i'm making knives preferably but i may end up doing other things later down the road.
-

thank you i guess i should work on my hammering technique ill get the belt grinder and it would be very educational to talk with someone with more experience well daswulf i have a little bit of hand forging experience but not much

thanks, pnut i have a small amount of experience with belt grinders but have no experience using air hammers

shape out the metal to get it the size and dimensions i need. grind out ruff areas and make the edge. the rotary tool is a dremel 3000. sorry if i'm not very specific.

well i'm planning on being a blacksmith and i'm trying to decide whether i'd rather do all the shaping by hand, or do all the grinding with a rotary tool. both tools would save me a lot of time but i'm on a pretty tight budget.
-
so i,m having a hard time deciding between a belt sander or a air hammer to flatten out the steel. some opinions on which one i should get would be very helpful
-
true but for the moment that's a little more pricey than i'd like.

so i was making my first knife and learned a great lesson if your going to eat lunch don't leave the knife in the fire it will not be usable when you come back
-
i apologize, yes that's what i was meaning. i have found that it works pretty well.

i'm new to blacksmithing as well and i'm currently using an old railroad tie for an anvil, it works quite well actually.

i have been told that normal brick used in a forge will start to disintegrate after so long being used in a forge
