Hello everyone,
My Name is Ross. I have been collecting scrap metal for the past year. mostly aluminum , copper, and iron. I have been wanting to melt all of it down into ingots for later use. I need a forge of course to get this all done. I live on a small vegetable farm in a small town in Texas. I have a spring about half a mile in the woods behind my house. Along the edge of this spring there is a ton of clay. I plan to gather a lot of this clay to form bricks for my forges. To make a long story short I want to build everything from the ground up. including tools, forge, anvil.... the works. I plan to make my forge a coal burning forge (I like the idea of forging in the days of old). I want to be able to forge all different types of things, such as weapons of different types and armour. I try to make it to Ren Fest at least twice a year. Does anyone have any input for a newbie like myself, who wants to start from scratch? Any good resource site i should check into? Any info would be amazing, and input is fantastic as well. Thanks for reading my dreams, i could go way more into detail but my wife is ready to sleep so i must rush. =D Thanks for reading my dreams!
