evanc922 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I am a neophyte at working metal, though I have always had an interest in the art. I am in the central MD area. I want mainly to learn to make knives, tomahawks, and spear/arrow heads from old scrap steel. A)What's the best way to start off on the right foot? B)Anyone here from MD (especially around Annapolis) that would be willing to help me get started? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its512eric Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Look what I found in MD... for $10 or even $50. It is in mostly good shape and they are not going to be this cheap again. Usually they go for $2, $3 to as much as $8/lb.. Just saying. Two piece anvils are unique.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120640539698&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT And for your fuel question... coal is poisonous, gas explodes. You choose. You can always get another and oposite forge later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 To get started real chunk charcoal is about the easiest fuel to use, easily found and easy to build a suitable forge for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
