About three weeks ago I decided " Hey I can do this" and now I'm kinda hooked. I quickly built a little forge out of an old small weber grill,scrape pipe and a hair dryer. This lasted about a couple hours and I was off to the store and bought the stuff to build a larger rotor style forge.This works well but I have come across a couple other forges.One is a smaller rivet style forge in excellent shape. Hand crank blower is smooth to turn and is a Canedy otto blower. The second forge is a buffalo forge 02 or 02D from the old pictures I've found( I could be very wrong on the model # though). This forge is also in excellent shape. just kinda wondering which would be the better forge to use.
The little rivet style forge and blower I can get for $140
The big buffalo I can get for $200 from the same guy that I bought my 157lbs PW,post leg vise and a couple hand crank blowers from.
As I'm typing this I'm thinking the best idea might be to just buy both of them.
