Little Turtle Forge

my two personal ones that have gotten me a couple of sales just being able to show them as conversational pieces. shameless.

It's pretty crazy this old post just popped up, first though, Jeremy, awesome work, i love everything about it! It's crazy because just yesterday i was out in the shop and I looking at some older pics i had snagged off the intro-nets. I am trying to replace as much of the hardware in the bathroom as i can forge so i was trying to get some idea juice flowin' and i came across your knocker. I thought that it looked like a fun challenge for the day and if the sides were lengthened it'd make an excellent hand towel holder next to the sink. So in short my humble version of a towel rack based on your knocker, thanks for the idea!! The ring isn't tightened all the way yet so i can polish it up first. The ring also started out as 3/4 round stock, i just squared it up.

I snapped the handle off the fridge one night moving some chairs through the kitchen,and to keep the Mrs happy i made this guy the next day

Thanks guys, my thoughts exactly with the 70 lb guy!

Very cool, how much did it set you back?

Frosty The Lucky.

I was able to pick her up new, and no shipping from our local farrier supply, but it was still just around $960 or so, I bought a lot of stock that day and paid in cash and got another 15% off my total bill Love that place.

What is the weight on that beauty?

200 lbs and the stand is around 50 lbs. A nice upgrade from my 70 lb n.c. tool big face.

Great idea, doing it tomm.!

Thanks for the concern guys! no grinding necessary I got her brand new and she's only 4 months old!

I LOVE this anvil!! Awesome. 

Hey bud! Welcome to the site! Cumberland Elkhorn Coal in Louisville is the place i know of. It can be a bit pricey for being in coal country at $400 a ton, or I think $12 for a 50 lb bag. Stockhoffs our local farrier supply unfortunately only has propane forges.
