Ok thanks I will check that out and Thomas powers if you would kindly tell me how you made a starter blacksmiths kit tfor $25 I would really be thankful.

Thanks for all your feedback and I understand what you saying. I am just having trouble doing blacksmithing for I am 14 and its hard to get access to a forge and an anvil. Any suggestions.:)

I was thinking of apprenticshipping for a farrier even though most likely I'm not going to be one do you think its a good idea to do. Tell me what you think

Thats very nice good work and keep it coming..

No i live in jersey a long way away so no i will just order it.

Thanks and my brake drum arlready has predrilled holes and also where would i find a tuyre. I can't spell:p

The problem is i do not have a welder or anyting like that any other ideas. I thought this was good to use until i made my other forge then i could put this one at my historical society i work at its an old stone house and its open every dember for people to do arts and crafts and to look at the building and i was thinking of doing a demo for it to get more donations.

HOW thats what i am asking.

I have a brake drum and a pipe for my hair dryer but i am missing the peice that connets the tube to the drum does anyone know where to find one. :mad:. Ha i also found this forge online for 50 bucks Coal Forge

I was just wondering how long should i do Nails and other simple decrotive peices before i get into big pieces like swords?

Great i only live in ramsey,new jersey not far away at all pm as soon as possiable with your phone number i will have my dad or mom call you and mabe i can come over some time and do some blacksmithing

I actually did do the puppy eyes and told my mom about propane forge.She was really only worried about the forge and the open fire so i need a website where i can buy a propane forge and another one on how to make one. And i do have a ench press and dumbells so i already lift weights for wrestling.

No i can't i wish i could but when your only 13 its kinda hard

I know i have been on that website but there are no classes until the summer as i have looked i am looking for a place that i can go like next week.

So i started my forge today for the first time and it was bad the pipe fell out holding the blower. My mom said since i am only young its best for me to go somewhere to do blacksmithing. So does anyone know a place in NJ where i can go i already know you posted it to me in another post but i forgot it does anyone know a place in NJ that i could go today and check out.

Right now i am using railroad track spikes are those ok.

I was just wondering instead of useing a three way peice can i use and elbow.

What does this mean or what is this. Becuase i really don't wana die from these fumes!

i wish i could make a sword

Hey clay welcome to the fourm.I have been here for about4 weeks and I'll tell ya this is a great fourm if your just starting out. For your question on what metal you should get if your just starting out you should definetly use scrap metal I have been told that railroad track spikes are good since there free. But old car axles work make sure its either steel or iron i don't think tin or anything like that would work but i am sure some of our senoir members know so wait for there reply.

I am 13 years old and i was in boyscouts. Some of my friends are still in it i will find out when they are going to do that badge and maybe i could tag along.

I am not trying to say that i will not listen to more experiexed blacksmithing what i am trying to say is that my mom will not let me have my own shop at my house and you can only go to a workshop at certain times.I really would like someone to teach me how to blacksmith hands on. But i don't not wana have a shop.

:):)Yesterday i was looking through my garage when i came upon a tool box i took it down from the shelf and then there appears all these hammer for blacksmithing as i looked through the box a little more i found 3 pairs of tongs and labout 5 hammers all diffrent and about 3 punches. Then i asked my dad who knew i was doing blacksmithing and said O'ya your great grandfather was a black smith and his anvils at your grandpas house so tommorow i am going to go pick up my anvil WOOOOOOOOOOOO!:)

I am still looking for some place where i can apprentenship at.

I know what you mean but i want to use lump charcoal its the easiest way and pretty cheap
