I am a web programmer by trade so let me know if you need any help. I'm also good at data entry if it comes down to copy and pasting a ton of data into the new system. I know your frustration we switched form a 32bit windows 2003 server to a 64bit 2008 and it was a whole load of problems.

Got it all done up and gave it a fire today. Put a piece of iron in it and got it to forging temp really fast. Thanks for the input guys but I'm heading back out to dose more more work lol
Later.

the refractory stuff i got says 1/8 inch max. Read the lable twice and bought a set of thick gloves to throw away after words.

Ill post a pic once i get it all done. Should take over 2000 degrees. the refractory stuff i mean.

The blower turns fine as far as i can tell. I it makes noise but i think that's normal. I still cant believe they were selling it as a grill. If you look at it. There is a text that says "Clay forge before using" lol.

I also bought a bucket of refractory cement along with some other stuff. Will that work to line the inside?

So i was at a local auction and baught a forge that they were selling as a grill. No joke. So was this worth the couple of bucks i paid for it? Whats a good price range for this? In new and just getting into this stuff.

Thanks for the info, hoopeston is close to Kankakee so im ganna try there. I cans seam to find a scrap metal dealer near me, we have a auto junkyard and thats about it. ganna see if i can get leaf springs from that guy cheap. Ill look for that other link as well.

Im really new to this but already love this craft. That being said im living in a very small town and am having trouble getting matierials to work with. I recently got like 20 leafsprings form some old cars and a bucked of railroad spikes. So i have some metal to work with for awile. Thing is im trying to price material but the quotes im getting locally seam really high. Whats a good price for stock? Also if anyone knows a good price for 18g sheetmetal i would be intrested.

Im a computer programmer actually. Lol gusse we all need to get away from computers from time to time.
