Just a quick update, I had asked for an extension several months ago and have received it, it's getting close to that weather were I can go out and dig a hole and start making the forge part of my crazy project.
I have also emailed Regia to see what historical information they have used in making their bellows.
There was a quick lead in Sweden a few months back but the museum blacksmith shops bellows seem to have been converted to a double bellows and unfortunately its even upside down, when I have time I'll have to remind myself to email them on that. It might make their smiths life alot easier if he tries it the other way, and he'll be able take the rocks off of it because it won't need a counter weight. Its a common mistake....Dare you to go to the Smithsonian and check out their double bellows... mind you they might have fixed that by now.
