New stuff in my workshop
I have a few new tools in my workshop to enable me to do some blacksmithing. My buddy Clay kindly cut a stump for me to mount the anvil on. He even cut 3 feet into the base so that it won’t wobble around on the uneven floor.
My Anvil on it’s new log stand
I made a Welding Bench for my workshop with the MIG welder that my Father gave me.
The Gas Forge that Bruce helped me put together.
I made the this Cant Hook for Clay using the forge, anvil & workbench.
