Bellows blacksmiths identification and restoration.

Featured Replies

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

tHANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST jAKE.

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?

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 :-)

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.

Oh, wow. That is interesting. I have never seen that type before.
