Cleaned up the anvil a bit, mounted it on a stand and fired up the forge for the first time. Beat on a piece of rebar until the propane ran out with my @zhfabrications hammer which is almost too beautiful to use. Everything seems to be ok. Now I need to figure out what I’m doing. . . . . . posted on Instagram - https://instagr.am/p/CRcljIvjAP7/

Inherited this 155 lb. Henry Wright English anvil. Made between the late 1880s and 1914. . . . . . #maker #pghmaker #diy #helloimakeis #steel #anvil #blacksmith #henrywright #forge #rabbithole #empireofdust https://www.instagram.com/p/CO3dA9ZjJUN/?igshid=1hejc5tcwu1s3

Another yarn bowl larger than the one I made for my better three quarters last year. Cherry segmented turning was done and got the first coat of Waterlox on Xmas day, so technically on time. I guess I can still do it without the robots . . . . . posted on Instagram - https://instagr.am/p/CJRYx_1jqSN/

Wrapped up the @house__work Revolution 2x72 belt grinder today after a long@wait for the 3 phase motor. Brian’s laser cut parts and comprehensive plans resulted in a very nice machine. . . . . . #maker #pghmaker #diy #helloimakeis #steel #welding #fabrication #beltgrinder #empireofdust https://www.instagram.com/p/CPMI-xxjTZe/?utm_medium=tumblr

Wrapped up the metal fabrication on the forge. I’ve got 2” of Kaowool, refractory, and a firebrick floor to install. Will be working in my late Dad’s shop next week so this will be on hold. . . . . posted on Instagram - https://instagr.am/p/COWgAIgjBIW/
