Material to start with,
A couple of questions,
when would you use old leaf springs or other hardened metals For some jobs such as knives but normal S275 - S355 (43A - 50D) for other jobs, will the softer carbon steel grades be easier to work, but only used for decorative work?
Also, what design of forge should I be thinking of, as I dont have the room for a full traditional jobby,
Would clamping on a basic hairdryer really be very effective as a form of air flow?
If I should have filed this post elsewhere, please let me know
Cheers
Dave
