Hello Everyone,
If you can offer some advise it would be much appreciated. I inherited my great great grandfathers anvil and hammers. The hammers are beaten pretty bad but the anvil survived surprisingly well. no divits and the edges are rounded but not chipped. I wanted to teach myself, through videos and smiths i meet, to do some basic blade smithing. I could use some advise in my forging. I wanted to start the same way great great grandpa did with a coal forge. What would work best? An old firepit? What do you think about making my own coal?
also, i don't want to dump too much cash into this to start.(Wife... enuff said) Any suggestions on what type of grinders to invest in?
Thanks,
Mike
