I'm trying to make a hand bellows for my portable forge. Guess I'm getting to cheap to buy one on ebay. Seems like with freight you are looking at around $150+. :confused:Anyone know of any plans on the internet? I understand the outside, but not sure about the inside of the bellows. Thanks Mike (mnray@aol.com) Houston, Texas:confused:

I've been doing a little blacksmithing, but now I'm trying my hand at tinsmithing. I need to make about 8 coffee cups for my chuckwagon. Problem is everytime I cut my bottom out and try to bend the edge over a round mandrel I keep getting little points where the tin won't fatten out. I live in Houston, Texas (mnray@aol.com) Any suggestions?:(
