Hello/God bless: WTB Swage 18x18 type, will pick up. | Want to Buy | Forum

Hello's from New! member,

My son,(just turned 15yr old- already 6' tall and heading to 6'-7" like my father) big,ready to hammer all day and night.

He is needing a Good Priced Swage Block. I had hoped to buy one from the Chap that just offered 1 or two out, listing it, where it showed in Google search. I guess it sold,but i missed it, when working to get it, while my (registering) was taking place.

I hope to find at least a Min, or 16x16 and can pay Good market value, maybe even a bit more. I as well will have added cost of collecting it. I am in the general Northern West coast, to as well the ability to travel down south to LA and am now locaed in the TX -DFW area.
I work in San Fransisco, and have owned homes in Sonoma area, having worked on projects as far up North as Washington State. I have no troubles to drive to gather one, but just might need a little schedule time to get it.
I am doing 6-8 projects in Bay area of CA, on regular schedule, so i am sure it would be easy to find a fast and easy transaction time and date, to come get it.

I do not want to get one off E-Bay and deal with all that Bunk,with shippings costs as well. I love to travel and it gives me some Vaca time for family/Kids as well.
I will be in West coast, from LA to Napa, within a few weeks, but can travel up to Alaska, if need be. I have some family there and no problem to hang out there,as well the Washington/Oregon States, while gathering a Swage from Up there in AK/Wash/Org States.

Just give me a shout if you have one available, of this size already spoke of, and have ready the $$$ you want,(within reason of course) and at least a good market value. I might toss in more, for holding it for a week or 2-3, if schedule is slight time issue to get there. I just need a fair deal. I am not looking for " RARE " ones, "Special" ones, Extra "Vintage" ones, which maybe somebody needs to add 1-2-3-4 hundred more because of these Tag names applied..
I am not looking to keep it pretty and have a show piece, just need one for a young boy of 15yr old, to learn the trade on.

I have built a Furnace, Gas furnace and Snappy-WV, Power Hammer, all in this last Yr, so he has plenty of tools to help him learn. I already bought a Double bick and a French 209 lb anvil, so he has two anvils, from a Chap- Gary Hilton in Austin/Huston HABA area of TX.

I have plenty of small hammers and tools, but just need this 16x16 -18x18 Swage, for him to practice with, MAYBE? a leg vice in the future, but not now. We have 3 other vices, of very heavy weight for now.

Please let us know if you can part with a good size Swage and it needs to be of 150-300 lbs, but for sure at least a 16 -18 sq'er size.

Thanks for the long read. I am New to this site, so please be patient with my ramblings. I try to give all the information i can, so a person will not expect something, or misunderstand what i need. I am offering to buy one(1) Swage of certain only size 16 -18 inch sq'erd type, pick it up and pay $CASH$ on arrival, when there to pick it up.

Very very best to you all and thanks again for reading this LONG winded WTB Note.

Best regards 2 all, and yours out there.
God bless.:wavespin:
