I saw this link and thought some might be interested. Peter Renzetti is retiring and auctioning off his equipment. He really has everything--unfortunately its in Pennsylvania. But it might be worth a trip. The link is to the auctioneer's site.

I know that this is probably a question that has come up in the past.

I know most everyone runs Propane for their forge.

Does any one run Natural gas for their Forge?
What size hole would be required to push the gas through?

I have a 35 LB requlator, would I need to get different type?

I am preparing to build a burner that use a .035 mig orifice to set up a new forge.

Hi everyone;
As a newbie I have a couple of questions for you old pro's.
I have a 101 pound 1879? Mousehole anvil, the top is solid and in probably an 8 out of 10 condition but the edges are not as clean as I would like. Should I have a welder fill in the damage or leave it as is? If I should have it repaired who or where would you take it?
Secondly I want a small gas forge, what is the best value for a small gas forge, where should I buy it, which one is the most for the money?

so where dose everyone get there tool steels, i have an abondent supply of "junk yard" tool steels, car springs, plow blades, old hammer bits, ext. but im looking for some wair to buy standerd tools steel, plate, and bar stocks

This month's meeting was hosted by Linda Holmes-Rubin at her home shop in Canton. Beautiful property, but leave early, it's no small trip! Tony led a medium-short business meeting, and then Lance Ziegler demonstrated the Clay Spencer tire hammer.

I didn't have my camera with me, but if folks will upload the pics they took (instructions on how to upload pics are here) then I'll insert them into this article.

I saw a thread a while back here about a Harbor Freight Russian made 110# anvil for a real good price. Never having enough tools and stuff around, I went to check it out and came home with one. Kind of rough, still plenty of tool marks as you can see.

Here's what we started with.

So, I called on my friend Dan Tull. He said it was a good place to start, but we could do a few things to make it a much better tool. Take out the tool marks, put a radius on part of the near and far edge of the face to make nice bends, and try to make that duck bill into a horn.
