I have made a simple forge out of the large break drum you gave to me and a lawn mower deck (upended to fit over the drum). I use charcoal, chunk charcoal and dried wood to get the heat to red, orange and a slight white hot. I have made a scoop thing for getting my fuel into the fire, ive made a couple of penanular broaches, couple of s hooks, j hooks etc. I also made one paper towel holder and two toilet paper holders for the house. I have successfully made a hold down tool, two hot cut hardies out of jackhammer chisels (small ones ppl first used as regular chisels before I got to them). basic trinket stuff and some tools I see a need for. ive taken your instruction to me as well as I can, repeat the steps and make the next one a little better and consistent. I will endeavor to seek out information and tools as I can. seems ive got the bug a bit late in life however I can always use the skill I aquire to better my armor making and make things for the Farm-we have 19acrs, good size house, 4 goats, 30 odd chickens for milk and eggs and recently got a horse for the Wife. my life is full of busy. enough on this site of my Bla bla e fore I get booted. :) thank you for responding, wishing you well from us.
