Lumberjack

Lumberjack check out my gallery, I don't know about the gas tank, but i started with a dirt forge, then a brick dirt forge, then a brick plywood forge(stupid), and now my own metal forge, fabbed by me. Do you have anvil, hammer, or metal???

Hey everyone, I am interested in getting into smithing and am looking to make a forge, I currently have an old car gas tank and I am wondering if this could be modified to be turned into a decent beginners forge? If so, can someone give me advice for building the forge and what a beginner should make to start with, I want to make knives/swords eventually.

Any advice would be great, thanks!
