Hi folks. I'm a member of medieval living history society in Bulgaria. Since my first weapon of choice is the bow, I tried (and succeded in about 75%) to forge my own arrowheads. For heating source I used an old electric pepper-baking device, that I believe cannot be found outside Bulgaria. It easily heated the metal rods to yellow-hot. So the arrowheads started my interest in blacksmithing.
A friend ( his real name is Thor and he's blacksmith ) gave me the adress of this site and after reading and reading... here I am.
Now I'm looking for a forge design that suits me best (so far the washtub seems best) , and am interested on medieval arrowheads, knives and tools smithing.
Greetings
Alexander
