K thanks I'll definitely call. What about this

Just edited my profile Y’a where I live there just isn’t allot of options. My budgets under $800 What about this. I thought it was a bit big though. It has 1 hp

Hi I’m planning on making a ribbon burner propane forge. My question is if I can use a construction air blower fan like below. I like the speed control. Do you think I should just find something else or go with it? Tried researching I didn’t really help so… if anyone has some advice please share

Hi, need a belt grinder for tool/knife making/ axe wedge making. I’m a beginner and not sure which one I should get? Both r 1/2 hp.

Thanks for all the help full advise I’ll use an old propane cylinder and a make a ribbon burner. Super excited can’t wait.

I like the sound of a ribbon burner

No I have enough tools for making a burner it’s just that a torch was kinda useful in mor than a forge. I’m not timid I live on a farm and I’ve worked with tools all the time just really wanted to start forging knives and other tools. I also live in a cold climate so I was also thinking about having a sfe indoor forge still tryna figure that out. Maybe I should go with coal vs gas? I think I’ll go with gas. The pip I’m planning on using is a pipe with a 8” diameter and 1/2” thick wall, it’s 2.5 ft long. And as I mentioned earlier I’m using castable refractory as insulation.

Hi I’m 15 and I’m going to start knife making and forging. I’m a going to make a horizontal pipe gas forge. I’m using Castable refractory as an insulation. I’ve also decided to use a 100000 btu tiger propane torch as a burner. Is that ok? I also want to know where to put the torch should I put it inline with the forge, or vertical, or on an angle? Thanks for any input!
