    Newbie here also and I agree with your post. I have had to hack together stuff to get me started but I feel doing this makes you appreciate learning more. Ditto on using the Royal Oak brand charcoal....not to expensive and burns hot...wife was good to me and bought me a couple of bags for Christmas...

    Bish's Scrap Metal just outside Siler City off of Old Hwy 421 which is about 35-45 min from Raleigh. There phone number is 919-663-3336. It just depends on what they have when you go but they do sell to the public and I have found some useful stuff there. Also very friendly staff. Hope this helps.....

    Hey Burlington area of NC here.....I built a forge like some of the designs I have seen on here and youtube and have so far only used charcoal for fuel. I am still kinda new at this but I can't see where there would be any differences.

    I am on my second forge now...I built one from scratch and have a hand cranked blower for it. Just kinda getting started really have't had time in the past few months to do anything. I am very interested and do research when I have time. I am mostly interested in making tools and hardware type items. I have also piddled around with making some knives out of railroad spikes.

    Hey, Mike--I live just north of Greensboro about 20 minutes in the country--I make knives, but by stock removal--joined this site to research an anvil I sold last month--I am an avid fisherman, make turkey calls and other related game calls and am a dedicated turkey hunter--do you have a forge set up or are you getting started--what is your level of interest in the craft--
    Regards--

    Fired up my newly built forge today. Same style as some others have made, plate steel fire pot and top with angle iron legs. Champion forge blower which I got a heck of a deal on works great.
