Hello all. I live in the Idaho Panhandle out of Priest River. I've made some wood stoves & lots of other fabricated projects, repaired lots of broken stuff,made a few hand-wrought iron articles, and most recently decided to get into making knives. It seems about time to do something not so heavy & more pleasant of a challenge. I beat out some damascus steel from harrow discs & lumber mill band-saw blade using a propane forge with two Zoeller-style burners. I took its' temperature which was 2400 F. That's two burners with a 5 gal. propane tank body laying horizontal lined with 2" of Kaowool. It has a 4" square hole in each end. Next is getting the blades ground. Maybe I'll get more done this week. At least I'm making progress. We're having fun anyhow.
