Post by: venisonburger on April 10, 2013, 02:56:07 pm

Anyone goin to the Classic in 3 wks that has a blacksmiths hammer and a set of tongs? I'm trying to get started and need a few things.
Don't have much to trade but maybe we can work something out.

If you can't find anyone,  get yourself a ball peen hammer, a big ol' sledge head and some concrete.  you can get by with these while waiting for a screaming deal on equipment you can't make (a very short list).

I would not mind a pair, but I have a hammer already(a 5 pound smithy hammer).
How to forge tongs? Could I make some from re-bar?
