Like I said, I got 12 of those 4x4s put together to use as a stand. I just had that picture because it started raining while I was working. It's about as wide as this walnut tree I could've used, but I'm gonna split that into workable planks because it's good black walnut

Nice
Tongs are trickier than they seem if you've got no experience, but are great practice. Work on both halves at the same time and keep them as similar as possible at every step instead of making one half and then trying to make a matching one.

Thanks for the tip! Hopefully, I'll get the time to work on them soon. It's supposed to rain all week in my area.

Nice. I built a forge many years ago, but haven't used it yet. Kek. Was going to make a charcoal retort and make my own charcoal for it, and then that hasn't happened yet. Have a few 150ish lb anvils stashed and a little giant 50lb power hammer that needs refurbished.

during covid oxygen concentrators were a major importance so diy plans for them are everywhere right now. i think they work with two chambers of zeolite one captures the other flushes recommend to put a pressure tank inline to maintain a steady flow.

That looks amazing. When I get around to actually having a shop, I think I'm gonna get a little cheap welding machine so I can make cool metal stands like that. You should do something right now, even if you're just aimlessly banging red hot steel listening to Tom waits

Thanks man, Yeah I really do need to try it out someday. Have either the hand crank blower or an electric blower that will bolt on there depending on the occasion. I'm still heating and beating stuff as needed using a torch and anvil at the farm shop, but it would be nice to do some full blown forging of stuff someday.
