Might this be the one? HARBOR FREIGHT TOOLS
I have this one and it throws my poor little Sporty around like it isn't anything. I love it. Used the Craftsman version on my Sporty once and hated that thing after getting this one.
Congrats on the lift, makes life much easier for me, I am sure you will get more use than I am. |

OH HOLY COW, that is great. Heck I would have been happy if someone got me the one I got myself for Christmas. A table lift would be too much LOL.
Congrats man.

chuck what does the mesquite do for the coke, put flavor in your iron must be a texan thing. what kind of forge ya got, crank, electric?, your probable old school crank, I built a propane one once but it wasn't as good as a coke fired one. by the way i used a rosebud to fire up, my lazy side. |

i used an old 18 wheeler truck brakedrum.....found a heater blower motor out of the same truck.....did a bit of welding and used a 12v battery for power on the blower.....to get the fire up near the top i found an old disc from a plow set, got a pipe the same dia as the hole in the disc, and route the air up throug that. i start it with some paper and the charcoal....then add the coal and coke.....works pretty good..... |
