Mini Hammer-In

Hi IG, and friends,

I'm glad the blower made it there OK. All OK here in Hawaii. Our school year is ending. Just finished giving my last high school BS classes a couple of days ago. My family's getting ready to move into slightly more spacious digs. Leaving for mainland in less than 3 weeks. Ordering some steel from Kelly Cupples, so should have some stuff to do a few billets up with. Haven't ordered propane hookup from Darren Ellis yet, as he's away at Blade in Hotlanta. Got a 5 1/2" post vise off of eBay waiting for me to pick up in MA when I get there. Already have an anvil stashed at my folks in NH.

Trying to round up a coal forge and blower too, know of any I could buy...or borrow???

I'm hoping to round up some other stuff for my little make shift NH shop. Anyone know of, or got any of this stuff cheap????
  • drill press
  • stone, belt and disc grinders
  • OA, propane, map torches
  • AC/DC arc welder
  • band saw
  • electro-chem etcher
  • heat treat stuff: especially quench tank and anneal bucket
  • lost wax casting stuff: burnout oven, vacuum caster, centrifugal caster
Wish me luck.

See you all soon, Phil

Phil, I was planning on selling my coal forge and I have around 50# of coal to go with. I have a pic of it on my site. It's a riveters forge, with a Champion blower on it.
Darren, got flooded out and never went to Blade.:(

Dan: I'll be there with bells on.

Rudy: Looking forward to receiving your file guide.

Jerry: I tried sending you an email via your profile. Did you get it? I'm definitely interested. Is it along the lines of the Cris Crawford/Bob Warner etcher? I've been thinking about trying to put one of them together, but I like the idea of just getting it from you. Let me know.

IG: If you still have your rivet forge when I get there and I still haven't got one, I'll buy it, but if you can sell it elsewhere go for it.

Mahalo everyone, Phil

I like it! Its small and easy....I havent used a 220 to compare ramp up times because mine takes a while to come up to temp, but its not much of a big deal since I HT in batches and not every day. I got it when i was in an apartment and couldn't re-wire. If i did it again, i'd probably go 220 since I have 220 plugs in my shop, just to get the most power I could. For a small shop, its just fine though. other than ramp time, its a sweet little pice of machinery and is built like a tank:
