 ***Home Made Forge*** I was showing this in another thread, thought i would share. If there are any amateur blacksmiths out there.. I built my own propane forge from a 20 lb. propane tank, a weedburner from harbor freight and some plumbing parts from home depot.. and hi temp insulation from ebay,,, Cost about 100 bucks, compared to the 2-300 they get on ebay for them... also bought a 55lb anvil at harbor freight for 29 dollars on sale here are the pics and some pics of some of the stuff I made... If anyone is interestered I will post the detailed drawings for building it,, Enjoy Mark

| Re: ***Home Made Forge*** Hey mark, I didnt have my IR thermometer, I will have to check the temp now that I have one.. I have forged band iron together without a problem, Tempering is done a few ways.. Ash, boric acid, oil, water, depending on the steel.. I tempered my plane blades i made and they tested to rockwell 62 Mark

| Re: ***Home Made Forge*** Mark, that is an excellent forge, very nice work, I sure like the tomahawk. Looks like you have a pretty fine shop to go along with it. |

| Re: ***Home Made Forge*** Those are amazing! You make the entire box from scratch, right? What do they look like on the inside? The forge is very cool, too. You could even start making decorative hinges and fastenings for the boxes maybe... And I love the picture of your workspace. I need to show that to my husband, to prove that all my tools and stuff do NOT take up too much room!
