  1. Cheers lad. You've given me some excellent ideas, thanks a million
  2. Once again, excellent information. Great job on the tongs. Yes, I'm gonna be patient with getting an anvil. Think I can source bit of railway track for cheap that will keep me going for now, but keeping a good eye out for a proper anvil at a good price.
  3. Their all in around ten or eleven pounds. Never bought from here, but price ain't bad https://www.afssupplies.co.uk/product/fenn-trap-mark-6/
  4. That is some great information there, thank you. Just got a couple a proper hammers, and pair of flat tongs second hand, at a good price. Forge, and anvil are next. Probably start off very small with not much cash, at my disposal. But I think once I have those couple things, at least I can make a start.
  5. OK, so this is another method of forging? I'll have to check this out, cheers
  6. I'm in Ireland lad. I'm very enthusiastic about doing this, but not walking that far
  7. Let's try this first @GruffaloGriff
  8. Cheers, for the info. Don't have an anvil, and have looked at some at a local flea market. Mad money even second hand/vintage ones. Was maybe thinking piece of railway track, but not sure if that would be good enough.
  9. Nice one mel b. How is it with gas consumption? Would a cylinder last long with one of these forges?
  10. Ain't it always the way. Thanks for the thought. Appreciate it
  11. Cheers Paulus, enjoyed that read. Very talented man.
  12. Lads looking for some advise on a blacksmith forge for a beginner. Always wanted to give it a go, and literally starting out with nothing, bar a couple of hammers. First off, I'm looking at a forge. Something not very expensive, and small enough, that I can move in and out of the shed. So, it's either small coal forge, propane forge, or homemade forge. Anyone here into blacksmithing, with any suggestions on what I would be best getting? Few examples below of what I've found so far. Are any of them any good, or just pure sh*te? I know you get what you pay for, but I just dont have
  13. Very nice. Did you make it yourself?
  14. Yea cooking over. There is a lad on youtube, called Cowboy Ken Rollins, who does camp cooking. Excellent channel. That's where I first saw these trivets. Worth checking out his channel, if your into that sort of thing
  15. Love it. Is that Jimmy Saville with the red scarf on?
  16. Just make one with a bit a ply. You'd make one up in a couple a minutes
  17. Thanks Chid. Bit of a dumb moment
  18. Not till tomorrow lad. Something I didn't know. Some towns in the US, have their trick or treat night on different dates, and not on the 30th.
  19. Made up a few of these for camping last week. Not great with a welder, but got the job done. Good thing about them is that you can change the hight of the trivet with different size bolts for the legs
  20. It's alright, we have a pint ordered for ya
  21. Yea read that today. I'd say there is more to come.
