[TheForge] Spare tire hammer workshop

[Albin Drzewianowski]

My understanding is that the school itself is a not-for-profit educational 
entity.  I am betting that they will probably be buying new materials for 
the hammers, and not scrounging.  But because of the welding school and the 
association with (I think it is) Maine Oxy (a welding supply company) I bet 
they get a really good price for the steel compared to if you or I went to 
buy it.

In case you have not yet taken a class there. NESM is a large modern 
facility.  Half the building is a blacksmith school and the other half of 
the building is a welding school.  i.e. all the latest welding equipment.

I can't think of a better facility to hold a  power or treadle hammer 
building workshop:  space,  power,  equipment.  And because its a welding 
school,  multiples of most of the welders, etc
