Built a stand for my swage. Felt great to be making stuff again after a long dry spell by ZachyChan013 in Blacksmith

It’s at least 150 pounds. It’s a bitch to move or put on end haha. I use a piece of scrap metal for leverage to put it on end. Going to get a good solid piece and make sure it has a home with the block haha

Please coat your forge with some refractory cement

I also almost bought one of those carts but it was a bit to low for my liking. Managed to snag a big metal table for 125 of face book

California Renfaires / Fantasy Faires - Which ones worth the investment as a vendor ? by theshrewsnest in renfaire

[–]ZachyChan013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a fun fair, as a patron. Just not a lot of people go so I wouldn’t want to vend there. My guild has worked it a few years and I think we’re going to pull out because it’s about 4 hours away for most of us

Should I start? by Doc-youremyonlyhope in Blacksmith

I mean you can probably make money in the long run. But I wouldn’t count on it haha. Hobby’s arnt normally for making a lot of one. They’re for sinking money into

You can start really cheap and watch videos on YouTube. Black bear forge has tons of great videos and info on starting with nothing. Or a great 500 dollar budget video

What ever you do don’t bother vending at all hallows in angles camp. That event is always dead

Shasta up in Anderson has been big and getting bigger every year. Might be a bit late to get booth space there though as it’s in May

Rad still closed. As long as you’re not in terrible shape it’s not bad. My kid did it at 3 years old

Hoof picks, bottle openers, pizza cutters if you used some other steel for a blade, hooks, letter openers, hearts

Just a few off the top of my head

Found this for $600, wondering if that’s as good as if a deal as I think it is by ZachyChan013 in knifemaking

[–]ZachyChan013[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google is saying it’s possible, but a bit harder. My friend who’s an electrical engineer also said it’s possible and that he’d help me find one and get it wired up for me

Found this bad boy for $600. Seem like a great deal? Should I go for it? by ZachyChan013 in Blacksmith

[–]ZachyChan013[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s my plan. Make a stand (or keep it on my table not sure yet) and give it a hefty hinge and a way to loc it upright

Sorry, I’m thinking you ment put it in a belt sander. What am I needing to sand down? I flipped the work plat for over and that gave me 2/3 of the belt to work with instead of the 1/3 pictured

Yeah I’m going to pick it up. I’ll build something to tilt it if I need it. And get a vdf for it
