Dont buy a fullering tool off ebay. I did and its complete junk. I should have bought the hardy and hammer and used my teenager as a striker. Lost a blade to it.

I use the same forge (but bought the 1 door model). Overall happy with it.

Welcome! And some advice I wish I had been given: buy a bigger propane tank!

Ask me why its not a good idea to use the same workbench for reloading and welding

Thank you sir! I will go ahead and see if I can work out a deal with the seller then. Appreciate your time and info!

Thank you.

Forgive if this has been asked already, I tried searching but struck out. There is a reasonable complete 12 ton hydraulic set up for sale I am interested in. (Motor, ram, pump). I am thinking it would be a good start on a forge press, but I dont know enough about converting ac to dc. Would this be as simple as buying a good transformer? If so, does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you for the update! My next purchase is going to be a fullering tool, every time I try to grind one it it looks just like yours.

Good thing medical masks are all the rage these days

Gotta second the idea of trying super quench. So far I am impressed by how well it can do vs oil or water.

What did you quench it in? Did you heat soak it?

I am no expert, and I think the Seattle area it nutso. But over here 1200 to 1500.

Just want to add in to what others have said. Do what you can to keep it. Uber/Lyft on nights and weekends could get you $900 pretty quickly. I suppose a second option would be to lease it out. I cant afford an anvil like that yet, but I would jump at a chance to rent one for a year or two while save for a better one. Just my 2 bits.

Looks good! I learned the hard way to make it taller than I think I will need it.

Welcome! I used to live in Elma, not too far away!
