Not yet, he's got to figure out how to stretch his money That one seems like a good deal though

Mad cheetah? I've gotten quite a bit of cool stuff from them, the trick is to keep in mind what you are willing to spend, rather then what it's worth

That's one of the reasons I gave in and let him buy the forge (apart from the fact he paid for the whole thing himself) Having him be outside (well, in the shed) is a huge plus And since we don't fully trust him not to burn the shed down, it has been some really cool father/son time That...

If I could fine one, that would be a great start He definitely needs an anvil, but for now, we're using the base of my logsplitter

Little after school twist

Turns out it definitely get hot enough to make those spikes twistable

you may be on to something i wonder if i can find some rebar and get him going on that

It may be a three pounder, I'd have to check But I took him to the store and had him pick one he felt comfortable swinging I'm sure that as he gets into things more, he will add a bunch of different hammers to his collection

why so ? hes not growing up in the same world we grew up in does it really matter where he picks his hobbies up at? as long as he finds something to do, to flow some creativity out, and not be glued to a screen, hes got my blessing funny story, we got pulled over by the sheriff on the way...

What I have yet to find on YouTube is videos with the most basic of information He is working on a railroad Spike knife right now and there are gazillions of videos on that on the tube Not a single one of them mentions how long it might take for a Spike to reach a malleable temperature...

picked it up last nite, and got her set up and going today (we will be making a chance to it, right now the burner comes in from the side, ill move that to the top) the boy did well, he was able to get a good deal on the forge itself, which allowed him enough spending money to buy himself a...

He just turned 13 last month, he may be a little young for some of those

About 2,5 hours north to north east from me He has had one session with a blacksmith in Frankenmuth, where he made a knife He will be back there in May to make a sword

all hes got from that list...is the attitude we dont even have the anvil mentioned above, just a big piece of I beam that is the frame of my logsplitter (on the bright side, in true Appalachian American fashion, we can use that log splitter as a power hamer)

hey guys, my boy has been watching a little bit too much "forged in fire" so tomorrow im picking him up a basic propane forge he will be going in pretty much blind and with barely any tools, so what should be the first thing he needs?

I too like to use a bench grinder and just free hand them But, there is a learning curve, and if you like the pilot bits like YY1 mentioned, you are out of luck

Whatever you do, make sure the floor slopes toward the drain We get Winters here, and it is not unusual for me to pull a car into the garage, covered in snow In a few hours, that melts and fall on the floor Now, I have one drain, pretty much dead center under the car, BUT some of the floor...

i would be very disapointed to find out Mike would rig something like that up...with the red lead on the negative side

so, general consensus...dont mess with it

thanks for all the replies guys the main reason i want to do this is to get something quiet, and well, it sounds like a fun lil project (you guys ever watch some of the DIY logsplitter videos on youtube? some of those are brutal) i guess thats where i dont fully understand how this whole...

so i picked me up a little log splitter a while ago right now it has a 5.5 horse honda GX150 on it i am pretty sure i have a 110volt hot tub motor kicking around it looks like the GX simply has a flexible spine coupler on the output shaft, which runs a pump which provides the pressure i...

going by your definition, the term "seperate living quarter" would be more appropriate i did not consider a dishwasher, but i do want a functional kitchen (did not think to include a washer and dryer) great points on the heating cooling, i will have to give proper consideration to that before...

i would have to check local ordinances the way the it sits is as follows: the orange lines are the property lines (just roughed in) the red outline is where i want to put the cabin as yo can tell, if i expand out to the North, it may obstruct my path around the pond, and if i expand out to...

man, that is cool as all get up (not sure if im digging the mint green stove though)

got so busy reading my own post, i forgot to add the link wood shed suggestions hard to believe this was 6 years ago allready

thats pretty cool this guestcabin is supposed to be a trial run for our "long term" plan in about another decade or so we should be debt free, and at that point we want to buy a plot of land, 10-20 acres and build a get away on there so i figured might as well get my feet wet though it is...

i dont suppose we got too many amish on board, do we? before i get too far into this, let me be totally transparant, if this plan ever comes to fruition it may very well not be for several years now, having said that, here is my thought...id like to build a cabin we have family come over...
