I recently finished building a forced-air propane forge with an electric blower.
It works great, the metal gets hot enough to forge, BUT one part that I have not included
is a propane regulator. The only reason being is money.
I have spent a year and a halfworking on this project, and through trial and error spent quite a bit on its construction. I recently bought a new car, and do need to be more prudent on how I spend, and I
just wonder, as how this is more first forray into Blacksmithing, if a regulator is ABSOLUTELY
necessary right now.
Below is a pic of my forge. The propane setup is not shown, as you can see there is a bright fire
in the opening.
What do you need to get started in Blacksmithing?
