IanR Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Until I get a permanent forge built, I'm currently using a portable one I built, so I don't have a lovely hearth to put those tools on that you are using on your current project like hammers (that always seem to fall off the anvil), tongs and fire tools, so I built a rack to put them on. I made it fairly high so I don't have to bend over so far and I,m not accidentally grabbing something by the hot end and it also serves as a place to hang my powerboard. I have it set up between the forge and the anvil so I can grab and return things as I'm passing.

IanR Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 Thanks guys, its only a simple idea but it works well for me. Apprentice man I made all the other tools but not the hammers,the two cross peins were made by a blacksmith in Queensland Aus. who had to wind down his business because of ill health Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecelticforge Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I hope you get a lot of use out of it as it is very nice. I have tried to use such things in the past but have always wound up piling them on my hearth ( I blame my father's genes).. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
