Dutchmancreek Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Well, I'm back after quite an absence. I just finished installing a coal forge in my new work shop.The first since I moved from the farm in Illinois to here in West Virginia. I hope to get started working again soon. The move, having to build a shop building, rehab from a broken shoulder, and carpenter work around the house kept the blacksmith work on the back burner.Some of the carpenter work was really enjoyable.....you should see the home bar I built and installed.

ThomasPowers Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 But did you *thoroughly* test it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchmancreek Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 But did you *thoroughly* test it?Didn't do anything but start the fire and see that it drew good. The last thing I have to do is bring in a stump and mount my anvil. Also need a helper to get the anvil up.I can handle the smaller Peter Wright but this a 300 pound Hay Budden.

ThomasPowers Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Well I meant the home bar....but testing the forge is good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchmancreek Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 We start "Cocktail Hour" everyday at 4:00. I ring the bell and we sit at the bar and look across the deck at the mountains. Whenever company drops by, everyone gravitates to the bar. I think I've got some photos, if anyone wants to see them (no photos of the forge yet, though.)

Frosty Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Nice bar, the table looks like a nice place for morning coffee and early mornings on the mountains. Sipping a adult beverage and watching evening descend on the same mountains is a fine way to enjoy.Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
