When your coal fire starts to smoke punch a hole in the top and allow the smoke to catch fire. Less smoke equals less smell. As for me coal smoke smells fantastic!

Harry sir My first forge area was an 8' x 8' shed almost killed myself with carbon monoxide. Never again. The next was 8'x8' 3 sided shed' The next was a 3 sided 40' x20' loafing shed with push out openings on the north (downwind side). Currently I am using a 12' x 16' awning never again will subject myself to carbon monoxide poisoning It is the worst headache one will ever experience. I hope you are still around to read this response. Welcome aboard we are here to help you have a good experience

The short answer is yes on the license plate holder. I have never seen one on this site -- YOUR'S WOULD BE THE FIRST! and yes get sucker rod -- good stuff!

What about using a rifle brush to clean out the rust with vinegar or something similar as the (soap) to clean it out. Don't give up too easily on the solution!

I bet he has never invited his insurance agent over for some splitting fun!

Look for real silver and antiques in those coins they are still to be found!

The problem is not with the media but with the air supply. There are water separators for supply lines. However with enough air supply pressure this problem can be overcome. But you still will not be happy. Been there suffered the results.

My Uncle in northern nebraska lost his hearing this way. He sued. How the suite ended I never heard. Non-the less he lost his hearing. I would never do this to an anvil.

You will find a use for them Just takes time.

this is why I only burn coal

HEAP What about deer hangers for deer hunters? Not hard just a center lifting point and a couple of square sharp pointed ends for the hocks.

Good grab!! Looks good

Sorry if I came across as harsh (I reread my post). Yes the directions are accurate get the bearing in the pipe then ream. Wish you well on the spencer.

I am not a hammer guy, however the important measurement at this point is the O D of the oilite bearing and the ID of the pipe. I don't have any books handy for schedule 80 pipe.

No camera at the moment hope to fix that problem soon

Let me brag a little here about chisel marks on anvil legs! The marks on mine are deeper than yours!! However they are not on the important top plate. use it in good health for years. Like a skin doctor told me years ago "in your case it is not a beauty mark, but a scar and a badge.

7A749 Sir you said a mouthful of common sense.

Don"t blister your thumb however you hold it!!

Use the area behind the low spot for a straight area and the low spot for straitening your piece that is how I use my low spot

WOW use it in good health and make some beautiful art!

My brother and I used to weld together. We would discuss a plan of attack and then do the job. These were mostly weird jobs. He was a better welder than me so I would do the fitting, or rolling pipe. We rarely spoke. Now with smithing I preferred working alone. As Kozzy above it is the zone!

Mine has an anchor stamped on the left foot. 140 lbs

Just use it in good health yours and the anvil It will clean up just like mine did!

The other alternative to your blower is to keep looking for a hand crank blower They are infinity adjustable. Nice looking forge keep up the good work!

Not yet all of my stuff is still in storage in Texas. I am planning to talk to the county soon about building/electrical permits. My stepson and me are planning to go retrieve it all soon! to go
