What equipment are you currently using?]


The Grizzly 1x42 I started on, a Grizzly 2x72, a harbor freight pos drill press, and the Chile Forge Habenero forge I upgraded to awhile back. Right now trying to decide between getting another (better) 2x72 and a press. The grizzly is balls out, another 2x72 with a variable speed and attachment options would be a HUGE help, but a press would be a big help punching eyes on axe heads and making damascus. A small mill would be pretty neat, and a better drill press is a necessity. The drill I’ll be able to find on FB or Craigslist, the others I’m afraid will need to be new, not just new to me. I’d like a couple hundred lbs of coke too as long as I’m making a wish list lol

As far as hammers and anvils it’s a mixed bag that works for me so far. smile
