Greatly appreciated. I am having a bit of trouble locating one that won't break the bank.

I am a pipe smoker myself. I prefer a nice dark cavendish. Gotta love that smell and relaxation.

oops.

I found this link. Do you guys/gals think this would be sufficient?

I was hoping that I could find a hand cranker so that I could move my forge and anvil back into my shed every day when I am done. I dont want it to be too bulky, so a bellows may be a bit cumbersome. I see those Chinese blowers that someone linked, but I cannot find a price on one. I cant seem to find a reasonably priced antique locally either. I would really rather buy something American anyway. Kind of stinks that no one has made any new kind of blowers. Oh, and I am trying to avoid electric as well currently. Want this to be manual all the way. Any suggestions on a place that may have some antiques for sale...other than local farm sales etc?

Hi gang!! I am brand new to the forum, and am in the process of building my first forge. I am looking for a hand crank blower, but cannot seem to find any new ones...only antiques. Does anyone manufacture new hand crank blowers? I saw one at a blacksmith supply site, but can no longer find it on that site or any other. Any help would be greatly appreciated.. Hope to become a regular member of the smithing community!! :D
