ok ill try that

really?um is there any chance you can send me the link to those pages?thanx DM

ok i dont think you guys understand what i ment,i can only use the internet on my friends computer for 10 minutes a day thats why i cant go and search for hours to find an answer.im not beeing rude or ungratful but thats my situation.soon i will have internet on my own Pc so ill be on forever

Yes i do like camping,fishing and those things,i will probably just collect pieces of Rail road sleepers and use them,aparently they are very hard and have awesome colors when varnished or treated

No what i meant is that i can only go on for about ten minutes at a time

i dont really know what pine it is.um i know of a wood called Kouri and its very pritty wood when vanished,but it also is a tree thats not allowed to be droped/chopped down.
thanx for all the help guys DM

im happy to hear that pope :)

yup but dont you guys worry because i think im starting to figure out how the site works,you see i didnt have alot of time on the net to read all the different posts to find my answer so i just asked it,but as i said im getting the hang of it.

Would a piece of pine tree wood make a good knife handle?i have alot of the stuff

yes i did but i wanted to see many different ways to help me decide but ive finished it, i just used the blade of the knife to dig a hole inside the horn/antler and dug my way in with a leatherman saw.i know its wierd but hey i did it and ill post pics once ive glued it in with rezin

ok thanx guys i got a pot today of flux,ill use it once i have mastered forge welding

Ok well im sorry if im irritating you guys and you think that im wasting your time with my STUPID questions but i trully thought the words Problem solving would be to any question asked if you want i will stop asking questions and ill just look at pics and read the threads.but please explain to me when you talk about my behavior problem?Thanx DM

is there a problem with wanting to know more Steve???

well this place is called problem solving not blacksmith problem sovling besides there are many different threads not on blacksmithing

its not for my forge its for my camping coke can stove i made.im asking whats in Heet because we dont get Heet in New Zealand so i wanna find a similar thing to use,its used to be a fuel when making a pot of coffee hot

yes thats it sorry wrong spelling

oh ok ill try it now

i understand and im just finishing up the small bits and pieces of my forge and ive got a piece of RR line which for some reason is about 4 to 5 inches thick on the top and its my anvil and i just need some scrap metal to practise on and ill be set for a long time

search engines as in google?im just worried about viruses

we use a side feet forge

wow its so nice to somebody thinks my first poker ive made is good.im ganna make a smaller poker with the hole thing as just twists and a curled handle.um if u dont mind can u give me a sort off task or something after the poker project because as ive said before i dont get tought everything i wanna do.

i have put pics onto the gallery just go to Damascus mikes pics

exaclty its only got stuff thats been ticked off

yes i know and with this metal i have a to leave it about 2 to 3 minuters longer than i would think i would.what r the ways of telling if the fire is oxidising too much?

i thought this thread was about alcoline as a flux not lime?
