Nee nee, ek begin nou maar net ongelukkig. Het klaar my ambeeld reg en die yster vir my tools ook, sal hopelik more met my forge begin en hom teen Saturdag up en running he. Fok maar ek juk om te begin slaan aan daai yster!

Thanks man, I must say that the people on this forum are all exceptionally friendly thus far:) I'm in George so it's a few hundred k's for a visit but I appreciate the offer, definitely be there when I'm in Cape Town again though.

My donner dudes! Ek het nie geweet ek sal myself vasloop in ander Suid Afrikaners hier nie. Wel ek's Waldo van George in die Wes-kaap, hello daar:) Hahaha! Ek doen Blacksmithing maar net as a hobby vir nou maar dis excellent!

Thanks Jayco I'll be sure to check around and hopefully start construction tomorrow if the weather keeps:) I thinks I'll go for the coal forge, keep it natural and all. What type of steel do you recommend for the tongs by the way?

I just joined this forum tonight and this seemed to be the obvious thread to begin on. Hello then everyone and I look forward to speaking about the thing that is obviously a passion of everyone here, blacksmithing. First off the bat, I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO MAKE A BLOODY FORGE! I love metal and forming it into what I want it to be even though all I've made lately on my brother's advice was a sword. Sadly and unfortunately I had to do this with a bar of mild-steel, a grinder and a welder. I've got an anvil luckily that I inherited seeing as my great-grandfather was a blacksmith, but now I seriously need my forge! Help!
