Yep

Turn the big wheel, where the belts run -pulley- by hand.

Can you wind it over by hand?

2hrs away? I'd drive up and get it mate.

Even at a tight stretch on the $, IMO, more than well worth buying.

Missing face plate kinda lowers the value, a lot.

Zero, the best clay/dirt is the stuff in your backyard, it's free!

IMO, just the borax mate

I use both 55gal and 5gal drums for side-draft chimneys, both work well.

You could but IMO really not worth the risks or the trouble mate.

Would the fumes from this "moly" be not good for you?

Hahaha it's a long story mate, but a trap for new players is a side-draft forge, a good bed of coke and a good dipper full of water, sounds like a shot-gun, shots flames back down beside the tuyere and a ball of flames 2' round above the forge, ohh and nearly a soiled pair of jeans. Dont try it at home.

Adding too much water to a forge fire can make a nice explosion, I mean big bang and big flames, I'm not a chemist but it's something to do with the hydrogen and the oxygen and the flames, not a good mix. Dont ask how I know.

Have you tried finding out what alloy it is from Subaru? 

I put felt over the valves and where they seat, no clack at all, quiet as.

"I swear on my Anvils" - Stephen Jones.

"I like Foundlings" - Glenn Moon.

Would make a good upseting block.

The way you have your timbers stacked they will absorb more of your hamer blow (not what you want) than if you have timbers stacked verticaly mate.

Get a good wood chip fire going first mate then add the coke from the edges, try not to smother it.

Good on ya mate, if you cant get pics or video up see if you can get them in the gallery.

Stay away from knife switchs, absolutely no reason to go with something that prehistoric or downright dangerous.

Hello Peter, welcome to IFI mate. Check out Oz Roll Call in Everything Else.

Can you make the socket AFTER you do the right angle? Then it may be possible to take the bend out, similar to if the socket was welded to the bar except it would be forged.

For sure mate
