mofsharick Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 About a year ago I stumbled across Rich Waugh's blog at Artmetal. The forge he was building really seemed to have some VERY innovative solutions. Now when I go back to the page there is a server error of some sort. I understand that he passed several years ago, and that maintenance of the page has probably not been kept up. I was wondering if anyone on here had happened to save the pictures, or had pictures of his forge? It seems a shame to lose some of that information / design ingenuity.

Frosty Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I believe Enrique Varga passed away a couple years ago and seeing as Artmetal was his the site may be passing into memory. I'll post a question to the Sandbox.list a place where a lot of the old Artmetal.list gang hang out after Enrique divorced us from Artmetal. Uh, long story I'll ask around, see if anybody's maintaining the archive. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamboat Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Here's a portion of his blog about a forge that he built, which I found on archive.org via their Wayback Machine. Quite interesting. Some of the photos of the forge will enlarge when clicked on, but the ones of the plumbing under the forge won't enlarge. Maybe the larger versions of the plumbing photos weren't archived...I don't know. There is some verbal explanation, however, which you might find helpful. https://web.archive.org/web/20111204182938/http://www.artmetal.com:80/blog/rich_waugh/2010/01/new_forge_project Al (Steamboat) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mofsharick Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 Frosty, Thanks for asking around. Steamboat, I had tried the Wayback machine approach too. I had the same experience that some pictures work and others didn't. I'm basically brand new to the hobby, but love researching and knowing clever ways of doing things. I'd hate to see Rich's ingenuity fade away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I haven't heard from everybody yet, still waiting on the site last admin. but it's not looking too good right now. I'll let you know soon as I hear. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
