  2. i have a 100 pounder at home and i agree that they are very quiet anvils.. the faces are quite soft and mark eassly
  3. you would most likley need fire bricks and i would not recommend concrete...sometimes it will explode if heated...... you can try brake drum forge also....no concrete or bricks needed

  10. i got the idea from ironrose who made the thread about whatca goona make, so lets see some things you have made! Comeon people we know you have made x-mas gifts!
  11. dude, im 13 and i have never had a job......i worked by the hour for my dad somethimes at his work, but i kostly get money from chores, i have been forging since may this year and within the first month i had an anvil and a completely functional forge, i found 1000 pounds free smithin coal that a smith thought was givin him lung probs and took that, i had a full setuf with pundes and hammers but never tongs...... I am saying that you should ask you parents to give you some jobs round the house, work for friends parents i dunno stuff like that..... try looking on craigslist for tools and coal... When i moved to california (2 months ago) my dad had not been able to bring al my smithin stuff down so i had to wait, and i am still waiting, i have a HF 55# aso with 2 ball pein hammers, 2 pairs of plyers for tongs 2 store bought punches and one hand made one, Make your own punch i made mine from 1/2 inch or bigger round. works great do some lookin, make some money, forge some tools. you have lots of tools!
  12. its cool!, I tried to make a heart hook but it broke before i had a chance to form the heart.....ill try again though
  13. ill give it a shot, it sems simple enough
  14. heart hooks, towel holders, candel holders and some hardware for a table
  15. well its that time of year again and i figure that i should forge my mom some stuff... She recently got a house so i was thinking of flower holders and somthing to do with a heart...has anyone got any ideas? Any pictures? Nothing that uses stock that is hard to find, i have lots of rebar, i was looking at daves gallery (fieryfurnaceforge) and he has a cool candelholder that i may try.........
