nice ! thanks for the post...

mines a tad over 120 per bath scale. i payed 175 for mine , but that was a smoken deal....

mine is that size , love it...have fun..

If it was mine buddy I'd let you have it...

If I payed 500 for it. Any thing 500 and up would be good...

what you useing them for ? look good to !

o man thats a shame, would love to have one that big....

if you all keep saying these are worth lots of money they will just keep going up in price , lets keep it at 2 or 3 dollers a pound can we ? i dont care what it is if it ant gold plated it ant worth 5000

did a little detail work on the forge , and got the blower pipe in , also put on the 12 inch top for the exhaust to hook to...

The anvil don't look too bad. How's the rebound on it?

got them at sutherlands, hi dollar though....

nice ! thanks agen !

Ya I don't care how long it takes I just wont it right the first time..

still need to try these out...

nice ! thanks ! i have been looking for a a good how-to to get started ! , look at the resposts here http://www.iforgeiron.com/forum/148-knife-making-class-101/

Nice!

Come on now if ground right it would be fine.

i have been doing it my way , and i know theres got to be a better way , i can make just about anything now , but it takes me time after time and lots of redoing to get it where i need it to go , so some help would be grate ! that's why i spent the money, and the week away from my wife and kids, and a week away from work, and a 11 hour drive to go see brian and get some help. i love to blacksmith and i love the time in the forge so why not take it to the next step, and ill be doing it every year till i die ! might not be brian every year , id like to go see frank in NM. and learn what he has to offer, its just that i think tools would be a good first thing to learn becose i can make the things i need to do other things. in 20 years ill be the guy you all talk about and the new guys come to learn from....

Dies to me are a tool for forming or cutting metal that travel along a fixed path with some sort of guide and often under power. did you read that ? that be the hammer and your arm....

you can do it that way, but you better stay off this site, you might learn something ....

nice pice , hows the leg go on the shaft ?

lol..what ?

thats funny you sead that cuz i split wood all day today , im an old farm boy i know all about that , still out of shape though....

was splitting wood today (try'n to get my striking arm in shape) and just got to looking and sead, i need a wood mallet to straighten out the iron after i twist it or anything other i need to do that's fragile, so i made me one... thats all....
