[TheForge] Peter Renzetti Blacksmith shop for sale

[PlumDon at aol.com]

Please to be aware that Peter Renzetti (AKA "the Unknown Blacksmith") is  
selling his shop...lock, stock and barrel. 
 
He hopes to sell it as a turnkey blacksmith shop with all equipment  
included. There is virtually every piece of equipment a serious blacksmith would  ever 
require...and then some. A more complete inventory will be included at a  
later date but briefly there is a Kuhn air hammer in excellent condition, a  
Clausing milling machine,  South Bend Lathe and a water cooled tig outfit.  There 
are all the usual anvils, tongs, gas forge, etc., etc., etc. Peter did not  do 
fabrication so there are no heavy shears, benders, punches, etc. 
 
The facility is located on an acre of ground about 8 miles north of  
Wilmington, DE and about a mile off Route 202. Actual address is 301 Brinton's  Bridge 
Road, West Chester, PA 19382. Peter can be reached at 610-399-1530. It  
includes the shop and a house. Parts of both date to the late 1700's with  
additions from the mid 19th century. The shop is in excellent condition and is  
structurally sound and tight. There are two floors and a display room. I believe  it 
is about 60' x 40'. There is a splendid workbench with about a 2" masonite  
surface, a paint booth, bathroom, other workbenchs and work areas. The house  
will require work to be habitable. But on the plus side, I think there is about 
 a ton of very good Swedish wrought iron in there somewhere. 
 
The shop will be available after the first of the year. If you know anyone  
who might be interested please pass on this info. If I can provide more info re 
 email, please let me know. Peter does not frequently do email. 
 
Thanks to all
