finally got my forge together, needs some tuning some itc and some front door work, but not too bad, the other "thing" is my anvil, it's a work in progress too, needs some flattening and polishing and hardening if possible. it's about 170 pounds, so it's a good start, i'll start saving for a nimba soon
let me know what you think

Sweet setup, bro... I'd love to watch you harden that pig of a block of steel! I suppose if you used a cow roast pit for a day or two to heat 'er up, and then quenched in your neighbor's in-ground pool you could pull it off, no?

What kind of burner is that? Is it a Rex? How do you like it?

yeah, i am still working on a plan for hardening, it'll come to me, yeah, the burner is a t-rex, i like it a lot, easy setup, looks, sounds and heats great,
i testfired the forge last night, heated up some mild steel rod, it worked great, sounded like a little jet at around 10 psi, brought the bar up to a nice redish orange heat in a couple minutes, i really need the itc and a better door on the front to keep more heat in the chamber, but it's coming along
