Hello,
This is my first posting here, so I hope I do it correctly. I got started about 15 years ago and was only starting to learn with a portable riveting forge, but gave it up due to family obligations. Now that my kids are older, I would like to get back into it. There is a fellow selling the below forge, and I was wondering if I could get your opinions as to how effective this forge would be. Unfortunately, I only have the pictures that he has posted.
My first concern is that the pot is at the very back. It would appear that I would not be able to put a long piece into the hottest part of the pot. He has not answered my question yet but also it appears that the plate is not very thick.
This would just be a hobby for me, and the price is certainly right, but there is no point in buying it if it is poorly designed.
Anyway, I would appreciate the opinions of the people here who would know better.
Thanks so much
Brad
