Welund Smith Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Well the other night I got to thinking So I went out side got this fire as hot as I can get with wood and trash. I went looking for random metal in the yard I found a cut piece off a car radiator I stuck it in there it got red then I start to flatting it on the end of the trailer so the whole place was shaking now the only thing I had was a hammer regular house hammer the end of the trailer and a channel locks to grab the metal, it was doing find until I realized the metal was thin and wired lol So I had to get the grander to cut it the way I was wanting it Well I can say it was a big project with no tools or the right metal but the knife if you what to call it is good for cutting somewhat and I can throw it like a spear Hopefully I will get pics up but I have no camera so :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tech413 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Good for you! You got started and that's the main thing. Now you're gonna be hooked, snatching up all the tools and scrap metal you can get your hands on:D And if you can post pics, it would be great, we all LOVE pictures:) Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 You're infected now, no hope for you. None at all. Next time take a look around for something made of iron or steel. Poke a piece of black pipe into the bottom of the fire and stick a hair drier on the other end. The anvil can be anything, even a trailer frame or smooth boulder though heavier and more solid is better and as long as the hammer has a smooth face it'll work. Not a thing wrong with visegrips, they were invented by a blacksmith who was tired of dropping things from regular tongs. Then while you're getting good and addicted with the "primitive" smithy you can be watching for more conventional smithing equipment and tools. They shouldn't be too hard to find in your area.
