  1. yea sure First fire be careful if you used cement it may explode. Mine did but i was expecting it too, so i stayed back when i didn't have to be near it. When it exploded it just kinda blew off like slate didn't deform the forge. after that i ran it for about a hour and a half with no trouble.
  2. Hey guys i found this site while researching fletching the web. I don't think it has been posted. Primitive Technology, Traditional Skills and Hand-Made Tools I found the article on The Primitive Sauna to be interesting. There are also more interesting things on the site as well. ~enjoy
  3. Hey i had bought this charcoal in order to do a first heat. I was wondering if it is OK to use for when i do forge metal. It does say natural but i was wanting to you all thought.
  4. attaching a funnel at the end of the pipe and using a hairdryer.
  5. OK guys i just built my first forge. I know its simple but I'm new at this, and it was in my means to make. The adobe is still drying in this picture. I just went out and checked it a few minutes ago the adobe is hardening and settling so now there is more room between the adobe walls (witch is what i hoping for).
  6. yea but the guy at the store said every thing was galvanized. I guess he was wrong cause i cant think of why some one would galvanize steel pipe then paint it black.... Thanks for everyone's quick replies.
  7. 1" X 36" Black steel pipe ^ thats whats on the label. Bought it from lowe's
  8. the pipe is going to be use as the Tuyere for the forge. Do you think i still have the strip the galvanized coating?
  9. I was wondering, i bought pipe that was galvanized with what looks to be a coating of black paint can Hydrochloric acid remove the paint and galvanized coating from the pipe? Thanks
  10. A question from knife making unplugged About 40 minutes info the film he puts whats called a counter bend into the knife. What is the reason for the counter bend exactly? He never really explains.

    Hello

    Hello i have been hanging around on the forums learning what i can. I watched, Knife Making Unplugged that was recommend in a post on the forum. That was a very good informational film, really answered most of my questions. Tim Lively makes it look too easy. What i was wondering is, is it really that easy. Since I'm a beginner i was thinking of building this forge to start with. Charcoal Forge. But instead of using a hand blower use a spare hair dryer that i have. The parts i can easily get. I was wondering the knife that he makes is that type knife easy to forge for a beginner? Or do one of you recommend something better? Thanks
