About 35 years ago I found this shop made coal fired forge at the local junk dealer.
I took it, along with an old fridge with 200lbs of fine blacksmithing coal to my dad's farm and there it sat under an oak tree.
I recently dug it up, it had settled into the ground about a foot, emptied it of clay and fire bricks and brought it home.
Thankfully the blower still turns, i'll need to see if the old electric motor still works. It has replaceable bushings, I wonder if they can still be had.
