Well done  ( all of them )

I prefer nut size coal ( up to the size of a green walnut ) as that is what I started out with.

A lot of smiths prefer stoker or pea size coal.

If you start off with nut size and manage your fire properly you will be using stoker or pea size as you add coal around the edges and it breaks down during the working of the fire.

Yes it is slightly tapered with an approx 5/16 dia ball on the end

It is a very pleasant reprise from the everyday dulldrums to hear from a true Free spirit.

Keep in touch

Fast and simple

Really sorry to hear that

Nice job Jeremy

As USUAL Ted

Well thought out and well said

Cool Idea  pretty slick

Mine is 10 gage ( approx 1/8 ) 304 stainless steel with anvil shaped cut outs around its perimeter ( approx 4 ft in dia. ) and about 8 inches deep.

I resolve to be more resolute

The Secret of Blacksmithing is theres NO secret to Blacksmithing.

There may be hope after all

BRAVO Alec

Its refreshing to get a glimpse of the way it used to be from a young person of today.

That anvil is in pretty good shape from what I can see in the photo,it should serve you well

All around nice score

No lords-a-leapin?

:)

Nice looking Trivet

How are the  ( feet ) attached ?

As usual  - NICE WORK

Should come in handy for all the Cyber Smiths hereabout

I can make tongs

I also can make hambugers But I usually go to McDonalds and buy one.

OCP

Tom tongs

Billy tongs

All are made far better than anything ive ever done.

I have several tongs made by some of the best smiths out there,and as good as they are ,they are not as good as the Tom tongs etc.

Good to hear the itch is returning

No better way to scratch it than with a hammer

:)

Nice job on the tongs

Can't wait to see the hammer

Frosty

We like unsucessfull photos too :)

That way when you get it figured out it shortens our learning curve .

Actually my learning curve is more like a circle

Ive had a bunch of large anvils and have not had one any softer than any other anvil
