Well, I've spent enough money on supplies that I decided it was time to start a thread about this.
I've been slowly planning out this build, and am finally pulling the trigger on some materials.
Last week I brought home this used motor to power the beast, 1.5 HP industrial motor, single phase, 220 v.
Then today whilst wandering the scrapyard I found the right hunk of steel for the anvil, 9.25" dia steel, 3' long. Weighs in about #700.
That's all for now, I'll keep ya'll updated as I slowly get together the stuff to start the build.
