    Hello Jason and welcome to the site, You'll probably want to make you some tongs and tools to forge with, You can find all kinds of good idea's in the Blueprint section. I also have a drum forge, and it works pretty darn good. I have a squirrel cage " Heater Motor" outta a 64 chevy truck, and it supplys the air..

    I guess I'll put my 2 Cents in here. From what I know about Blacksmithing / Metal Fabricating.. You have to be pretty darn talented to make a good living at it, Plus have alot of knowledge and a shop with tools that can get the job done, I would suggest the medical field, and just do the blacksmithing as a Hobbie, Thats my thoughts on this subject. and I hope you make a good decision.

    your shop looks good. I want to build me one in the future. I got some of those flat square blocks that I'm going to put down in the floor they are about a foot by a foot. and I think they will work good.
