My Godfather has been blacksmithing since I was little and I'm 45 now. I was always amazed at his creations. I caught the bug a few years ago and have been reading up on it. My Dad gave me a truck brake drum to start my own forge a few years ago. I bought a metal table at a local metal salvage yard. Its probably a little too big, but I figure it will hold tools.
After checking out what I saw on this forum, I realized that it was WAY too deep (photo # 2), so 3 cutting wheels and 6 sawzall blades later, I have a shallower fire pit (Photo # 3 is finished product). I had to weld tabs on the bottom to hold it level with the table. I wanted to ask for some opinions before I started welding too much more. All I have for some border is the two angle brackets to keep the coal in the table. I need to get some more. I also have the supplies to make the blower.
Don't mind the vice, that will be removed. I used it for holding metal while I cut outside. I hated sweeping up metal in my garage. Unless people think that it might work out where it is? I also have the anvil that was my great-grandfathers.
