On my boss's farm, there is an old falling down blacksmith shop in the woods. He has no interest in it's contents, so he has let me pick through it a few times. It is full of leaves, dirt, trash, ect. This was my haul today, and should be my last, save for when he decides to tear it down and clean up the mess, then i'll be there to pick through the debris. Instead of attaching thumbnails to the post, i will just give you a link to the gallery. Enjoy. Findings in an old blacksmith shop - Blacksmith Photo Gallery
If anyone knows what some of the odd items are, please speak up. Irnsrgn informed me that the hooks with the right angles are for hanging meat on in smoke houses. Also, anyone know what the huge hardy tool is for? its about 3 foot tall. i'd have to set my anvil on the floor to use it!
Edit: I know what the chain vise is. its going to sit in wd40 for a while to loosen up, and i'l try refurbishing it. if its too far gone, no big.
