Your blade work is very impressive 

I mostly work on the blacksmithing side w/a coal forge.

though I have made some large two handed machetes.

looking forward to hearing from you.

Bigger is better.

 Teachers answer the same old questions every year.

Janitors empty the same old trash every day.

If you want to help then help if not move on to the next post.

I love This site, warts and all!

p.s. I've heard it said  " whining promotes Satan's success , While being positive glorifies God.

Gulf Coast Blacksmiths meets in Covington La.
I get my coal from Mr. Leonard, check out their web site.
Hope this helps!

 I like it! How do I make the pics bigger ?

I use an old kitchen sink [it's heavy].
I have clayed the bottom & use bituminous coal/charcoal.
It works great.

Prayers sent from, Hattiesburg Ms.

Your temp and h/t forge is fine

The forge for normal work needs to be smaller(long heats waste fuel cause U can only hammer so much per heat]& more manageable.

 hope this helps.

Thanks Frosty!

What if a bicycle inertube was used instead of leather ?

The Ms. forge council is very close to you, in jackson ms.

Did you pinch that dawg w/ those tongs??? :angry:

When you cut out , you lose weight.
