Hi, I am a 50 y/o newbie.. Just picked up an old anvil and am starting gather parts to build my own forge out of an air tank. I hope to have a blown forge with a ribbon burner by this time next year. Time will tell.

  HEY HEY! I have the forge built and have had some issues connecting the hand blower (on a separate stand) to the fire pot. My forge has to be mobile until I decide if i am going to build a shed for it. I have met with a smith in Skowhegan who is willing to put up with me for the moment and let me learn somethings at his forge so I am going to pound my first metal this weekend!! I am wicked excited!!

  Ok, so ... I am learning... I am now building a coal forge... lol. I have an older Canedy Otto Tiger blower, a fab 1/2 thick firepot with bolt on tuyere, and I hope to have it built by spring. I suspect i will make a propane eventually.
