Hey there,
First time poster. I bought a forge at an estate sale, been using it for a few years. I think it was mainly used for farrier work. Anyone recognize this unit?
Also, I'm starting to do more forging and no matter how hard I try, I cannot forge weld mild steel. I have made a couple pattern welded blades with random high carbon steels, but I can't get mild to weld. Seems like the forge isn't hot enough. Should I bag it and buy a better forge or attempt to improve what I have? Or maybe this is a good forge and I have other problems?
Thanks for helping.
