To give it a fair evaluation, how about sending it to me for some intensive testing.
If i don't like it I will tell you in about a week, if I do like it then in about 6 months, If I really like it about 6 years. {Big dopey Grin}
Very nice
This is an idea I have been considering. I might have access to a propane tank to make the forge, and all I would need is plumbing supplies and a blower to amke the burner.
I saw one on instructables that was used to melt steel for foundry work.
Hello
My name is Verga. Thank you for letting me sign up for the Forum.
I am interested in black smithing from the knifemaking point of view.
I have already built 5 knives. Four were premade blanks that I had to put the scales on (and do a bit of sharpening) and the fifth was an old file that I annealed shaped and put the scales on. It is kind of crude, but it fits my hand and i like it.
I have alot of experience as a wood worker and machinist and I plan on building my own forge. I am still going back and forth about using propane of waste oil.
I have been quite a bit of research on both.
any input would be appreciated.
I also signe up with the local blacksmith club last week.
