"The Forgery"
Being a short tour of the portion of our sprawling industrial campus where the "hot work" takes place.
   

An exterior view of "the forgery" as one of my neighbors described it.
NW corner. Coal forge, vise and quenchant tank (the ammo box).
SW corner. Gas forge, casting patterns and anvil (Harbor Freight Russian 110#)
Gas-forge built out of a 10 gal air tank with two mini-mongo burners
The proud badges of gallant old power tools who gave it up for scrap aluminum.
A crucible of aluminum in the forge. Only the front burner is in use.
There I am; grinding the scale off a forged blade to save on sanding belts.
Power-hammer. More about this on another page
