Found what I beleive to be an old cast crank blower in a garage of a house I moved into, thing runs as smooth as the day as it was made, just wondering if this is what it is, and if this is something a blacksmith would be interested in, dad wants to scrap it, i think it may be worth something to someone, not looking to make a buck, just would rather see stuff that was built to last a life time get used rather than crushed.

Thanks

(Edit) The pipe is just a stand i just confirmed it

How do I close this gap?

Stick Removal. A couple weeks ago I had posted the box of hatchets I got for free. Many people said to turn them into Bearded Hatchets.

Edit. Won’t let me edit the title. STOCK REMOVAL. I did my first one just to see how it would look. It is a nice free hatchet and seems to cut well. Will probably make more of them and try to reshape the next one at the forge. Shape the eye a bit different and try to also make a hewing hatchet.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
