Glenn Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 You may want to add a rain cover over the outside rail system. It would keep things out there dry until you could use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58er Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 hopefully , in time, the entire outside shop will have a roof.......but now that shop if functional i get too busy with smithing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rojo Pedro Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Sweet anvil. Love the horn. is the hardy hole curved and will you need new tooling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58er Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 thanks. yes, curved hardy, not big deal to me as i don't use a lot of hardy tooling on main anvil, usually just a hot cut which i will make. I keep a smaller anvil that is used for tooling. yesterday was first real day of forging on it.....love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put a Ken's Kit on a 135# air hammer about a year ago. Absolutely amazing once you get used to the action! Pretty thrifty on air consumption as well.

58er Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 Built stand for swage block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusb Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 What happened to the Williams and White? That's a great block! It seems like there are two camps on swage blocks. Some claim there only function is decorative and others use them almost daily. What uses do you find for this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58er Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 sold the W/W hammer to make room for the Kens hammer. Thanks I love the swage block. use it mostly on end for artsy things, the occasional punch backing......I would'nt have a shop without one.
