if i find a good hand crank blower i could send the electric blower i have your way

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.

Take care of her Art, prayers are on the way

Thanks Sam.

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.

Hello ladies and gentlemen, I was just wondering whether anyone on the site lived in the Bucks County area of Pennsylvania, or the Frenchtown/Flemington area of NJ (I'm right near both)

Well if he doesn't see it frosty, at least someone else might =) It's quite a simple concept really, i may use it if i ever make a trailer for demoing. and Dave, i wanna see a picture of this beauty when you're done with it.

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

lol that works, my friend runs his off a shop vac in reverse and it works awesome.

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.

it is rail tie, it works ok, but i need to find a better base for it, has a bit too much bounce

i've used it a bit, but i've made upgrades

here ya go, you even can catch a glimpse of the pitiful piece of metal i call an anvil

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.

that's a story that leaves you feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.

i would be interested in a blower as well. you can send me a private message for price negotiation

alright thanks

I live in Bucks County, hbu?

here is a picture of the "anvil" i have been using. It weighs in at a skimpy 20 pounds, but it's all i have to pound on for now. Sorry bout the picture quality, it was taken on my cell phone. Any ideas for how to improve this until i can get a real anvil?

lol nash i have been looking for some plans, thanks for the link. thanks for the info on the guy in allentown as well DKforge, you all are really helpful =).

Hey guys, I have seen a lot of posts about the blowers, and I was wondering what i should look for to have a chance of finding a hand crank blower (i.e. garage sales, flea markets, etc.). thanks,

yeah i'm just gonna leave one layer of bricks to make my fire pot deeper.

As for uploading, i'm a 16-year-old, i can figure most stuff out just poking around. =).

I will be making changes tomorrow and hopefully get a picture with it fired up.
