Ya there's a lot of wood on the ground

Good luck with that. At least your shop is big it will take some time to fill with smoke..lol..your just like me... just had to have a Hood....lol

Big tree down just miss the house. Broke out a window. Now the lights are flickering all over town though got the shop all hot with the wood stove if I need to take the family out there

Thought it was I had a machinist vice from them. Just cool being that I'm from Kansas City..

American scale was a Kansas City company if I'm not mistaken?

Not wife but daughter

I'm in Missouri so can't help rather, but yes pics would be nice...

heres that old 1919 Fairbanks Morse Z motor i got , it runs like a champ !before the show season im going to clean it up some and do some tuch up paint and a fue other small things...theres a Hit and Miss Conversion for it i might do as its a throttle governing motor now..

For now...lol

im in the middle of that now... money is going to be the problem..but is it not for all things ?

i just went over there and yes that is what im looking at doing , what about the hammer weight ? they dont look to be a big size ... i have a motor out of a washer i could use , there like 3/4 horse though i think... i see now there classified by hammer size ... so if i have a 20 pound hammer size its a 20 pound hammer... ok so what size can i make it with the 140 pound anvil...

i know i have most all the stuff to weld up a power or treadle hammer , the base anvil is solid steel at 140 pounds , the frame is i-beem and square stock scrap i have, i got a truck spring for the top and all the other bits... the one thing i dont know is about the hammer , does it need to weigh a certen pounds ? or is it going to depend on if its power or treadle ? and on that note , what should it be ? im not shure ? would like to use it to help punch and fuller and some light drawing out. i only have 110 out in the shop though so if its power thats what i got...

going to be sweet.....

A Hood with a 10 in pipe will NOT work! Save your time and money I'm telling you I just went through this. Mine just barely works ,hood closed both sides 16 or so inch front with straight 12 inch pipe 3 foot over roof line...

Do 2 side draft hoods, if I wasn't going for looks with my hood I would smash it and do a side draft, or a straight 12 in. Pipe right over the pots straight out the top. Look around on here lots of info..

Yep just like me...

It's cast out of foam? It's light weight.. very detailed.. big piece, a foot long 10 inches tall.. it's in the middle of the wife's china cabinet..lol

LOL ya I guess

Alright cool man! Can't wait to see you come together!

It was Symmetrical I thought it looked off but it's just the angle of the picture. It was a nice piece. I've sold 4 of them since then

That's just cool man! Great job on it look forward to seeing some of your projects!

I have plans and material breakdown if you need it. It was just under $1000.00 . I did it in 2 parts, wood, then metal sheeting...

this is the only one i got , it came out good.... sold as a kit..

there small , i had one on a home made job i made , think its about 10 in. ? work good though !

its just a little shack, not much money in it... i do put a lot of time and love in it though, and it works grate ! yes more space would be nice , and no i cant make big gates inside it , but its a nice space to work.....and i have people stop and ask to watch me working with the doors open ! lol....they say it looks like a museum piece.. i think it looks like a cheep shack shop....lol..
