    I always suggest reading this to get the best out of the forum. READ THIS FIRST I don't know of any budget presses and if I did I wouldn't put my well being in their midst.

    Welcome to IFI... Have you read this yet? READ THIS FIRST It will help you get the best out of the forum. I'm sure the burner gurus will need more information on your setup to give you an idea whats wrong.

    Aubry your forge looks good. My suggestion is to move it outside when running, especially if the garage is attached to the house. Propane forges emit CO which is odorless & tasteless and deadly. CO will infiltrate the house and CO poisoning is nothing to take a chance with. Make sure you have CO detectors working.

    Definitely go through the wall with Uri Hofi style side draft. We did the two coal forges at ESSA like that (modified closer to the outside wall) and they are super suckers for sure. A link for those who have not seen them. https://www.iforgeiron.com/topic/23197-bp1048-side-draft-chimney/?tab=comments#comment-235913

    What did you pay for it in 2015? be a good starting point in figuring out price per pound where you are located. Last year I bought a 106 pound Hay Budden for $1.89 U.S. per pound.

    When a musician hits a bad note, it goes away, but a blacksmith mistake, you are immortal!~ Anvil

    We won't remember this once leaving this post, hence the suggestion to edit your profile to show location, as in this post. READ THIS FIRST It will help you get the best out of the forum.

    Here is another link with step by step directions that show a complete rose better than that video. https://blacksmith.org/wrapped-rose/

    Your posts show up normal to me. Might check the underlined A in the editor next to size. That lets you select a different color.

    I usually make the Russian Rose, forged from flat stock. Here is a link to how I make mine (I usually add some more petals).

    The weather head on our coal forge was easy to make out of thin stainless steel opening is 1.5x the diameter of the flue. It works very well and only lets water in if the wind is blowing hard in the right direction. The pictures you have would let water in from any direction with wind.

    Welcome to IFI... We won't remember where you are from once leaving this post, hence the suggestion in this thread to add your location. READ THIS FIRST BTW: What else other than the tags you put in do you want to know about it?
  15. Irondragon Forge ClayWorks
    I have 3 or 4 pair for different thickness stock and use them all the time. I'd say you did OK.

    It also depends on how bad you want/need an anvil on what one is willing to pay. If I needed or really wanted it, I would take $400 cash and do my best haggling.

    I don't think Henry Wright is a rare maker and at $3.64 U.S. per pound for it, with the worn edge like that it to me is a little high. If it passed the rebound and ring test it will probably sell at that price however, I would pass.

    We still have no idea where in the world you are located, hence the suggestion to edit your profile to show location. A lot of answers are dependent upon location. Also I think the Read This First thread addresses the use of the @(name) tag.
  19. Irondragon Forge ClayWorks
    Have you checked here?

    Welcome to IFI... Where in the world it's located would also help. That's why it is suggested to edit your profile to show location and read this to get the best out of the forum. READ THIS FIRST

    Welcome to Ifi... Your English is just fine, much better than my Italian. If you edit your profile to show your location it will help when answering questions. This will help getting the best out of the forum. READ THIS FIRST

    Might check with the smartphone stores. They sell impact resistant clear glass covers for phones in different sizes.

    Good play on the name, but not like any actual Cavalry (traveling) anvil I have seen. If it were, I would be all over it, to go with our pack forge.

    That plant hanger is quite unique, I like it.

    I also replaced a couple of fluorescent lights with LED's. One in the Smithy with a pull chain so I can turn it off when looking at the steel color and the other over my work bench in the garage, wow what a difference. I plan to eventually replace all the lamps in both shops.
