Heres a bit of hammer work and a quick shop walk-through. Now you can see how ghetto it is when I've not cleaned for weeks...
Im forging a point at the Little Giant 50, and beginning to draw the blade out for a 52100 filet knife. When the heat is through, we pan past my new/used Rockwell bandsaw (no blade) and the big 20JET and the small drill press and hand tapper. Then, a finishing bench and a weight machine, on past the chop saw and toolboxes, then the 2hp Jet mill drill. Past my drums and the laundry area/shelves, to a couple machines that are moving out, a small Intergram 4x6 saw and a ratty old wood lathe. Behind this is the Grizzly 12x37 metal lathe I just acquired. We move into the grinding room (a mess, I know.) Two grinders now, having sold one. A batch of Baldor motors, the dust blower, and a bunch of belts. Around the corner is the welding stuff, AC 235 amp, small wire feed, two oxy/ace rigs. Then the hot work section, anvil, post vises, swage block, quench tubes, tongs, gravity feed for the veggie fuel hybrid welding forge, the venturi forge, and a hydraulic press thats not plumbed yet.
Sorry about the sound, I should have shut the forge off the music is the radio station I was cranking, it had just gone from 70s soul music to chick hip-hop.
Scrap metal and the coal forge are outside.
My lovely wife is the videographer. I couldnt get her to come any closer to the hammer!
Thanks for looking.
