Ok, I'm just now starting out with blacksmithing but I've been trying to learn and study for a couple of years now.
I want to build my own forge, but I have limited funds.
I already have a soupcan forge but it isn't putting out the kind of heat and isn't big enough for the knives I'm working on.
My question is, what kind of material would be best for me to make my forge out of?
I already have a plan but I just don't have the know-how to know what kind of metal or material to make my furnace chamber out of.
