  1. I have two 50gal drums of coal that I need out of my shop while we have an open house for prospecting buyers. The deals is, you can use the coal for as long as you hold on to it for me. Also it would probably help if you have a truck to load it into. I sold mine so I can't deliver it. Pm me if interested. Ill try to check my account periodically.
  2. Andorra for sure, small little place with iron ore, pine(for charcoal), and is seated between Spain and France so there should be plenty of history and clients on either side. Plus it's beautiful. Hopefully I can take my wife and kid there on vacation. :)
  3. I waited for it to come on when he announced it on his YouTube channel....but I guess he meant NEXT year. Lol can't wait though, he makes some good stuff including shirts, one of which I bought recently.
  4. Eternal rest grant into him O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.
  5. Welcome to Tucson, hope to see you at the open forge tomorrow. ^_^
  6. Just wondering what you all have been day dreaming about and hope to get someday. I'll start with two simple one's This bigornia and a brian brazeal rounding hammer 3lbs. :D
  7. Just watched it and it wasn't bad, I was hoping the kid was gonna be a blacksmith. Lol, anyways I'm glad someone is trying to make new songs for Christmas instead of just remixing the old ones over and over and over and over.....
  8. Hey yves, I also love forging to the blues....would you happen to know what song is playing at 5:46 of the video?
  9. <script type="text/javascript"> // hmmm....i like that idea. thanks
  10. Thanks for the advice, hopefully I can post some sketches soon and see what you guys think.
  11. I'm planning on building a portable forge that can function as a side blast(for charcoal)or as an undeblast(for coal), and after searching IFI and Google I've not found anything. Anybody build one of these yet or have some blueprints? I was thinking the basic idea resembling the WWII "suitcase" forge with a door on the side and bottom so I can switch depending on my fuel.
  12. I....NEED.....ONE! I wonder if anyone could make some fabrication plans, it would be a fun project. Coolest thing I've seen yet.
  13. wow, talk about efficient. I never would've thought about just hitting it in the fire, forging IN the forge...it just makes sense, and I'll second that anachronist58.
  14. Back when I was a kid and I played video games my favorite was one called Alundra, one of the main characters was the local blacksmith named Jesse. He'd make all your weapons and armor, if you ever get the chance I highly recommend it, it's for PS1.
  15. Wish we could celebrate something here with all the smiths. Maybe someday in the future, just need to find a way to make it worth everyones while. John, how else did you all celebrate over there? Drinks(after forging, of course)?Anvil Firing?Racing? Curious as to how many blacksmithing games we have among us....
  16. Happy St. Clements day. Anyone here have him as their patron saint? St. Clement ora pro nobis

    Fireplace Set

    wow that's a nice set. I like the leaves on the end of the handles that was a nice touch. good job.
  18. Welcome to Arizona, don't know why you'd wanna leave alaska though....that place is amazingly beautiful.
  19. Welcome to the site...I'm glad to see someone from Spain. I found out recently my great great grandfather was a blacksmith from my mothers hometown Madrid. Hopefully I can get more info on his life as one and even visit his shop if it's still around. Maybe you could give us some yours of some blacksmith shops around your area, I would love yo see some pictures and videos.
  20. Welcome to the site, glad to see another Tucsonan join. As for you're question maybe you can try the torch as a side blast like when using charcoal, that way its out of the way of falling debris. Good luck.

    Anvil stand

    wow I really like it. Nice design. You should put little paddles underneath the handles of the hammers so you can pop them up for a little showmanship. lol.
  22. I like those twisted ones. Glad to hear your forging again...I know how it can be with work. I wish I could do it everyday(heck, even professionally) so far I can only get around to doing it twice a week. :(
  23. Nice, I hsould make my slack tub out of metal....so far it's a plastic trash bin. :/ :wacko:
  24. Nice, what was the anvil made out of? Sweet iron perhaps? :P
