andgott Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Ok, So it's not really MINE, But I do get to work there whenever I want to- Don't mind the smoke. The fire was just started This is the Choo-Choo forge, our local chapter 'headquarters'. Pretty well equipped, too- as you can see. They have just about anything you'd need. It's a great shop, and I'm lucky to have access to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DKForge Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Wow great looking shop! I can dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanR Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Add me to the list of dreamers, what a fantastic setup. I like the fact that you can access the forge from all sides and that blower, what an awesome fire it produces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andgott Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 I like the fact that you can access the forge from all sides That comes in REALLY handy when there are a lot of people in there- There were 4 working in that forge yesterday with only minimal inconvenience! It is an excellent shop, for sure. What the photos don't show is that there is another forge outside as well, under a covered porch... There is a welding area, chop saw, and oxy/acetylene torch out there, too. Plus, You can buy your steel right of the racks there at cost, which is another great perk- No running to the steel supplier! Perhaps the best part of it all, though, is that you can work with others there. There are members with all kinds of experience levels, from those just starting out to professional smiths that have been doing it all their life, And they are all very eager to help with anything that they can. It's a great environment to learn in! -Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brasilikilt Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 That is such a beautiful setup! One of these days I will have my own little version of that :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodney Skinner Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 fantastic forge hood and overall setup of shop! How do they get you out of there? I would move in and never leave... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
