I'm in the process of building me a little building-{ 8X16 } to work out of and I was wondering what size stove pipe should I get I was thinking ten inch.Or could I get by with less,, Your opinune please. And thanks in advance.

Good subject.. Just wondering did you make you a touch mark.

I picked these up at a antique shop. I paid $ 175. for the Blower. And paid $40. for the post vise

I'm going to get me some safety glasses, and have been looking around alot of them just protect from stuff flying threw the air. but there's a few good sites out there and there expensive, But I guess the cost is a good investment. Here's a link to one place I found on line. didymium

I still gotta get the picture's I got alot of it done I still have to build the door and cover alittle bit more of the front. I have a dirt floor and plan to get some sand and put it down and then get some of the 12X12 patio blocks , I'll sink them in the sand then take a broom and sweep , and I'll have me a good floor and when I get around to building a bigger one . I'll use the old floor. { Patio Blocks) for the new building. I took a bunch of old roofing tin that a friend give me and thats my outside wall, I gotta feel in some holes .But that won't be no problem..

this sounds like fun .. I hope it comes together...

I want to get my building done and lose about 50 lbs and learn alot about the art of Blacksmithing.

I was in the Army from 1980 till 1983, for the first part of my term I was stationed at Ft Campbell,Ky I was with Bco 158 Aviation, BLT. I was a 64 charlie, Truck Driver. The second part of my tour I was stationed with 226th S&S 13th S&S BLT. over in Ludwiggsburg, Germany, at Flak Kaserne. I know this is a small world we live in and Can't never tell one of my friends from the Army just might be a member of IFI...

Thanks god he is alive, I was down in Laredo at truck stop a few month's back, and had just ate breakfast, Walked outside and there was another driver laying on the ground and the paramedics Were trying to save his life. I could tell by looking in his eyes that he had moved on. Rough way to start a day. I'll be praying for your brother.and you all..
