Mecha's forge burned down

Mecha said:
Hi everyone, thanks for the concerns.

I suppose the big question is if it was a titanium-related thing. It was not, the fire broke out on the other side of the shop at night and was unrelated to the blade work. It was a total loss, home, shop, even vehicles. There is nothing left but possibly some useable titanium, and luckily the truck was insured. I’m glad Oye and I made it out, and we’re still holding onto the hope that our kitty made it out. Still tbd. Otherwise, just going to have to start over, but with a lot more knowledge this time. Take care of yourselves, everyone.

I’m glad that you & Oye are alright & kitty turns up well! The garage/Shop I’m in was built in 1922 a Wooden match stick! :eek:While grinding I set a jacket on fire I was wearing & started a fire in a shop vac collector by sanding ironwood & not cleaning it out before grinding blades! :rolleyes:.. I wish you a quick rebuilt on everything!
 
Anyway people can help?
Have you set up a GoFundMe?

Mecha Mecha I am glad ypu and Oye made it out. So sorry to hear that it was more than just the shop.

I wish you the best, a speedy rebuild, and hopefully the kitty is ok too!
Definitely pitching in to the gofund me.
 
So sorry to hear this brother.
Fires can be a terrible thing.

My home was pretty much a total loss from fire in June of 2019.
Me and my wife are still in the transition phase.

Stay positive and know things will work out.

Tough stuff. It’s going to take some time to unfuck this donut, I can see. I really appreciate The thoughts, and that you guys like my work so much. Glad a customer made a fundraiser, it will help to get together some key things needed to continue work. Unsure what lies ahead but have a hand on the wheel and a course plotted.
 
Terrible thing. Glad you and Oye are safe and hope the cat is well, too. All my best wishes for a new better than ever forge !
