  1. Thank you very much gerald, that does help a lot.
  2. I am working on putting my first resume together and I'm wandering if anyone can give me some hints on what whould be appropriate to include in it. One thing that I am thinking about is if I should include martial arts teaching experience or not. Some people have told me that it would be good to have becaue it shows initialtive and dedication. Some have told me that employer nowdays don't care about what you do outside of work. If anyone has any idea that could help, it would great. Thanks.
  3. No I haven't seen that, but I will look around for it and take a look. My plan is to make it out of an old BBQ grill, maybe two of them joined together.
  4. Thank you very much for the thoughts, but another problem that I have to deal with is that our water table is very high. If I dig about a foot or maybe even less I pretty much get a hole with water. And I don't mean damp soil. I mean a I get a hole full of water.
  5. Not at all, my original idea was to make an underground forge. But, not only is south Florida abundant with crap soil but we also get a xxxx load of rain and I figured that it would just get ruined.
  6. Hello Thomas, unfortunatelly i live in south Florida and we do not have naturally occuring clay. But, i did find a place on line where I think I can get the type clay that i need. My blower is in great working conditions and i think that i might have my forge up and running in the next week or so. Thank you everybody for your help. I will be posting my progress.
  7. Man, work sure gets in the way of fun. Well i finally got my blower in good working conditions, cleaned the gears, lubed it, and put the thing back together. And, now it's working just about like new. Now i need to get the adobe (still not sure where to get it, i have not found any place locally where i can buy it), and get my forge together. I really cannot wait.
  8. So, i just got done taking apart and cleaning the blower. The old grease looked like cake on the gearse. As it turned out i ended up having to make a little bushing for it, not the fan rotates freely and without any problems. When i get home today i'm going to grease it up and put it back together.
  9. Hello Thomas, I just got done taking the blower apart and the fan is completely loose inside. I think I
  10. Thank you very much Thomas, i will do that as soon as i get home today. I've been meaning to open it up, but i was not sure if it was something to do with it being old. Thanks again.
  11. It seems to me like the dricve shaft has some slack and it makes the whole thing move. When i turn the lever, it also clicks as it turns. Thanks. Plin.
  12. hello , i just pickecked up an old forge blower. It sems to be in good working order, but the fan inside makes a noice like the think is loose, and when i touch it, it is infact loose. Is this how it should be, or should it be nic and snugg in there?
