Hey Guys, I appreciate all the info! I don't know why I didn't get into this trade earlier. Its been a blast so far, but you know how it goes when you're learning something new and begin having these "brilliant ideas" then realize down the road theres a good reason why professionals don't do it. Thats half the fun though while you're learning. However, just because redneck engineering runs in my veins doesn't mean I want to make a costly mistake.
Frosty I know what you mean after I finished this last forge I learned alot so naturally I see things I would've liked to change. Plus my brother-in-law works for Penhall and brought be a huge concrete hole saw (14" diameter x 18"-20" deep) Oh well though once I wear this one out I'll eventually get to put it to use.
