I currently have a solid fuel fire, and it's great. I can do everything in it, but I have decided to move into more of the blade smithing side of things and would like to get/make a propane forge for all the fire welding (cleaner fire etc.). I've done some searches on the and found many designs and tutorials for making a gas forge. Being relatively inexperienced with them though I can't tell what is a good design and what isn't. I was wondering if any of you knowledgeable people could perhaps steer in the right direction. I will start with knives and hopefully move onto swords, so if I can build something that will be suitable for both that would be excellent. If not that's fine I'll just build two . Any hints, tips, and links will be greatly appreciated. When I start building it I'll upload some pics so you can see how I'm doing.
