I smoke ! NOT ALOWED UNDER 18 :)

Except IFI ?

Thanks Glenn your work is apreciated and it helped me a lot. It had opend my eyes many times. Multumesc !

nice wheel i could use one as well 2 sharp my kitchen knives...Most of them don't cut :)

What are you going 2 make next when you have some spare time ? i sugest a TANK here is a link for inspiration Nice tea spoon you made there

All you have to do now is cut of the horn Just kidding ! Greate job

All the fabricating/forging/asembling/welding inside... Grinding outside caz of the heavy dust

hmm... beeing on a blacksmithing forum... If i whoud want 2 sell you a fake that would look like that it whoud be easyer for me to forge it by hand or some kind of hammer but not drop hammer .If i want 2 sell hundreds than i whould invest into a drop hammer and some dies...quite expensive thow for making 1...5...50 replica.Even casting it for me probably whoud be 2 mutch of a trouble.I think you need the original one or a forged/machined one in orderd 2 make the mold and then all the rest of the casting proces.Just my thought

Nice 2 see your work and welcome to the forum ! I love the bench !

Who made this anvil i just got it 2day No markings no nothing about it looks strange thow.Any ideas ?

E pacat sa o arunci Althow in Romania you can not sell a damascus patern knife this does not mean it has no value

hmm... My tank is BIG reaches up until my shoulders don't know how many LB's but still freezes up.I always keep a buket of water close to the forge flames so i have hot water 2 pour over the Tank.2 burners 0.6mm nozzel each

It does not cover Romania

:) he he it's amusing reading all this horn no horn dressing no dressing I also ,,kiled'' an anvil it was old... and full of charater and then .... i took the angle grinder and ''fixed" it.I have no regret's now althow all the hard work that the previos owner did on it was wiped out in half a day's work:).I was asked the same ...why did u do that why not keep it in the original style ...it was so charming ? I still have no unser but i think i did it caz the anvil was cring for it.If you see an old man sick needing some pills and you think that the pill that you have will help him...It's natural 2 give. Before and after :)

MIKE: it lasts me about a month with serious forging...1 month(How big is the tank ?) mine only abount 15....20 Hours

Ho ho any way i do it it's not good but the best way to do it in my opinion is like this 30% when ordering day 1...65% when all assembled and ready to install inside the shop and 5% after the instalation/delivery ! I have 4 customers that i wait for the money for about a year long still hoping :)

Here are some of my anvils NO NAME I am still waiting for a BIG one :)

This is my air hammer 11kw engine 2 peaces costed 1.000 USD about a year ago.It still sits on the wooden beams
