its actually 129 lbs and her face is starting to shine up, spent all day yesterday and part of today forging a campfire tripod with a hook to control the temperature. never thought I would consider such hard work so much fun.
my forge is wood believe it or not, it is a wooden frame that houses about 6 inches of dirt, and it is packed in a cone shape in the center where I have a Stainless Steel shower strainer to cover the hole enough to keep the coal from falling threw. my bellows is a shop vac 3.5 hp and it gets super hot, I know this less than ideal for forging stuff that has to be "clean" of impurities. I am going to get a true coal forge as soon as possible. and my hammers are just cheap harbor freight hammers. my tongs are some that i made out of rebar, i have a set of wolf jaws and a classic C clamp set. I am using "stoker coal" because it was we have in southern Colorado.
