Equipment availability: area to area..
highlander replied to KYBOY's topic in Blacksmithing, General Discussion
I have a very hard time finding blacksmithing equipment where I live, so when I do find it, I buy it up so I have it incase I need it. -
your layout should be what YOU want and is what i most convenient for you. Pick an area of the shop you want to do most of your work in. place the equipment you use the most in close proximity to there. Less used equipment can go farther away.

second try at leaf keychain

yeah i realized that, i was just in a rush because i was tired. -
this is my result. it came out a little big because i was rushing to beat the storm clouds rolling in, as my forge sits outdoors while it is hot. try #1 melted in my coal forge when i wasn't paying attention. this one was made in my propane forge.
