I've used a few different forges in my time as a blacksmith.
When I was still running around the western U.S. fighting wildfires, I decided to get rid of my original NC Tool Co. Whisper Momma to free up space in my small car.
It was a sad day, but there are only so many ways you can pack a rectangular box of that size into a Volkswagen Jetta.
Anyway, fast-forward 3 years and I found myself back in my home state looking for blacksmithing equipment to get Brown County Forge up and running.
I looked at all the internet retailers of blacksmithing goods, comparing and checking prices, looking at shipping costs, etc.
I eventually landed on visiting a local farrier supply in Indianapolis who I had a hunch would have an anvil I was looking for.
They did. They also had the Forgemaster forge you'll get a closer look at in the video below.
It was freshly lined, freshly painted, and seemed to be waiting for me.
I hadn't gone to the farrier supply to pick up a forge, but I couldn't pass it up.
I hope you enjoy a closer look at the workhorse of my shop. Cheers.
