Finally have myself a forge. Bought for 20 pounds. No pics yet cos' I havnt picked it up yet. Me and a few mates are going to pick it up next saturday.
I got it from a bloke called Nathan Bennett, who is a smith in Weston-Super-Mare. He makes all sorts. He was working on some gates when I arrived at his forge, and showed me all his other creations, including a huge stack of folded knife blades which I thought were amazing.
The forge is a stationary, water cooled side blast device. No blower, but i'm sure I can improvise. Nathan tells me that it MUST be used with coke, as for some reason coal fills it with clinker in next to no time. Should be big enough for anything I can possibly ever need to make. If it can fit f-off great bits of gate it will fit a few tools and knife blades.
All of my kit, anvil, tools and forge have only cost me 40 quid in total. How lucky is that!

That sort is too expensive to put on a fire!
Don't know about fully fledged. It needs putting together. And I need to practice!

It is him Ramm. This section of the forum is under his moderation, and he is allowed to do what he wants with it. That being said, this post will be deleted as well. I don't mind.

The deletion of posts hardly help him then.
You've already been reported to Paul.
