Very Nice.

We have a pair of Barred owls aka Hoot owls that hang around the farm. Very cool to listen to and watch at night.

Awesome job!

Man that is pretty slick well done.

Came out great! Very cool pattern.

On a secondary note, i had my first burning metal happen while heating multiple pieces. Was yelling at our pitbull puppy for eating pecans in the back yard (im in the back pasture outside the barn) and check my rr spikes i was working in tomahawks and melted the dang heads off of them. So the new setup gets hotter much faster!!!

Hello from another Texan.

Good tips, i like the fence idea, will be my next project. I was actually using the leaf spring to melt wax to make a few dozen egg carton fire starters, kept my melt can from tipping over or melting.

Version 1.1-moved up the forced air supply, and added a ball valve to control air flow (using a shop vac for air supply-on blower mode) Still need to work on the ashgate idea. Definetly gets alot hotter quicker with the air supply 18" closer.

Very nice. The copper looks great the way you used it.

Dang sure the fanciest wrench knife I have seen. Awesome job.

If anyone works in the automotive field, or has access to a Mac distributor these hammer definitely keep the hand fatigue down, they have a dampening system in the hndle: (about $60 each) http://www.mactools.com/en-us/Striking-and-Struck/Hammers/SH2AV/AntiVibe-Blacksmith-Hammer-2-lbs- http://www.mactools.com/en-us/Striking-and-Struck/Hammers/947e7bb5-9f7e-44a5-a209-a30a014f0fe5/AntiVibe-Drilling-Hammer http://www.mactools.com/en-us/Striking-and-Struck/Hammers/99f40cb5-da83-4a65-89c6-a30a014f137f/AntiVibe-Sledge-Hammer

Very cool.

Just curious what everyone likes to forge the most? I am a big axe/hawk fan, I have several in process. Making a sign for the farm as well but with all the bending for the letters that going to be a lengthy project. I also like knives but have not forged one full, i cut a few out from leaf springs and forged in the bevels but have not finished anything yet.

Very cool.
