well, had the intrest for 25-30 yrs. and then one day my ol toolpusher(we were on seprate rigs) i ran into his wife that said mike had something for me at his house, went by there and it was a forge/blower set up by lancastor, and soon after i went to work in colorado where they have coal and it's been going every since- he really dosen't know what he done to me!!!

good luck am-i bought jj's old treadle hammer-still learning it though, congrats, jimmy

is a nice one. far as the arm goes...not used to usin them muscles? or your hammers too heavy-and technique that was mentioned before, or just a ol wore out rough hand that swung a 16# hammer most of his life- reguardless you will prevale!! above all... have fun!! remember what mom said bout playin with fire?????

ya'll please keep her on the list,aparently she has kidney stones or a infection-anyway the ol girl is having a rough time of it. more to come as things develope, thanks, jimmy & mary seale

copper will be better because it won't corrode,even with a dryer i'd suggest a drain at the low spots in the run. And what ever you use make a larger central manifold and take your run off it-it will have less pressure drop at the end. But above all, consider the way you run it. Keep it as protected as you can,and drain it and your tank on a regular basis. I took a drain off a truck that has a cable on it -that way when you drain tank you don't have to bend down or possably get dirt, etc. in your eyes-good luck, jimmy.sorry bout being so long winded..

on the list here-god bless, jimmy& mary seale
