Rafter J Forge & Metalworks

Lots of small projects these days with the little bit of shop time I have...kids are getting to the point they like being in the shop too-which should help with productivity in about 6-8 years! Ha!! Snapped some pics of some of my anvils and some random shop pics this morning..

Have a very Merry Christmas everyone!!

Have done a fair amount of cleaning and reorganization since I took these pics....for example for the first time since I built it-my layout/work table is completely clean. Will have to photograph that...might not last.

Rafter J got a few upgrades to help with productivity this weekend.. added a 1 ton crane to the shop(bought the crane last year and finally got around to installing it..), and took delivery of my first power hammer...a Ken's Custom Iron MZ75. Can't wait to get it set and running soon...a few more airlines to plumb and I should be ready to go!

Finally had a little time to forge tonight..despite previously having zero desire to forge a knife-I now find myself making two. As fun as it is-I'm going to leave knife making to the pros.
Slowly ridding my shop of excess furniture and building materials so I can actually use the space.
