Should I buy this antique forge?
The below photo is only the closest one I could fine on the Internet, I would say the one I have been seeing at the flea market for the last couple of months with the $150.00 price tag was intriguing. It's cast iron and very heavy, the hand blower works. Keep in mind I am only thinking about forging blades(and knives) I have always wanted to, and am kinda thinking this might get me started. Or would I do just as good with the converted BBQ grill and blow dryer.
Also, the one I am looking for has a big cool metal bucket full of coal along with 3 tools, 1 nice set f long tongs , a hammer, and old soldering iron. A
Any thoughts.? I would get major wife aggravation if I brought it home. But it could be a cool planter until it was ready...:)
