My forge itself.
It's faily plain. About six days ago I got the materials I needed to make a forge for my hobby knife making (a body, refractory cement, and some ceramic insulating foam.) Tonight I fired it up in earnest for the first time, and tried to treat one of my knife blanks I've got (I've got one more I can fire. I ground them from O-1 tool steel using a belt grinder long before I even had a forge to finish them with.)

ReplyDeletebottom one. and if you can how much would that run me?
Still a complete amateur, I'm afraid. I couldn't make something that nicely right now. Maybe in a few years. ):
ReplyDeleteLater today I'll post up some pictures of a knife I've been working on, and then you'll get to laaaaauuugh.

ReplyDeleteI am amazed, you made your own forge? I'm so jealous.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap! You made this?! I didn't even know you could make those. I assumed you'd have to buy something like that
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'd totally be interested! I'll take what ever info you can provide
