Well Ill tell y’all this much. I rebuilt my brick forge using a lot of good advice but still staying in my “budget”. I’m getting a good clean, and hot fire that finally moves metal. I got me a good oak stump for my terrible ASO and it makes a world of difference. With that being said I’ve now gone from a “kind of liking this” sort of attitude, to a “I’m gonna spend my entire next paycheck on blacksmithing tools and items” attitude. How the xxxx do you guys fight this? Now I think I need a belt grinder, a real anvil and fire bricks cause I keep melting my crappy house bricks, a torch set, new hammers (in a few sizes) a polishing kit, a bench vise, etc, etc. What can I do to either curb the spending or find these items for cheap, so I don’t sell my truck for an auto hammer? (Kidding)
