Zarc, if you're ever looking to send in an application to a possible future employer, have someone you know look it over. If need be, I'd be glad to look it over. Anyway, got to run right now, just realized I'm late to school. Good luck. -Collin

Hey guys, I woke up this morning and my mom told me that my shop teacher passed away from a massive heart attack. His daughter found him, so she is shaken up. If you could keep his family in your prayers, I would greatly appreciate it, they as well as my school can use all of the prayers they can get. -Collin

my leaf may not be the best, but you will still be receiving one from me. -

you can draw out the tip of it, and twist it. then you can punch it and put a nice leather strip through and make keychains or necklaces

my original set up was a salvaged one, the scalloped bricks on the bottom were from our old flower bed, the rotors are from our repair shop, the fan is from the shop's old furnace, and the fire bricks are from a friend who's parents are sculptors. the only thing that cost me money was the plumbing, which set me off about $50 dollars. so i got lucky with the salvaging.

Stories behind smithy/forge names...
nts replied to elkdoc's topic in Blacksmithing, General Discussion
If mine becomes a business i wanna name it Hidden Tree Forge cause way back when, i used to play in a huge tree in my back yard and it was my hidden get away place. seeing as my forge is going to be right under it, i think Hidden Tree Forge is fitting. -
here are pics of the blower with the housing on it, just need to foil tape a few joints and charge up the car battery for it.

Hey guys, just wanted to show you all the blower my dad got me out of a GMC truck, glad to see they finally have a use =P, just kidding, but yeah, it's one of the perks of being the son of a mechanic.
