So very impressed with the workmanship here; mind is full of inspiration. Keep the pictures coming.

weather's turning cold is a good enough reason to fire up the forge to heat the shop up

Wondering if this project got moved to the dark corner of the shop????

DA
hmmm - Rob, John, Mick and Bob have been a little quiet of late. Either someone jumped them for getting all the good stuff at the local car boot sales or they are in the pub...

Hi Dallen and Darren ,

I wanted to be allot further along with this project , as Dallen mentioned forging is a good winter sport and  my plan was it have the forge set-up ready for my winter break from work  , that still maybe possible , its just I have been flat out at work at the moment and in the spare time I have had all I can be arsed to do is read about forging lol .  


Rob
You live in the UK Rob - It is winter for 11 months of the year!

Well I decided to fit a better ,or should I say more suitable electric motor to the blower . I did have to make a new motor mount .

Cheers for looking ,Rob 
Excellent - far better with a TEFC motor - it might last more than a few days now :)

BTW the space you have will ALWAYS be filled to busting however much there is !
Very nice Mate
We will have to see the lads about some stainless pipe & bends

Well done Rob. Thumbsup

What's the black thing on top of the motor? A place for all of the electrical connections possibly?
