I have a 50lb power hammer so it helps get things to shape although you cannot use it forming damascus because it has to be taken slow.
As I get things done I will post a few pics if people are interested. I just don't want to get off track and get "Moderated" on here.
I am big on repurposing and all the tools I make are from scrap at the steel shop. It is my friends shop and his company rebuilds old, hot riveted bridges all over the country so I have access to ALL things steel fabrication and a mountain of true wrought iron from all the 100+ year old bridges he rebuilds. I think they are going to have some sort of TV show on his company on Discover or some such thing. They have been following him around for what seems like ever so if and when it will actually take place is a mystery. All I know is they gave him all kinds of new stuff, forges, rivet guns, tools, hundreds of pounds of rivets, cases of gloves..... and the list goes on. I am just fortunate to have access to it all.
We do have a coal forge and it is sweet but it rarely gets fired up do to time constaints it is just easier to run the gas one we built. As I get things done I will post a few pics if people are interested. I just don't want to get off track and get "Moderated" on here.
