November 17, 201213 yr Here are some pics of the museum blacksmith shop I am building. It has been a while. Started on it this summer it is 50'x30' all material is from three old barns. One was a blacksmith shop and is the planking on the inside walls, front doors, and line shaft and pedastal grinder. The power hammer, anvil and some other equipment are now in I will post more pics after brick forge is done.
November 17, 201213 yr Looks awsome. I'm from Lincoln and will have to come out and check it out when you are set up.
November 17, 201213 yr Author Any time, we are installing the wood/coal stove and forge flue now. We have two shop forges that we are using now with out hoods there are ten foot ceilings and good venting with the north and south doors that we do not have much of a smoke problem. Will be nice when the brick forge is in though. We will be holding a spring and fall prairie blacksmiths hammer in at the shop. Right now they are set for November and march.
November 17, 201213 yr That is very impressive! I'd love to have a similar shop, and can't wait to see her all finished and appointed!!
November 17, 201213 yr It looks very nice. At which museum is the building located? http://www.nebraskahistory.org/museum/locals/museums.htm
