bmazingo Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Hello All! I finally got me a coal forge. It was owned by the man who drove the school bus I rode while in elementary school. He passed away a few years back, and his wife and daughter were left with the forge along with his anvil and post leg vice. The forge and other items belonged to his father who was also the local blacksmith at a community near the river south of me. I am not sure, but I think it is a Buffalo Forge #12 pan. There is a number cast into the underside of the forge looks like a 12. The blower was stolen or misplaced. There is a bracket attached to the bottom of the pan that would have held the blower. I believe it used to have a clinker breaker but that was replaced with a grate some time ago. If anyone can identify this forge and/or have a lead on a blower that would work. Please post.

bmazingo Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 Been working on the forge when I can, added a Champion 400 blower, and painted the forge body. Next will be some new legs and bracing also a hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
