| Why would it take more than one person on a coal forge and not with a gasser. How big of knives are you making ? Mike Tanner

| Check out www.diamondbackironworks.com Seems to have a good selection with reasonable prices, IMHO. Tell him you heard about him on IforgeIron, also.

| Jet, try a bigger coal fire and electric blown air. Set the air to idle the fire out at the temp you need.

| I can attest that DiamondBack makes some nice hot forges... I got the 1 burner knife maker/welding forge.

| I Am Mostly Self Taught Pos I Am Not Doing Somthing Right. But With My Forge Keping Up With The Fire And Watching My Steel . And Trying To Keep It Clean For Me Is Not Easy. And Finding Good Coal Were I Am Is Getting Hard. So I Tought Using A Gasser To Be The Best Way To Go. |
