Getting closer to done in the new forge. I put up the antique tack hooks, and brought in the 100+-year-old saddles, harnesses, and mule collars from the farm in Spring grove. Put a few things on the wall to make it my place. More to add soon. The helpers have started arriving to get things moving for Christmas presents.
Last photo is Bill Moran's saddle bags. They need to be cleaned and softened, but are sound. The tack will all get cleaned and restored. The anvil is the last thing I will restore. All the other tools and such have been restored and painted.
The small vise weighs about 30 pounds, The big one around 150 pounds.
