But I live near Huntsville, AL the heart of rocket science.

Okay so I have a wealth of scrap lumber from tearing a deck down. And i'm poor in the scrap angle iron and welding department. Will a wood frame work for a side blast forge? Also I have a few options for what makes up the table surface. I have some OSB that I could lay down, cover with plastic or paint, I have a 1 ft square by 3 in tile for a walking path. I have a stainless steel double sink. I have a concrete bird bath about 2.5 ft across. Plenty of random bricks and red Alabama clay. If this its what you had to work with what do you think the best setup would be? I've already got some 3/4 in black steel pipe for the air. Thanks in advance. I'll try to get some pics during the day tomorrow to show all the raw materials.

Kubiak is that entire box filled with coal? If not what'd you fill it with and how far up did you go?

Hi everyone. I've been a long time lurker. Had this railroad coupler for about 5 years and finally got up the gumption to mount it so I can use it as an anvil. Found it half buried in gravel off to the side of the railroad....anyways finder keepers and I figure that statute of limitations is probably up anyway. This one shows where I started off with just a square tube made up of either 2x10's or 2x12s pulled from an old deck. To that tube I added a wide base and a shelf to place tools. I plan to also add a place to hang tongs. I'm considering adding some more wood to the bottom and mounting some wheels that are normally not touching the ground but if you angle it slightly you can roll it. Its a bit of an odd shape so I added a cut out piece of wood to lock it down on the stand. The inside is empty (except for a pen that fell down inside and I was tired of lifting that big thing any more) but I may consider adding sand to the inside when it finds its finally resting place. Now I just have to scrounge up some materials for a forge. I'm considering using brake roter and the lid to a 55 gallon drum with legs attached in some manner. I have a brother in law that can weld so I may try to get him to weld some legs on. I'm also open to using the deck to a push mower as I've seen some good looking examples of this on youtube. Thanks for looking.

How big is the dowel plug approximately?

Cool. My sister lives in Ozark, MO.

do you stabilize the wood for the handle as blocks? Before you work them?

before or after swimming?

Being in NYC I imagine you could make appointments with childproofing consultants and have some fun with that table.
