ffffg Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I was going to get the nc wisper momma, and see that the diamondback is liked here and less cost.. Will the blacksmith make longer items like a sword? Would it be a good one to buy for a begginer who can afford it and not want to get another later? I would like to make some tools, knives, hawks. Im intersted in ancient axes, knifes , battle axes and the like to be made out of scrounged steel... Oh, and can i get lean and neutral and rich flame with the diamondback blacksmith? or is even nessesary? thanks, 62 and want a new hobby.. dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyGeorge Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Dave, welcome to IFI. I don't have an answer for ya about the forge. Just wanted to warn ya not to get too close, though. FFFFG is fast ignition :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYBOY Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 We have a diamondback two burner blacksmith model. We like it a lot. Iyt will weld easily and has a nice even heat. You can open the side door and get pretty big pieces in..Seems to be a tough reliable forge.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another option is to build one. you can make about any shape and with a homemade burner you can save a lot of money to spend on a nice anvil. I have a tiny one using two insulating bricks and weld in it all the time. Also a large one with 4 burners and a back door. made from an old propane tank. you could forge entire flagpoles in it if you wanted. Frosty has a burner design that is cheap to build. I bult many and they cost less than $15.00 a piece and burn super hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
