I picked one of these up last week, but haven't gotten it home yet (vacationing in Maine). I'm already thinking about how to put it to use when I get home and first step is a stand. I can't think of a good solution to make each surface (sides, edges and ends) useable in a single stand. Did Bob give you the shop tour when you visited him in Portland? They recently built twelve tire hammers in there in a weekend workshop. It was like $1400 out the door. So annoyed I couldn't afford it.

If you are hot to get a move on, let me know.. I'll draw it up.. No rush. I hope to work on it next weekend, but no telling if that will happen. Kids. I have a good idea what to do to get two of three planes (four of six?) usable and at the same height, just not the third (5&6?). Worst case I end up with the ends elevated when they are used. 21 hours ago, Lou L said: Did Bob give you the shop tour when you visited him in Portland?

Our local forge master attended the tire hammer workshop. I would have liked to go too but I don't have the space. Currently working out of a one car garage that I have to be able to move everything so it can still be used for its original intended purpose.

Lou L Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I'm in the same boat. I'm in a two car garage but one side really could never fit a car and both sides are filled with everything but cars. I'm waiting on the new shed to have some space. Then I will be co tasting Bob to find out if the last tire hammer has found a home. Technically I can afford it, in my opinion, because my son is going into kindergarten so we don't have those day care costs anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I clear that garage someone we know feels it in the air and dumps more stuff on us. At least the last time it was a snow blower. The time before that it was 75 boxes of junk from the in-laws... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAG Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I just checked the New England Blacksmiths web site for information on their swage block. But could not find it. Does anyone here have information on how to navigate that site for the swage blocks. Thanks. SLAG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
