April 19, 201016 yr New to the forum but not new to smithing, a little about myself. Im a Specalist in the US Army currently in Afghanistan, I am from Louisiana and have been smithing for about 4 years before my army career. Recent injury from an IED put me out the fight for a little while. Im currently working on getting the tools needed to start smithing here in Afghanistan, I expect to start doing some metalwork here in about a month when my injury is finally healed. Well thats about it! Its great to be a part of the forum!

April 20, 201016 yr welcome and thanks, have you heard of the lively style forge? it's really cheap and easy to make, from a galvanized pan! I made one just to see if it was good enough, and I was very pleased, I just use charcoal in it and I can do almost anything in it I want to. Size is the only limitation! best wishes and keep your head down brother!
