With 2 mortar blades in the oven...so pics on those in a few.

Sweet. No I mean sweet setup. VERY jealous of your anvil. And I remember that grinder too, surely jealous there. Not to mention the awesome forge you're using.

What you going to use for scales?? Come on now. More pics.

Thanks Leatherface and Aproy1101

The 110lbs anvil is that Harbor Freight one that cost me around $76.00 +or- after a discount being a total newb at this I just could not justify a high $$ anvil yet, my back and ears would never know the difference

Here are the 2 blades after a nice cooking in my kitchen oven..nice greasy thumb print in the top at least you can kinda see the hamon in the bottom one :thumbup:

I can't get a steel anvil at the harbor freights here in Atlanta. I used to call them pretty often to check, but gave up.

Pieces of rail road rail works pretty good, if you can find them.

What kind of forge is that???

 

[sweet]

This is the Forgemaster Blacksmith model...pretty lucky to have a local who carries this along with the NC and Mankel brands and for me this is the one I liked the best
