GVR-4579 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Hi there everyone, I just signed up and will be mostly just browsing through for information and ideas. I am a machinist and mechanic, i restore antique tractors for a living. I have a simple setup in an old garage for my blacksmithing shop. Just a small coal forge recently updated with an electric blower, 125lb Anvil, a nice swedge block, and a good variety of hammers and tongs are what i have to work with now. I am working on a line shaft and setting up my 50lb little giant trip hammer and a few other line tools. I plan to have the line shaft capable of running on an old gas engine but also to have an electic motor available for ease or use. Anyways i have been blacksmithing on and off since i was big enough to use a hammer, but havent been serious enough to accumulate alot of talent. I have been going pretty strong now forging every day for the last month or so and am seeing alot of improvement. Look forward to meeting you all, Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
