Richard L. Stanley Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Howdy from central Indiana, growing up, manned a hand cranked bellows while Dad set well drilling bits back. Dad's long gone and would like to reconnect with those old skills. Being younger and so so smart, I let my dad sell a nice 100# anvil, bellows and an old ducks nest, still have his small collection of hammers. Going to see if I can post a few pics of some salvage to use for improvised anvil, forge, and later maybe build a power hammer. This is where I need advice any ideas. The small piece of yardstick is approximately 3 inches. The drill stem, bit and square stock is solid as is the RR rail, and gear. The drill stem is approximately 20 feet long, that's an old tractor weight. Yes that is me in the picture, play mandolin, guitar, little banjo, bass, and sing in traditional, acoustic band. Usually go by the screen name Duce, but lucky just to sign on through Facebook. Soon as I can figure out how to change my profile, till the my given name will do. Edited March 27, 2017 by Richard L.
