The chain link pattern is amazing. Thanks for the pics all.:)

I have spent the last hour or so reading 24 pages of posts for a man I don't know. I am in awe. I send my wishes along with hopes of chatting with Frosty at some point. Amazing community here, I am glad to be a part of it. William

Awesome, I love them. Thanks for the pics.:)

Clearly what you have there is a roundtuit.:D

Sorry for the lack of info gentlemen. I don't foresee me doing anything big. I would like to learn pattern welding for knives and to learn to make smaller pieces etc. I have been doing research and I have been finding people saying that they like this forge and that forge but it doesn't get hot enough to weld in etc etc. So I guess I seek info on a smaller forge for more art type work that is hot enough to weld. With regards to equipment I have a plasma, a tig, torches, and most related shop equipment. I thank you again. William

I am considering buying a gas forge but may build one and have some questions for you fine folks. Please forgive me if my terminology is not 100% 1. Normally aspirated or blower ? 2. Favourite brand names ? 3. Design with regards to doors etc if built or bought 4. 2 burner or 3 5. Is a bought forge any better than one I can fab myself ? Thank-you William ps: Thanks to everyone that makes this site possible, I can't believe the wealth of information here and the talented people. I am glad to be here.

The quick and dirty answer to your question.. No, it's not a lesser weld, nor is the other better. Sorry guys, new here, was replying to a question on the first page and then I cant seem to delete this.

Hello, I am wondering if there are any members here from Nova Scotia, Canada and if so could you contact me. Thank-you so much:)

They each have their place, If you were welding pressure vessels than I would say flux core, but if your just doing fab etc solid wire is the way to go. I have a Tig welder and love it.

Thank-you Sir, I have tried twice to send you PM's to no avail. I am not sure if they have been sent or not. William

Forgive me in advance if I am asking rookie questions. I'll try not to look like an a$$. Could you fine folks give me some advice on the size of gas forge I should build/buy. I plan on doing mostly sculpture and mixed medium ( wood/metal) pieces. Thank you in advance. ps: Sorry, I think I hijacked your thread, I thought I was starting a new thread and not replying to one. I am new.

Hello and greetings from Canada, I have just signed up and hope to ask lots of questions and make some new friends. I am in the process of changing professions and want to learn blacksmithing and have started the process of acquiring equipment and building what I can. So thanks in advance.
