oakwoodironworks Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 My goal is to build some sort of shop to forge in. All of my tools are stored in various corners of the shop where I work and every time I want to do something, I have to drag them out and set them up. I work about 20 miles from where I live and it is not the ideal situation. One good thing is that I have enough tools to have a good shop when I do finally get one built Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
