. Kevan
