If you're going to make wagon wheels, you need a machine to get the radius turns. Bob tells me that these three machines do that for you.

Blacksmithing might include making your own hooks for various purposes.

Nothing like making your own sheep shears, machetes, hay cutters or butcher block knives. Notice the open-link, forged chains above.

Collection board of various tools. A few dies, a shoers sole butress, a couple of tools that I can't identify.

Okay... that's it for now. Time to do the evening chores and tend my horses.
Again, these photos are only from the front porch of the blacksmiths cabin and the small auxillory room. I have over a hundred more pictures of the main shop plus the big barn where Bob keeps his larger collection.
Lots of farrier tools, anvils, blacksmithing equipment, harness equipment and just about anything else you can imagine coming up.
I'll post more a bit later tonight for those interested.
Cheers!
