I just wanted to brag about the auction I won on E-Bay last night ... a Thermal Arts Design access #2 open hearth gas forge ... this company is here in Oregon about a 100 miles from where we live ... this is the second time I've tried to get one of there forges on E-Bay... this time I was smart and waited until the last 30 seconds to make my bid ... I got it for $256 and it normally sells for $401

Is that Propane/Nat. gas fueled?

It's a nice simple design and looks slick.

Give us a performance review, please!

It's propane ... should arrive by the 8th … never used a forge before so it will be a learning experience. I never welded before buying my first stick welder … never had any lessons but now I can do stick, mig and tig … steel to aluminum so I am capable of learning by trial and error … I was just so grateful I discovered WT&T.com … Jody has saved me a lot of hair pulling (and burned fingers :lol: ). I have been watching a lot of blacksmith vids so I’m getting anxious about working with a forge … it will take me a while I’m sure but I’ll be happy to share my experiences with the fine people on this forum, once I no longer look like a total noob.

Hi, Love the photo of the ladder, and the racks, the Argon bottle too, including the fan, and the Hobart welder is really cool.....where's the George Foreman sandwich press, I mean forge....LOL?

I see some bent metal in the vice......did you break it already?...only joking.
