I Forge Iron

Took a Walk-a-bout on Sunday !


Recommended Posts

Was out walking on Sunday and came across  small layout of an old western ranch, The Vale Ranch, not too far from my land.

Took a few pictures but was both surprised and happy to find a good size Peter Wright sitting in the Smithy, had the "England" in the side markings and if I have read correctly on this site that would mean after 1910.  Also weight markings were 2 - 3 - either 5 or 25 = (2 X 112) + (3 X  28) + 5 = 313 or 333 lbs. biggin ! 

Here are a couple of pictures:  Demos every Tuesday...  Guess where I will be on Tuesday next !

Post Vice with 50's era Fordson Tractor in the back ground !

I think the propane forge is a little newer than the Smithy setup !  The Drill Press is nice !

The Peter Wright:  Not in bad shape, didn't do a bounce test but it looked in good shape !

Climbed over the chain and got a close up !

Looks like 2 - 3 - 5 or 25, either 313 or 333 lbs, a good size Anvil !
