Here are a few photos of our shop,it is still work in the making and newly vented out for use this year.The forge was built by my son and myself,it is 4'x6' with 2 fire pots,one coal and one coke.All hand blowers at this time but I have a electric on standby.We have a total of 10 anvils,The smallest is about 20# and the largest 336#.The cone I bent up at work,It is 3/8 AR plate 14" at the base and 52" tall,Filled with sand and weighs about 350#.We are gearing up to do metal working merit badges for the local boy scouts and possibly some hammer-ins with central Wis. blacksmiths if I can figure out how to get the meetings arranged.I am 44 years old,my wife wont talk about her age and my son is 17

Hey Paul. First, welcome to IFI. Second, you got any relatives in central Illinois? My metal supplier is Rick Reber at Reber Welding in Shelbyville, ILL. Just had to ask. You have a great start to the shop. Good luck. Oh, and my wife won't talk about it either!! LOL. :D

Paul, Nice shop! What can you tell me about your hydraulic press. it caught my eye and I am looking for that type of press.

The press in the shop picture is a 55 ton hydraulic with a electric pump.
