I know it's not blacksmithing, Per Se. It's not pretty either, and it's definitely not worth hardening. I cut it out of a piece of scrap mild just for the experience. I think I did alright tho considering my tools consist of a bench grinder, belt sander and a drill press. -Allen

Just a charcoal brake drum forge from what I think is the brake drum from a bus.

Actually the forge isn't quite ready. still working on getting the rest of the pipe fittings and such, but I figured I would stop long enough to say hi. I've been reading literally everything I can get my hands on trying to develop at least half an idea of what I'm doing before I fire this bad boy up.
