    Redwing made me feel very at ease. As the weather warmed up towards summer, I continued to wear them, but they never made my feet sweat.

    Thanks for the suggestions. Just an update, I found a wall-mounted pet gate when I was searching online. The dimensions seem to fit my workplace.

    I am planning to build an indoor gate for my dog. I want to keep him off my workplace because. Which is better, the free-standing or the wall-mounted one?

    No luck at all. I think I need to get a good burner before the forge.

    Preferably, I want a gas forge that has open end ports. It would also be best if it has a hinged top as well. I will use it for general blacksmithing.

    Guys, I'm planning to buy a propane forge. Do you have any recommendations?

    I agree. Aside from this, the Japanese sword blades are forged with different profiles and varying amounts of grind. They also use a mixture of clay and water in between heating.

    Well, 5160 is a very tough steel but it's very fast to rust.

    For general household use, I think a 4- to 5-inch vise is large enough to handle most tasks. This measurement is for the length of the jaws.

    Did you do the Tempering Temperature around 220 deg Fahrenheit?

    A small veining gouge also helps in outlining the design.

    You're right. Sledgehammers are good anvil substitutes since they are strong enough to forge most things. Or you can go f or a London-pattern anvil.

    Looking nice. I personally like the leaf. The details are so precise. Thumbs up for this

    I meant to say that the sledgehammer head can be used as an anvil.

    It's better to use a sledgehammer set.

    LOL. I like this. I'll definitely consider this idea.

    We're planning to set up a blacksmith shop for home use. Do you think it's a feasible idea?

    My father did it also, and he hates the neighbor for always wanting to borrow it.

    Hi all, Just got in here. My dad used to be a blacksmith, so I also got the interest from him. I've been doing this for the past 6 years now. I hope I'll be able to share my experiences with you guys.
