Minimum-median being minimum to median on the quality scale, for cheap equipment. My parent won’t let me talk with them seriously until after Summer Camp this year, so that’s how long I will spend learning and planning

Thank you Frosty, I was trying to figure out an air scale, what is the cheapest ‘blower’ of sorts that I could start with? If a $15 pump is more than enough, I’ll be wanting to go to a minimum-median cheap pricing

I am trying to run as cheap as I can, and I’ve looked into an idea. To save money, I decided I’d come here and ask for help. Would an electric air pump(one around 20 CFM) would produce enough air that, if directed through a tube, would possibly be enough for a hole dug into the ground and called a forge to produce the heat needed quickly. Essentially an electric blower, but instead made of plastic, then using some tubes to connect it into the ground. I’m also not too familiar with a lot of blacksmithing, my experience going as far as a week starting to make a knife, then another week where I did the blacksmithing merit badge for Boy Scouts. My counselor decided to have me also make a coat hook, so I have a coat hook, yeah... I have been watching YouTube videos, and I’m hoping to learn all the various key terms to know for blacksmithing so that, if I do take this hobby up and go well with it, I can help others start
