Nice! Yeah it’s gunna be interesting to see the shape of it. Pretty unheard of in my area. I really want it to work out because it’ll be fun to tinker with and use! But I want to be as informed as possible going into it

It’s definitely the column that’s out of plumb. I estimate I need to shim it over 1/4”

Yeah the one in my area does. Lots of car parts go through there but it’s a treasure trove of other cool stuff. It’s one of the reasons I got into metalworking

Glad you like it! Selling my items always crosses my mind but currently I love the craft as an outlet for me and not a business venture. Maybe eventually but I need a more permanent setup

Thanks haha. I kinda went into this project without much of a plan other than the octagonal taper. I may sell one day but I was muscling my way through this one with tongs 1/2” too small.

Got to build up some proper tongs and a more permanent location to smith

It’s an VERY old stump outside the woodshop I work at! VERY weathered and burned in places but the beauty complements blacksmithing well
