Have you ever heard that tools like wrenches were Drop Forged?    

No, i have not?

Making knives? Speed vs machining?---You have asked a question that would take thousands of pages to answer in full.  Can you narrow it down?

i guess something along making knives like little projects that i could sell at a craft fair in oder to make a little money but not alot. kinfd of like a side project to make money here and there.

2. what are the pros and cons of gas and coal forges?
3. in your mind what is the pros and cons of the money put into the forges?

Thanks!
