i was wondering where i can get a hand crank blower for my forge, i want one that doesn't cost that much

Well buddy you are going to have to go around asking everybody you meet to find one cheap. Joining the local ABANA chapter and asking around it might find you a blower but they know what it's worth.

One of my methods was to find folks selling barn crud at a fleamarket and ask them about the stuff that was too heavy/large or rusty to haul to the fleamarket.

Nicholson Pa,

Just bought one myself the man had three. paid $75 in perfect condition. The mans name is Watkins phone # is (570) 942-6723. Just tell him the man from Wv that works on gaswells refered you. He also has SEVERAL tools for blacksmithing Let me know what you find out

Buddy, What constitutes 'Not Much'? I am hitting a few flea Markets north of Boston tomorrow and can look around for you.

If al else fails,go to a hammer-in if you can find one.People tailgate all kinds of stuff at these.

I had to trade a 14 foot aluminum fishing boat and motor for mine............

They can be got new from India, but not having used one myself I cannot vouch for the design. There's a chap on BB who imports them to the U.K. If you like I could ask if he'd be willing to impart his contact info?

Vaughan's sells them, and I understand they are good quality. Make sure you're sitting down when you look at the prices though. One of very few companies still making them.
