well Not supposed to make fires in my yard...against ordinances even though our yard is just basically a dirt pile.....then the noise some person reported me to the nazi zonming officer...I was happily pounding out steel till about then.I live in a suburban area that borders a forest so...I was thinking about making a primitive forge in thye forest near a river too but im sure not gonna lug the anvil that far as it is 200 pounds...really blows my younger brothers liked to helkp me too (15 yr old 16 yr old and a 19 yr old ...the 19 yr old plays the baGpipes) so yeah kinda bummed >.>

Hello everyone. I am a 20( 21 on the 31st) year old who likes blacksmithing/bladesmithing. local ordinances prevent me from doin my thing.(mentioned above) Are there ANY blacksmiths/bladesmiths in the Lancaster county Pennsylvania area that would be wiling to take me in so I have a place to work?I have my own anvil and one large pair of tongs,a few hammers.I lack a blower and i need more tongs.I also have some mig welding skills and I am also good at making new handles for hammers.I have not been able to make anything since late september and I long to beat on some glowing steel again.Can somebody help me out

Hello everyone!I just finished making a knife out of a railroad spike it took a week to make....rough shaping was done by hammering more refined shaping was done with an angle grinder and a bench sander.Edge was made with an angle grinder,filing ,more bench sanding,sharpening on various Arkansas stones... THIS IS MY FIRST KNIFE I FORGED! I was inspired by the Nepalese kukri.I love the whole shape of this very famous cutting instrument and find it appealing to look at as well.another on is in the works only im making it out of a rather large file.I know this is nothing compared to what some of the other people can do on this forum but this my humble(and very sharp) creation.
