Hey ya'll from NW Iowa. I'm 23 and been a full time farrier since I graduated high school. I have slowed down a bit since the offer of a job i couldnt pass up, but i have started to get a big intrest in the blacksmith side. My first goal in to either build or buy (hopefully cheap) a coal forge. I have my gaser from shoeing but the job i took is at a coal fired power plant. So i have access to a few millon pounds of coal. Plus i've always wanted a coal.
So what i'm looking for is any advice on the basic tools, and help even keepin a fire going. (never even worked outta a coal forge) Been looking for a swage block, hardies, cones, textureing tools, and different hammers. If any of you have any thing that still in useable shape at a reasonable price I would be intrested. Would also be able to ship coal as trade or a partial trade. Thank you, and again any advive even really genral woud be great.
Thanks again,

Thank you guys for all the info. I'll have to check the analysis on our coal we are in a testing period and have about 6 different types, with all different make-ups. I looked at that 55 forge and thats really simple the question i have does it work all that well, and is there any tricks to assembly. Any other info would be great even basics.
