Frozenforge Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 A shop or area so I don't have to set everything up and teardown when I want to forge. My biggest problem is in the winter its difficult to run the forge in the garage since its attached to the house. I dont want to cut big holes in the roof or wall for a ventilation hood.

njanvilman Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I hope to borrow the 1400 lb FISHER anvil from the state of NJ to display in my museum, and be able to bring it to major Blacksmithing meets for all to see. In reality, just continued good health for me and my family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenylittlemetalguy Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Frozen, use a gas forge in the attached garage? I do and work all winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 A big screw press! A power hammer just isn't in the cards because of my shop's location, but I sure wouldn't mind something other than my arm to move the hot metal!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Du7ch Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 At this point... a proper stand, forge table, and workbench. Due to financial restraints I'm working with a makeshift anvil anchored in the ground and a brake drum forge also in the ground. Feels like I'm doing more work than necessary just to get the basics down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmoothBore Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 My Shop is full, ... so any additional equipment will force a serious redesign of the Shop Layout. For that reason, ... the only major items under consideration, are a Power Hammer, ... and an Ironworker. I'll probably build a "Tire Hammer" myself, ... thus allowing an easier integration into the existing Layout. I can't really justify the cost of an Ironworker, ... but the appearance of a "good deal", could easily change my opinion on that. :P Just last Summer, I "missed" a local "Scotchman" Ironworker, ... for $900.00 ... you snooze, you lose :( <_< Someday, patience, ... ready cash, ... and decisiveness, ... will come together to resolve that issue. .

ThomasPowers Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Youth; while I certainly enjoyed misspending it I would have chosen to misspent it in different ways...I would have started smithing a decade earlier for instance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyP Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 in general, more time to forge, continued good health and for the jobs to keep coming in. Tools wise, I need to make more tongs, more hardy tools for the anvil and some spring swages for my power hammer, I also want to build a tumbler and find a good belt sander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony San Miguel Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I need something with a small footprint so a decent, small forging press. A small fly press would be my 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 At the moment I'll be more than happy for this cordless drill to hurry up and charge so I can get the holes drilled to get the door back on the forge..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) I'm dying for a good night's sleep.Otherwise, a complete set of Aspery's and Hrisoulas's books would be nice. Edited October 9, 2015 by JHCC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
