I was fortunate to be able to get this blower and a Buffalo forge #651 a number of years ago for a total of $15. Great piece of forging equipment!

Great idea creating the numbers with wire and attaching them with JB Weld. I also never thought about using a foam brush to apply spray paint. Nice restoration! Thanks for sharing.

Is there anything you can't do?? I discovered your channel last week and have binged most of your videos and all I can say is WOW, you are not afraid to try anything!! Only one thing I haven't seen you do and I'm going to give you a challenge! Make DINNER! Rules: 1) only one pan or pot can be used, 2) you must make or restore your pan/pot and cooking utensils. 3) Must be cooked in the shop using one of your forges 4) dinner for 2. Good Luck Cap!

I have a red star Buffalo forge. I believe it was the earliest production of this blower. Instead of the gearbox it is a 3ft diameter steel wheel direct drive. I think it's around 150 years old. Came off a property that hosted general Braddock in Maryland.

Wow! Very impressive video production and craftsmanship! You went way beyond most other restorations by blacksmithing your own replacement handle and making your own custom stand. The only thing that surprised me was the use of shiny new hex bolts. In my view, those shiny new hex bolts clash (according to my taste) with the rest of it. This doesn't detract anything from the quality of your work -- you did an amazing job! Well done and thanks for sharing!
