Here's my story !! My father was a metalworker all his life. He sometimes needed more then a torch to heat metal. He had his father's anvil, and some blacksmith tools from the farm. We found a forge, set it up in the shop where he worked. Now he had an A/C welder, torch set, metal benders and a coal forge. He made the tools he didn't have. When he retired, it all when to me. That was 22 years ago. It's been my hobby, and the greatest gift a father could give. His knowledge and his tools.
