Thomas, all I am really interested in for now is making knife blades.  I suppose I will eventually get into forge welding.  Buzzkill, Thanks for the advice I will certainly read up on it.  Myself and a buddy of mine are planning to partner up and learn to make blades.  I have a few of these ammo cans and so one just may become a quench tub...lol.

Hi all, I am new here and new to forge building so please forgive me if I pop any dumb questions on you.  I have a 20mm ammo can (7" x 14" x 17") that I would like to make into a forge.  I think once I line it with fire brick I will have a good area to heat blades to make good bowie sized knife blades.  Has anyone done this before and what type (and how many) burners should I use?  I want to make this a propane forge.

Thanks in advance!
