Ivanov Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Hi guys!! I am a beginner, I had taken 2 different classes and enjoyed so much hammering that I am going to buy my first forge. I am looking for a forge to work with coal and a cheap blower. Any suggestions?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Welcome aboard, glad to have ya. Do a little searching and reading in the "Lessons in metal working and Blueprints" sections. The lessons will show you what you're likely to need as well as giving you plenty of exercises to build your skills base. The blueprints section has a number of good designs for forges including hoods to get rid of the smoke. Most can be built with little more than basic tools and scrounging skills.
