• Just bought myself a 100kg anvil and all the bits I need to build myself a gas forge. I now have the following to do list:

    1. drive to Lincoln to pick up anvil
    2. Buy mig welder and learn how to use it.
    3. Build forge
    4. Speak to accountant to see if it would be taking the piss to put this down as a business expense in my carpentry business (almost certainly yes)
    5. Break the news to Mrs Bobbo that I have a new hobby.

    Surely every carpenter has to forge some wood every once in a while?

  • I had my first go of MIG welding tonight. It's easy to produce something acceptable compared to TIG but I think the settings might take some time to master. There should be some good guides on YouTube. Good luck!
