yea that could help.......100lb beaudry

Has anyone used these? I was looking at them so I dont break up my concrete floor and to dampen noise. Any ideas or thoughts? What do you guys use......maybe im over thinking this.

OK guys been working on it.  Getting it back together heres a few pics. Dont look at my messy shop we moving everything  around.

Wow gold metallic runs easy lol. Got a few more to finsih and I will post some pics. Cant decide if i should paint hardware, bolts n stuff or buff out with no paint. What you think?

Painted parts tonight, I think im going with some gold accents to break up the black. Got me behind a little, but should turn out nice. Going to paint gold tomorrow. Hopefully start assembly friday or sat. Fingers crossed!!!!

Getting ready to build one from a 300 gallon fuel tank, 55 gallon for inside cooker. Going to be fun, hope it works. Just hope I can get enough wood around it to get it hot enough to form gases. I think it may be trial and error for a few times

Heres a few from disassembly, to powerwasher, wire wheeled, warming up near stove to prime. I will attach more later. Hope to prime and paint parts tomorrow.

Looool well I bought it all and more from same guy getting out of the busniess and had to drive 15 hours to get it. My poor Chevy was tired when I got home. I figured around 3500lb or more in the bed. Ive had the bug a couple months and playing around with it, doing research and learning what to buy and not to buy, and now getting serious after getting some equipment.  The hammer was bearly used but anvil is well used and could use some repairing. Been checking out how to stick weld to repair or I may wire wheel it and use it who knows. I will start another thread and hope to get some pics on here.

Incredible.....what a lot of work!!! Nice craftmanship all around.....

Hello all.....glad to meet you all. Looks like the place to be if your blacksmithing. I have a friend that does a little blacksmithing and I caught the bug or disease, not sure which yet. Ive hammered a little but waiting for my own eqiupment before I jump in to deep. I just joined a local club and Im just starting out and still buying equipment. Just bought a 100lb beaudry which have it apart now repainting it. Been looking for deals as I find them. I still have not got a forge. Not sure if I should make one or hold out for an old antique which Id prefer. Got a few hammers and a 380lb peter wright anvil.  Getting ready to set up shop after I make some room........Anyway you will be seeing me here and there asking dumb questions
