This is mine hope it helps.Both front and back dor slides up and down , backdor is most of the time closed.I can also put to more fire bricks on the floor of the forge if i want a little small chamber to get it hoter.

For some reason i just can't find the site but here is something that i've found seems to be a nice burner

The most important thing is the burner ...do u want to forge weld in it ?... i am looking for the link that helped me brb with the result

It's a big chalange for me to... probably i'll start working at it in the middel of the next week
so wish me good luck

Found some good ones (that i liked) 10x but ... how do i make this cave i don't know how it's caled ...it's the cave that sits on the middle of the blade ... i think it's used for the blood to pour out from the body here is what i mean The Gotland Viking Sword Photos

Oh yes that was the word lacquer ...is it a good idea to cover the finished metal with it ?
BTW this is how i want the sword 2 look like THIS
Just kidding but ...Wow it looks nice

iF I GOT IT WRITE the sword will sit outside ... in the weather and i don't want it to rust .Is it a good idea to sprai paint it with ..how is it caled the paint that you aply on the car after it has been bainted to make it shine

Shoud i use spring steel or mild steel ? any way it will be just for display (spring steel is the only thing i have in high carbon- i make some dies out of it) i am thinking about rust when i am asking this question

i don't know if u have seen this site but ... i found it looking arround for pictures for inspiration they are some fine looking reproduction swords Swords by Albion Swords

Is it a good idea to protect it with bee's wax after that ?

Ok...finaly i have the chance to make a real sword ! An Italian importan customer asked me to manufacture a large sword of about 1.7meters long 65 melimeter wide. The problem is as some of you may know i have never made a sharp pointey object that looks like a sword or knife I wante it to be beuitful not necesarly usefull as i know the sword will stay just at display so it won't be in use. This is why i think i will make it of mild steel (second reason is caz most of the material i can buy in stock is mild steel). Any tips about making it are apreciated ... i think about starting from a square 25x25 wide but this is a real chalange for me. Any help about how i should make it and look good is apreciated.Remember i have no experience about making swords :)

Neider Romanians do .... we have our wiskey caled palinca i wonder who does ?

my power hammer sits on wood 25x25 mm thick and the floor has no crack ... and my normal anvil has cracked the floor from the sledge hammer

Seems that you have done a better job than i did mine droped on a side while moving:)

Seems to me that there where lot's of saints that patron over the blacksmiths ! Probably caz the blacksmiths are some good people ! :)

Hmm i had no ideea about St. Eloi until a few minutes agowhen i watched a video posted on the forum .Did u know that St.Eloi is the Patron Saint of Blacksmiths ? I wonder when is he celebrated i've been searching arround google but only found little information about him most of it in french ...here is how he looks like just in case that you ...same as me had no ideea

Hmm interesting .Hardley wait to see more details!

Seems like a good book ! i love the horse

It's hard to say what's the most important tool in the shop steel ruler ? power hammer ? hammer dies ? Angle grinder ...At least i can not do without them

Doing it right the first time makes life easyer but for some reason no metter how many times i've done it wrong i still can't always make it right the 1st time !

Why don't u build one ? you only need a big screw a bolt some scraps and a welding machine

Is that old friend a girl ? she whoud be impresed !

Seems that you have done a nice job i still can't get my forge at welding point or for some reason i just can't weld with it

I like the way it looks but having so many little stones on the flor hmm...what happens when you drop a screw ? I don't know maybe it works

Hmm inside my shop i don't listen to any kind of music.There is so mutch noise most of the time so having some music arround will be one more had ake .Outside the shopp is a completley different thing.
