Ok thank you guys i was asking because it has very straight edges.

ok thank you now i understand but do you know what the big dent on the face of the anvil is? im trying to send some more photos.

yes Rutger von Hauer also comes from Fryslan do you mean the side wher the upsetting block is? because i meant the large dent on top of the anvil.

Sorry for the late reply bit what is sidecutting? I think it makes sense becaus i live in the north where horses where used alot for farming. Anyone remember Zorros horse? He is from this part of the world.

Hi gewoon ik what is the substitute if i may ask?

Thank you swedefille and irondragon. I have already tried forging with charcoal that i made at home (spent a whole afternoon tending a fire)But i didn't like that ut burnt so fast. I would be open to using coal but i can't realy find a way to get it here in the north. And the reason for a gas forge is that its pretty hands of and easily to light and portable because i dont have a shop for forging yet. I do have a shop for general fabrication like welding and a bit of woodwork but i'm not comfortable using it because its in a farm and i don't want ti burn it down:) i already have an anvil as you can see it weighs 190 kg without the heel. Does anyone know what the dent is maybe because of cold sharpening of blades?

Thank you I will.

thank you:)

Hello everyone my name is Ruurd 15 years old from the Fryslân province in the Netherlands. I'm just starting out blacksmithing (having watched blacksmiths videos for a while:) A question for my fellow blacksmiths from the Netherlands. do you know any good places to get gas forge materials like kaowool and refractory cement?
