hammerandtongs Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Good evening guys I have just aquired some Blacksmiths bellows see attached photo link. Can any one shed any light on what type these are. I am told that the leather is good but will need some treatment and reconditioning can any one recommend what leather product is best to use to bring new life back into the bellows. Many thanks any advice greatly recieved.H&tONGS 2nd photo is enlarged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan P. Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 This is commonly referred to on the internet as a rivet forge, though in the UK they are more commonly associated with farriers. Is this the bellows you are referring to on your thread about a ground forge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake2431 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I'm sure someone can use the image. I'm mainly just interested in different types of bellows and wanted to see in up close :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan P. Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Jake- those bellows are of the two chambered type, except that they are circular and go straight up and down, rather than pivoting on one side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake2431 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Oh, wow. That is interesting. I have never seen that type before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
