Blacksmith thread
I'm not skilled just lurked, plus got to quit cause not enough space to do the shit right.
Anyway post in this:
DIY coal forge projects
DIY gas forge projects
and anything related comes in your mind

pic: a gas forge. Can be as simple as this, even more simple. Burner can be any cheap propane torch. Enough temperature to forge and quench, not enough for welding

classic coal forge project

Ah I'll warn you the most expensive piece in this shit will be the anvil. Anvils are fucking expensive and chink stuff ain't good.
Get ready to pay like $100 every 10Kg of anvil. 10Kg anvil is good for knives and small pieces though.
Anyway most hobbists use a piece of rail as an anvil. If you can get a piece of rail, fucking get it.
