biggraypig Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Was raised in Beaver, lived in StGeorge, now I live in Delta. Sorry Adman I was looking into building a forge and seen this one. Had to have it. Needs a bit of work but is all there and spins really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Welcome aboard James, glad to have you If you'll put your general location in the header you might be surprised at how many of the IFI gang live within visiting distance. Have you started reading through the sections here? Almost anything you might ask has probably been answered more than once. The sections are organized by general subject such as coal forges, welding, gas forges, finding tools, etc. at the bottom of the front page is the section of regional organizations. Find the one closest to you and meet the guys, hooking up with an experienced smith can teach you more in an afternoon than weeks trying to teach yourself. You'll also have much better luck finding tools, equipment fuel materials, etc. Besides it's just plain fun to hang with a bunch of blacksmiths. Welcome to the affliction, the craft is addictive and highly contagious. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSW Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Nice to have you with us. I picked up a similar looking forge last year as my portable forge. You should have a good time with yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggraypig Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 That would be cool! Sure I could learn a bunch from you. Where do you live? I live in Delta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admanfrd Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Sandy. And no, all you could learn from me is that I can make a good leaf and some sweet tongs. I am still a beginner myself. but hey, could be fun. Update you location on your profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
