Turn of the century belt driven drop forge for free. You must disassemble from floor (about 10″ below floor) and disconnect from steel ceiling girders. Very heavy and great for scrap metal. This is a few to several person job and may take more then a day. This unit was bought used in 1937
SCRAP?!
Fuckin’ heretic!

Just search craigs list central NJ, it’s in free stuff.
Well, a house isn’t really a home without a drop forge. Just not in the living room otherwise the Missus goes a bit spare …
First time he drops that hammer, and she’s home…. Well, I think I’d rather be at ground zero for nuke.
I actually know a couple of guys that would love to have that thing.
That would be me, for example. If it was 30 years ago. Id have the truck packed, and a flat bed and backhoe waiting.
Ill help pull it down and have a source(not free) to move it.

Phil, you’re gonna need a bigger garage for that.
He needs a bigger garage anyway, say, Houston Astro Dome kind of big…
He’ll just fill that up too!
back in the 1970’s machine shops where closing down left and right all over philly.
you would not believe what was showing up in scrapyards back then.
I did buy a few machine tools for scrap price. what they weigh in iron.
if I had a place to store them, I would have gotten more.
ever see a few barrels of tool bits ? I have boxes of unground bits.
I did score a good bench vise for 15 bucks. it weighs about 100 pounds or so.
sad part is most of the tools/machines are better made than any chink junk sold today. my brother uses a 2 inch tap as a bookend that I gave him.
used to have a 3 inch drill bit, but after the move here I can’t find it.
a whole lot of machine tools ended up a scrap metal. and I bet a lot of it went
overseas too.
First of all, ya gotta have a furnace to melt/soften the ingots.
That right thar is a non-starter.
Heckuva deal, though!!
