    Dose anyone here have any experience making bits and spurs. My dad is a horse trainer and wants me to make a tire iron bit, and a pair of clover leaf spurs, i have never made them so dose anyone have a bit of tips and tricks for making them? The pictures attached are examples, i like the rowel and shank on the spurs. The bit should be easy enough -Josh

    I have some 3/4" 1018 steel, will that work for making some handled punches? they will be my first handled tools that i forge, i hope later to try my hand at hammers, so will 1018 work for a first set, i will be using them to make better handled tools and top hardies, i have no powre hammer so it will be all done by hand. I hope to later get some good steel to make some hammers with thanks in advance Josh

    My parents are thinking of letting me build a shop and i am looking for advice, how big should i go? i was thinking 16'x 16' with 8"x8" corner posts and 8"x8" posts in between each corner post, and it will be 10ft tall. 2ft and 8ft off the ground will be 2"x4" across each open section and leave an 8' section open for a door. I will put 1"x6" board and batton walls and a tin roff slanted to 25degrees, any suggstions?
