nice, i have a anvil made from a piece of forklift fork... i only ever really hammer bronze on it, works well, the local foprge owner sells them occasionally once he's welded bases on so you can mount them.

Funny you should mention the pallets been wall building today, I expect to be doing long days and weekends for some time. I may well take you up on that offer Bob, and I’m always up for play time with a pooch, our staffy thinks it’s playtime 24/7

Hey Bob, though strained for a while, I’m still on good terms with Dan, he is a good guy, he Would not have sold & gone back on his word unless he had to, it could have been handled better, but we worked it out… it’s stretched us as a business but as you say this could/should be better long...

This being a commercial endeavour we had a healthy budget, just could not find anyone who would rent to us, I have been to over 50 viewings and all came to a stop quickly once we told them what we do… drum making is too niche, studios are noisy (I have made many, they are not of done right) and...

We just cleared our shop, found 4 of them we didn’t know we had.

not that I know, I did just buy a powedercoating oven that has a door in a similar shade of teal to my itech saw & drum sander, but generally I like grey things, grey machines, grey dog (blue according to some), grey drum kit… the machines I make myself I also paint grey, jigs too.. I just like...

the more i look at my setups, what machines i use the more this setup makes perfect sense.
