Well it's al lI got so far :D
Thanks :D

So far it looks like making this Brick forge or any bigger would cost around $20 in here, even less :D
Hopefully I can get started on it soon.

I heard of "wax Replacement" Method for making swords, is it any good? Are there any info about them in here?

Also one last thing, looks like I'll be working on Knives for a looong time :D Why no make knives for food and the house? What kind of metal do I need for that?

I had it laser cut...(on my laser)....

I finally found the post I've been dying to find again.

Now I can't decide which to build, that Brick forge or this Sucker forge, can anyone tell me what's the technical difference?
Is there 1 that is better? :D

This is an example, this was not the Sword, the one I saw was REAL, he was dragging it behind him and it made sparks with the friction on the asphalt xD
He's well built and he can use both of his hands to kind of lift it 180', but when it comes to swaying a hit, gravity does 99% the other 1% is aiming by him xD

Is it even possible to make such a sword? How???

Start working on knives first for a couple of years 'til you get the techniques, then graduate, see how your forge works then rebuild if necessary

TEACH ME MASTER!!!!

well I AM going to work on swords, but if it's a lot on fuel... then that's a bummer :D

I am starting my work on the forge in a couple of days max, hopefully. Just waiting to find the best blueprint and design.

There are two types of forge hearths, side blast, and bottom blast,

Side blast forges do not have an ash dump, the ashes and clinkers are removed directly from the fire using a slice and rake.

Bottom blast forges need an ash dump and grate to allow the air to come up through the fire, clinkers can be dealt with in a similar way to the side blast, or a clinker breaker incorporated into the tue.

This set up means ashes and debris will fall down into the air supply arrangement, and so to prevent choking, some form of ash dump must be considered.

This picture shows an assembly to fit under a bottom blast hearth, It will need a suitable arrangement for the air to pass through



And this is the hearth it is fitted beneath, the air holes are 10mm diameter on a 75mm pitch circle diameter



Hope this helps and gives you something to start to work from

Why is this topic dead? :D
I wanna see xD

Thomas: You are a tester?

Divermike: I have no problems with doing so, the reason I got to this forum is to find someone to tell me what to do, where to start, how to start. So far I can't even get how the masonry forge works or how is it built, most of the Blueprints I found didn't explain or even show how to get rid of the ashes, but they all agreed that you have to lose them :D. Have you made badass Blades yet? :P

iron woody: Isn't that how Chinese spears work? :D

Frosty: Wanna bet Egypt is not one of them? :P

Ironbud: I am in Egypt man xD

ThomasPowers: Glad I was of help xD

First of all I am sorry you guys for the late reply, I've been having a bad time with the connection, I am really glad a lot replied and tried to help :D

iron woody: Yes indeed, the thing is I have NO clue about bladesmithing whatsoever. That's why I asked for keywords :D

David Einhorn: I think I understood 70>>85% of what you said xD Thanks a lot :D the link you posted is not working though, and I think I have no idea how to make the forge to have a space to blow air and still a space to collect ashes from (this is all the knowledge I have about Forges :D) The Illustration is not showing a lot when it comes to these two points, but it's really helpful to imagine most of it.

I am going to build a brick forge on the roof, it is REALLY cheap to build one in here, almost 18$ will cover the cement and the bricks xD I can't use any other forges, because where I am from, there are almost non (not in my city any ways), no one makes weapons and stuff like that, they are only interested in handcrafted iron projects, and they use electric wielders to make those xD.

ThomasPowers: Well, thank you for the warm welcome :D I'll seriously follow this advice, I have to build a forge first :D
Yes, my bad it WAS supposed to be Melee xD, and I doubt I could meet up with anyone to help me with this quest of mine xD

Frosty: Thank you too for this welcoming :D But let me assure YOU that it's you the one who would be surprised :D I am from Egypt, I bet I am the first from there to join this place xD

I don't know the difference between the propane and masonry forges, but I've been looking into how the masonry forge works and I didn't get anywhere xD no need for multiples, I just want to know how to build one that will coast less on the long run.

Bentrion1946: Thank you, and I can assure you I wasn't planning on buying anything xD.

Hello everyone,

Long story short, I am a 20 years old who has been fascinated by Mele weapons since I was a kid, now I decided to learn how to make them, I have a lot of unused space (roof and garage and a very small garden).
I can't wait to start, so far I can't find any blueprints for a brick forge, as I said I have space but not so much on cash :D

If anyone got any references or Threads for beginners, can you please share? :D

Can't wait till I start knowing you guys, have a nice day :D
