Hey everyone, new here, found the forms yesterday morning and spent the whole day just reading post and getting tips to get myself started. I started working on a my first little forge which will be a JOBOD forge, and I will be making a post in the forge section when its done. For right now I'm trying to start this as cheap as possible because my job slows down a lot in the winter, so I'm scavenging as much as I can. I just need to get some grind wheels to cut down the tuyere pipe, and dig some clay of from the our stream which Im not looking forward too in 30ºF. I'm also waiting on a railroad anvil that's should be coming today I hope, as well as I need to find a good way to make charcoal without a steel barrel, I don't really have the money or the means to even get one here right now. I don't want to spend money on fuel so buying some is not an option right now. Once I get all that sorted I can finally start my first project which will be a pair of rebar tongs. Lucky for me I'm a stone mason so I can get scraps from our jobs all the time. So far I've put about $45 in this new hobby, 33 for the anvil, and 12 for a hairdryer, Ill probably have to buy some other tools soon but this should get me started for now and I cant wait!
