Marc1 - what do you think of this blower? Do you know anything about or does anybody else? Dayton Model 1TDP7 Blower 146 CFM 3100 RPM 115V 60/50hz

I’m willing to spend money to buy good tools but I’m not gonna drop a grand on a blower lol. I’m hoping I can try and get something for free from an old Peice of factory machinery to try out. If not though I’m willing to spend 150 ish, and I feel as if the hair dryer isn’t getting my fire hot enough. That said maybe I’m giving to much air, I’m at the begging of that learning curve lol. I’m addition it is the tsc nut coal.

And right now I’m currently in the very beginnings and still making leaves. I’m in about my 5th leaf. Once I get more hammer control down and figure out my heat I’ll mostly be making tools for the whole smithing experience and for iron work as that is my trade.

I’m Using anthracite for the time because it’s the only thing sold within 3 hours so I loaded up on it a bit because it’s a bout a 3 hour drive. Im heavily leaning on bottom blast when I go to make it I’m still looking at those options. I think I’m liking what I’ve read about the brake rotar pot and how it collects dust and from what I’ve seen those were all bottom blast, that said I saw nothing saying they can’t be side blast? Anyway tell me what you think Buzzkill

Right now I’m using a hairdryer in a hole in the ground, plan on building a 55 drum forge I saw on here. I’m wondering what’s the best bang for my buck blower or even if I should use a blower vs bellows
