Nice work! I'm betting that will be your most used hammer for a while. Since I started using a 2 lbs. hammer I hardly touch anything heavier.

Nice attention to detail. Thanks for sharing.

I watch 30 seconds, get annoyed with the music, and then want to go chase kids off the lawn
Yep, I don't understand why people make video's with music blaring away while talking. Or they tell you how hot Georgia is in August 3 years ago when they made the video.

Jeez Steel Horse, that's quite a story I'm glad your around to tell it. Tried to sign up with my first name, wouldn't let me so I dropped an r.

Thank you Frazer. I'm looking forward to more participation on this thread. Maybe I should call it non-traditional methods. Still struggling to understand the lines drawn between traditional and everything else.

Congratulations, 8 years to go for me. I have never regretted changing jobs or careers, but usually been a little nervous at the prospect.

There's got a be a way to make them into improvised anvils.

That's some pretty cool camo. I didn't even see the frog at first.

Thank you Jennifer for the challenge. It was an enlightening experience. I've been able to get scrap pieces to stick together, but when it comes to making something for real my forge welding needs some work.

What I started with, 3/8 and 1/4 inch round,
Folded the 1/4 inch in half and slid them together,
Attempted to forge weld with charcoal and failed. At this point I managed to get the tip of the poker forge welded but kept struggling with the basket. So I mig welded the basket together, then mig welded that to the 3/8 shaft.

Might need a fire barnyard animals thread, chicken and a donkey so far.

Lol, (We’re not gonna take it)down that road this early in the morning are we JHCC?
Lary, it’s very possible, people mix an match post vise parts all the time,your mounting bracket looks like it came from a Peter Wright,
Hmm, maybe being the straight man is something I could be good at.

Mr. Powers Your exposing my greenhorn's when it comes to blacksmithing tools. I didn't give it a thought when I started the salvage process it could be a bunch of parts thrown together. It had a coating of oil,dirt & rust that was so even the fix had been done decades ago, after the 250 pound shop gorilla/apprentice bounced up an down on the handle. Everything was seized, I had to stick it in a press to get the screw box out. Anyway, it's working much better now.

In Oregon it seems blacksmithing tools run on the high priced side. Seller wants $250. I'm not in a hurry to get one, but would like to be set up better than I am for coal or charcoal. 'Thanks for the input.

Rick,
Got any pictures from the side? i was trying to figure out how the piece that is the hammer is guided. I built mine from scratch without plans so I get a kick out of seeing others. So it looks like the idler is the base? That mite help to make it more stable with all that weight down low, most I've seen use a 1/2 inch plate.

You can tell that's an old thermometer. No celsius on it.

Thanks every one for the congrats. I'm honored. Brady wasted no time getting it in the mail.
Received the tongs and a generous amount of gifts an hour ago. It's so cool to put my hands on somebody else's work. The tongs are great, I'll be trying them tomorrow.
