new forge at Strathfield M.S.
G'day all,
I saw the thread about 'are men's sheds only about woodwork?' and had to post up this;
fire lit.jpgDan on bellows.jpgcoals and first pick end.jpg
This shabby rustic forge is actually for a colonial timber-getting themed community market at Parc Menai on the 15th of September. The bellows belong to a friend who re-leathered them years ago, the pictures show the first firing with the forge.
Strathfield men's shed have a small forge blown by an electric blower and a loan anvil; all we need now is a coke supply (metallurgical/ coal coke, not the other varieties!) or a charcoal retort. ... and maybe some more steel bar 3/8 to 2 inch.
regards
