Joe Fisher Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Greetings all! I've been dabbling in blacksmithing for many years, having been introduced to it by a long time friend. I built a propane forge, then found a coal forge on Craigslist. I also started collecting anvils for reasons I don't quite understand I have a fair aptitude for it, and have made some simple knives and tools for my woodworking shop. I really like making the tools I use. That said, other hobbies, work and homeownership have absorbed all of the time I used to have for forging - I haven't lit my forge in almost two years So while I will still keep my anvils, vises and most of my tools, I will be getting rid of this monster forge I ended up with. Besides the time, it takes up an awful lot of space. I'll be keeping my eyes open for something smaller when I find some time. Is there an appropriate place here I could post a for-sale ad, or should I go back to Craigslist? I didn't see a 'classified' forum, and don't want to overstep any bounds. Here are a few of my projects. Some hook tools from O-1 for wood lathe work, an adze head and a padlock: Some mild steel knives we used for Iron Age Celtic re-enactment: Cant hook (oh yes I can!): Key holder: I did not forge this sword - the blacksmith friends who introduced me to the art did - but I forged the hook that holds it and made the display: I also made the whole scabbard, including forging the buckle: Thanks! -Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
