I Forge Iron

Recommended Posts

Posted

I am a new member here and I don't have the book yet.  I have a HB that I got from my dad several years ago.  I have used it over the years working brass and copper sheets and roughing up hinges for woodworking projects.  I finally brought it outside to the forge and worked some pieces on it a few times.  It felt good to put it back into service. 

 

While I was doing some research on it, i ended up on IFI and found a lot of good info.  I believe another member here has a HB with a serial number a few digits off from mine. 

 

30" long x 12" tall

There is some wording in the middle under Hay Budden that I can't quite make out.  Maybe a bad strike.

I haven't weighed it, but it is at the outward range of my lifting capabilities.  I don't plan on taking it off the block again, let me put it that way.  

 

Thank you for any info.

She's a beauty, good score! That last pic of the two prichel holes makes it look like someone really surprised her. <BFG>
