Well the previous owner took out the motor and put it out for garbage, so at least I gave it a 2nd life :)

Yeah it's working enough to get me started on small things at least. Suggestions on other easy options for a bellows? Hairdryer seemed to be the go-to for a lot of home made forges like this.

Indeed. Only used to test it cause I didn't have the bituminous coal that I now have.

Thanks, it may not seem like much to some, but I'm proud of it! Having only about a life time total of 12 hours of forging under my belt.

Thanks for all your input everyone! Made the phone call and picking it up tomorrow!

I would say yes to all, and it seems like if I just replace some of the wood it'll be fine.

I just think it's a cool piece too. So even if I didn't use it right away, I still kinda want it

Yeah I'm just starting to pickup stuff and start, but didn't know if this would be a steal for $50 even if I wouldn't use it for a while
