fish 13 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Hello to all out there. I am new into blacksmithing and at this time getting a forge together. Just bought a beginner anvil at Harbor Freight the other nite and am currently workin on making a bending tool for the hardy hole. Need to find a hand crank blower and some tools. I feel so lucky to have found you and I know I will learn a lot from this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragons lair Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 fish, Welcome, The 55lb HF really isn't much. Get the iron as hot as you can and don't miss. Also not too big a hammer. Anvil is cast iron no matter what the box says. Hit it with your hammer or hit less than yellow heat it will dent/chip. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Creek Blacksmith Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Fish, Welcome glad to have you. Is there a club in your area that you can get involved with, if you don't know look at the ABANA web site under affilate members to find out. There isn't one blacksmith I haven't talked to that won't help you out, all a bunch of good people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
