200mphbusa Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Greetings Gents and Ladies--I'm new to the board, this is my first post. As a birthday present last year my wife bought me a Blacksmith's class with Gordon Williams at the Pieh Tool Company in Camp Verde, AZ. Since then I have been fabricating a propane forge from 12" Diameter 1/4" wall pipe and I have managed (very fortunately) to find a Hay Budden 100 Lb Anvil in fairly good shape, a swage block and a few tongs and hammers. Today I am working on an anvil stand. I should be pounding out projects shortly. My father was a tool and die maker and it must have been in the genes, I am the consummate gear head and metal worker, shop consists of Lathe, Mill, Cut Off saw (abrasive and cold), TIG, MIG, Stick, Plasma Cutter, Oxy Acetylene, grinders, and all the supporting tooling. I look forward to the wealth of experience here on the board. In advance Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Welcome aboard FNG. (MAN that's a LOT easier to pronounce than 200mphbusa!) Please keep any nice weather you might be enjoying to yourself. OK? It's -20f and this is a warm neighborhood. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
