Evenin' all... got a new little rivet forge recently for a really good price. It needed some legs and I went ahead and took the little blower apart and cleaned/oiled the gears (they looked like brand new). It's a stamped steel forge, so I'm playing with it with no liner at this time, I may add one later, don't know. Wanted it so I'd have a portable/demo rig. The first things to come off of it is the Brazeal style horseshoe heart (pony shoe), the double headed nail "mini swords" and the hair picks. Started a railroad spike garden trowel and decided those will be done on the big buffalo forge... this one is better used for smaller projects :)

Good score Tim. If you put a few feet of stove pipe on the hood it'll draw a little better. It's always going to seep smoke but a little better is . . . a little better.

Frosty, I'm picking up a couple sections on the way home from work today... our little local hardware store was close yesterday when I got it all back together...

I really like your forge. I have one just like it, but the blower is underneith. Mine stays outside as well and when its windy it's hard to heat up the metal. Might steal the chimney configuration.
