i have made some more and sold all of the railroad spike ones on ebay.

Hello all! I used an old truck rim i welded to fence posts all scrap and free! Then the square pipe for bottom from scrap yard and i used a piece of one inch plate for the klinker. I then got a working blower from a car in junk yard and stuffed it into an old squirell cage i found and attached with dryer hose from walmart. The only thing i paid for was the variable speed switch i got from a tractor supply it was 35 dollars. i lined the inside of the forge with this stuff called black swan furnace cement is good too 3000 degrees. The forge has been holding up well i have made several knives on it and sold them on ebay. But soon i will be building a more permant forge with hood!!

this is where i got idea for sheaths and i improvized from there. pouchsheath

These are my first knives i've made in my forge. I've just started only been doin it about 4 months. Just got my own forge made about a month ago was using cousins. The first two are from railroad spikes the other two are made from spring steel and i have also made the hand crafted leather sheaths. Tell me what u think any advice or opinions is gladly apreciated.

I made my first forge last week. And it works great. Yall will probably laugh at what i made it out of but i spent a total of 35.00 us dollars. Later i will post pictures and description of materials i used.

sry am little new at this

I have yet too find an anvil. Seem hard to come buy these days. But what i have been using is and old die form the aluminum extrusion factory i used too work at. They closed and igot the die for free. Its hards as xxxx. It rings loud enough when u hit to make you want to wear earplugs and it seems to be working just fine. But i am still looking for a good anvil at a reasonable price.
