z532 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Although I have only made small things in the past mostly from tape, pens, and rubber bands, My last years workshop class made me want to upgrade my abilitys. So I made a crude little dagger from a 6 inch bolt using only my hammer and the ground, it turned out well although its easily breakable. But back on track. Now this year I've been taking a welding class and im really good at it. So im thinking about getting the tools I need to branch off and start on making and selling things. I've got the gloves, goggles, hammer, files/rasps, chisels and a few more things. if you have any more sugestions on what other items I need it would be appreciated. Ive found a man that is selling a anvil to me for a verry reasonable price. Also any webcites where I would be able to buy metals in sheet form or in blocks would be appreciated.

Rob Browne Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Look up the brake drum forge. As for a source of metal, try the local scrap metal merchant. BTW, welcome to IFI :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
