ironcreations Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I found some pictures of some of my blacksmith shop tools, The forge I build a while ago, same with the side draft hood. It seems to work well. The anvils are both peter wrights, 1 is about 170 pounds, the bigger one is in the 400 pound range. I also built the treddle hammer.

ironcreations Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 Thanks, the flue is a 4x8 foot sheet of 14 gauge steel, sheared length wise and broke the same, it has a flange to bolt to the top of the chamber. I made a smoke shelf inside. it works really good, in the winter it sucks all the heat out of the shop to. as I stand there sweating facing the fire, my back feels like I have ice on it from the draft going by. I painted it with that P.O.R. high heat paint, it works well, the only place where the paint failed was the bottom of the cut out. if any one wants diminsions let me know, I can post what it is.

Ferrous Beuler Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Nice video. Does it draw as much whithout the assistance of the added draft from the woodstove? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Falcon 72 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Great looking shop! Do you specialize in a product? If it's not too much trouble I'd love to have the dimensions. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironcreations Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 the wood stove does nothing, it was added this winter so i wouldnt have to cut a hole through the snow covered roof, then try to kee-p it from leaking. i will fix it in the summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironcreations Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 Is the last photo a metal cutting device? I would like one of those!!! Do you think their easy to make? Nice shop man!! Welcome to IFI. The floor shear? Thats the baby, I have another one at least double that size, maybe close to 800 to 1000 pounds. I use tha one as much as any tool in my shop. it is easy to work, no electric.. I guess you could say its a cordless shear. . it will cut 1/4" plate with ease. 1/2x1/2 is no problem. I dont see to many around for sale much, maybe on ebay. I also have a big floor mounted angle iron cutter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
