We have at least one member with 50% lung capacity do to ceramic insulation in gas forges. I thank you for the concern. I will research up on these before continuing. I'm a nurse in the ICU and I have taken care of my share of wizened brick layers and construction guys now doubled over on O2. I have a micron 3M respirator I used for everything thus far, but I will hold further until I have the proper covering in place. I thank you all for the advise. Looking forword to sharing soon.

neilyeag Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 More of a Patio Work space than a shop. But does the trick, and for sure it is too hot here to work indoors: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausfire Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Nice breezy looking shop! We tropical dwellers have to worry about the heat. Unbearable today! Never seen an anvil like that. It needs a pair of eyes ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilyeag Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 My Thai neighbors think I am out of my mind. Out there banging on hot metal when it is 40c+. But this time of year it is nice. I the morning maybe in the 20c range. I fabricated the anvil myself. 90 kilo- S50C steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausfire Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 90 kg !!! That's a pretty serious anvil! Doesn't look that big in the pic. You did a great job to make that. Is the horn square for any reason? And yeah, people have questioned my sanity, as I'm banging away over a hot anvil in our midsummer. Lots of sweat on the anvil today. I think why am I not at home in the aircon watching the test cricket on TV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilyeag Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 It is solid solid man!! Part of the reason is it is basically a solid steel box, so you have a huge amount of mass throughout the entire anvil. The anvil is all done on CNC, I only made the horn flat on the prototype because I was not sure exactly how I wanted to shape it. I will likely ease the top edges slightly and then the bottom edge stronger, coming to basically an oval shape at the end. (using my BAAG big xxx angle grinder!) Once I decide on the final form I will make another prototype. I hope to market these if I can get the shipping logistics figured out. Because they are CNC, I can offer some customizing features for the user/buyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Hammer Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Upsetter, You better just hang it up because that space is just terrible......Just kidding of course! Many of us can only dream of a dedicated shop like that with all those goodies. My power hammer only comes in the right hand or left hand version powered by breakfast and lunch. Someday.............Ahhh, I can dream right? Seriously, nice set-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reeltree Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Are those sheets of ply wood or a rubber mat located by the anvil and forge ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
