I Forge Iron

some time at the anvil


Recommended Posts

i got to get in about 3 hrs in at the forge today. being the rookie i am i decided to try some forge welding and practice being consistent and improving as i made the same object over and over. first i spent about an hour making the same drive hook. the first one took about 15 min and the last one about 8 min with considerable improvement in relative quality.

the poker need to be straightend and cleaned up. the info you guys have put on here about forge welding technique has made it pretty easy to weld if you follow the steps every time, thanks.
