D'abord, je ne parle pas fran

I've been scratching my head on how to make a forge to heat the copper I work on. Your information about the stove gave me an idea. I don't have a gas stove in the house but I do have a camping stove. I think I'll give it a try. Thanks! Ron

My name is Ron and I live in McMinnville Oregon. I am new to the forum and new to the art of metal forming.

I have done a few small projects like a special gate for a friend and done a bit of copper pipe work for arbors, tellis's, and artform around a porch.

I bought a small - cheap anvil (you get what you pay for) with the intent of doing some basic metal "pounding". I'm sure I will want to upgrade this because it's cast iron.

I have a wire feed welder (no gas) so it splatters like crazy when I weld. A grinder is my best frined. :-)

I plan to be quite on this forum and soak in the details you provide. At some point I will get brave and post some pictures of what I have made and look for some feedback for improvement.

Thanks for the forum and I hope to spend some time here frequently.

Ron
