Home is where the work is done.

I do about 60% of my hammering at  home.  The rest is done on the road or at the Fort Allen club.  My home forge is an old Champion 400 blower with a Whirlwind Champion firepot.  It came from the Scranton Railroad yard and I would guess its from the early 1900's.  My anvil  is a Mouse Hole Armitage made between 1820 and 1835 and weights in at 153 lbs.  I made my own fire tools but have been too lazy to make any of my own tongs yet.  I'm a noob in computer terms when it comes to blacksmithing but it works well as a hobby.(it is self supporting) 
Fort Allen is one of the other places where I do blacksmithing and do some teaching for new club members.  The club meets every Thursday 6-9pm and facilities are open for all to use.  Please come and enjoy.  I learn something new every time I go.

My newest spot to swing at is the Compass Inn in Laughlintown, PA.    I only fill in for Jeff Hayes who is the regular.  They have offered the shop up for me to hammer at any time they are open.  This a nice forge to work at.

Portable Shop

Slowly building up my portable shop.  I have the anvil, tool box, pop up tent and a small forge.  I hope to make a second box for my heavier items, wooden water bucket and a canvas tent.
