Taking a break...

  I am going to use the next few weeks, months to prepare for my next effort at the clock.  I still have some works in progress that I will finish first but as I look at my equipment, there are just some general things I need to do.  I'm listing them here more for my own benefit rather than my one or two visitors...  :)


* Make new stand for new Fisher anvil


* Make stand for new Peddinghaus anvil.


* Make "child size" anvil stand for Russian anvil.  This will allow younger kids to try things out.


* Pick up kid sized gloves and safety equipment.


* Make stand for swage block.


* Fix legs for my blower.  The current legs are somewhat flimsy and light.  I've never liked the base I had for the blower but just never got around to doing anything about it.  I'm going to use lead to add weight to the base.


* Make new stand for my post vise.  (A post vise has a "leg" which goes from the vise to the ground)


* Make new storage containers for a more "period" look when demoing at events.


* Make new bellows (low priority but still there)


* Pick up some lighter hammers for kids.


* Polish hammers (remove dings from faces)


 


Well, I think that is enough for now...
