After paint

This is the same blower after I cleaned it up and painted it.

Hand Crank Blower

I got this Royal Western Chief hand crank forge blower for free!

My old and new blacksmithing setups

This is my old setup.

My old anvil on a wire reel.

My old forge.

The whole setup.

The junk ASO or Anvil Shaped Object.

My new tool bench and tools.

My gas forge.

My new post vise.

My good Trenton 125lb anvil.

The whole new setup.


I have been blessed in that not only have Mom and Dad let me do this but that I have been able to find the tools at good prices. God has been good to me.

A BLACKSMITHS POEM

Under a spreading chestnut tree the

The village smithy stands;

The smith a mighty man is he, with large and sinewy hands;

And the muscles of his brawny arms are strong as iron bands.

by Robert Louis Stevenson
