Hello all, this is something I’ve always been interested in but never had the time to get started. I wanted to look into a forge that was large enough to produce enough material to cast a decent bar. Everything is metric so a lot of times I’m looking at images and wondering if the forge I’m looking at is tiny or a decent size. I don’t want to waste my time ordering something only to get it and it’s the size of a tin can. So first can anyone recommend a starter forge that I can grow into.
Secondly, I have my old fire gear for safety, consists of fire rated pants jackets, boots, gloves but recommendations for safety equipment would also be appreciated.
