Forge area clean up!!

Well it’s been an interesting time since I last posted. It came to my attention that the property line location was a bit foggy. Rather than start a land war, I secured permission from the other owner and we are free and clear to move forward with construction. I met up with Andy on Memorial day and we began clearing the area and doing some preliminary placing of equipment in order to get an idea of the potential lay out.

Here is the location after some clean up.



This is a rough layout of where the actual forge table will be built. The plates on the ground will form the main work area of the forge.



This is a makeshift workbench we slapped together in order to get some perspective. It may be further assembled to become a permanent work space.



This is the inside of the Smoke house. This will likely be cleared our out and used as a non secure storage area.



Well that about covers our progress so far. The next step seems to be designing and assembling the forge table and acquiring a hand crank blower. Keep checking back for more updates as they occur.
