| Our Traveling forge has a double bellows inside. In this photo looks like I'm blowing on the coal.

| Eric, I especially like the bottom picture (fits the era)! Thanks for sharing the link too. I printed the article to show my parents, who used to live in Washington. Julie |

| Please post the information about the scale of the Traveling Forge that you constructed. I can see that you made a number of modifications to the design as well. |

| The forge is a 3 quarter scale reproduction. the most major change in construction was to make a second bellows pump handle so two blacksmiths can work at the same time. Blacksmith Ron |

| Looks like you: - Put additional hooks in the front. - Left off the vice that usually sits on the stock. - Added decorative pieces under the edges of the roof. - Made your "lunette" from a flat sheet of metal. - Repositioned the rear support staple for the bellows pole from the top rear corner to the bottom rear corner. - I'm not sure what you have dangling from the bottom... I added an entry for Traveling Forge to Wikipedia: |
