Starting to play

thoughts on hole size and hoe far to stick burner in? IMG_0814.MOV

Raw material hour with boy..found an anvil sort of from ripped up tracks in backyard

Thanks for replies. gas to start yes, in city. Will play and yup not married to one..ill let him explore and probably make a smaller new one brick too...yup stainless..i hope i ordered..

Ya actually its my backyard, and found out the trail going in I actually own to the center of tracks, and of course they ripped up and sold the iron...a month ago.. another part of history gone to have a bunch of people now in my backyard.

I did call one scrap yard great ideas! Thank you all. boys bday next week so Ebay burner and NC tool 70 pound anvil just purchased..as bday present..should be in business next weekend..will update.. bricks next as advised....but may just dissolve the current ones to learn.. time to scrounge for railroad spikes they just ripped up!

Thanks..yup studied the links..scanning craigslist, ebay etc...of course literally they just ripped up railroad tracks behind me should have sliced one.. im still looking

I am seriously looking at this anvil vice...many used rock well 50 hardened multi use..can get around 250..not sure of origin..have the boy fabricate a stand

xxxxxxx now i have to look up mirror weld..! he did mig and gas..don’t have tig..yet.... my training is brazing leading and gas mig body trade school a LONG time ago.. correct on torch..i am going to get one off ebay...and still need to adjust bricks etc..and reweld shape if needed..it also was not as powerful on 25# tank as a throwaway tank so i think 12 ft hose has restrictor no regulator. below is what i shall get unless major objections to start Commercial link removed

Noted thanks..never bought on etsy..never heard of it will check it out

Don’t know, bought this Links to commercial sites are not allowed per the Terms of Service. if i go down continue to build or buy existing is my decision now or get burner as suggested or build...but tough to find specific one to get or buy as is assembled.. honestly cost seems to be similiar..yes can learn but im ok to learn to this point and cut looses and celebrate experience..and buy assembled..like the one in first post or specific recommendations or supporter of forum.. i will see if boy will check out indiana blacksmithing..cool thanks all burner i tried bit hose extension seems to limit flow..and probably not hot enoigh

Thank you all..working and looking..open for more.. fyi i got 2000 degree bricks from menards..no good?

hello, newbe for 14 yo wanting to forge, knife, play.. yes read a few stickies i just got done teaching him basic welding by gas and mig. Actually built some bricks and angle iron..bought a hose to 25 pound propane tank biggest torch tip bottle but flame is not enough. bday. Coming week he's still into it..learning.. i would like to buy from a usa quality forge and basic tool recommendations please..even where to get decent anvil. I'm afraid no choice but non usa to start due to price.. my thought on forge was two burner. Link removed per TOS i love forums and want to support vendors and forums.. please advise and thank you for time and recommendations.. Pic of what he built..mig welded new skill tom
