Howdy all, I'm Bill. Been lurking a while. Decide to post a couple items and introduce myself. I live in Oklahoma, south of Tulsa... Started wonkin' on hot metal about 6 months ago using a a brake drum forge I made and a 12" x 12" x 2" piece of plate for an anvil. Did that for a couple of months and then tracked down a nice 100# Trenton anvil. About three weeks ago, I got a deal on a Buffalo forge w/ Vulcan 14 firepot/tuyere and a Cannedy/Otto hand cranked blower. Spent a day tearing down, cleaning and rebuilding the blower... Works PERFECT.

Found this site about a month ago and have been truly amazed and inspired by some of the creativity here. Watched all of Brian Brazeal's videos... This is my first attempt at one of his horseshoe hearts. I know I want one of his rounding hammers, that is one nice tool!

I'm having fun, learning lots and my wife loves watching.., hope to post more soon.
