I have been slowly gathering stuff to build my forge but hae found some old lawn mowers. They have been burned and was wondering if it is worth getting the lawn mower blades off the machines. and what they are good things to maek out of them.

Just so everyone knows who to blame, a noobie sent me here. Luken. He is my younger brother. I was up north and stopped to see him today. He showed me his forge. I am 36 years old and been married 9 yrs. I have 6 children. 5 girls and one son. I live in The Great Basin or better know as West Central Utah. The boy and I need an excuse to escape into my shop. I am interested in forging knife blades and other tools. I have been building knives buying already finished blades and doing the handles but that is no longer enough, when i started that I lived in a place I couldn't have a shop. I moved and live in a rural area and have a shop( wife's garage taken over;)) I am also a amateur gunsmith. So this place feels like a natrual place to expand my hobbies. I hope my brother gave me good advice to come here and learn.
