Glenn Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Go to the opening page of IForgeIron.com and click on the second listing on the left column called *Getting Started.* From there follow the information trail. Or you could go to the opening page of IForgeIron.com and click on the listing on the left column called Lessons in Metalworking > Blacksmithing Or you could go to the opening page of IForgeIron.com and click on the tab called Blueprints at the top of the page. Then click on 100-200 and then click on BP0133 The 55 Forge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferrous Beuler Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Ruinite, If you are just getting started I suggest finding local blacksmiths in your area. Don't worry, they are there and very willing to help you. Go to [ABANA] The Artist Blacksmith's Association of North America, Inc. and click on "affiliates". You will find contact info for the group nearest you. One hour at an abana affiliate meeting will mindboggle you (in a good way) and you will meet some truly fine folks- real blacksmiths.

Glenn Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Or you could go to the new section on IForgeIron > Getting Started > GS0003 Blacksmithing Groups It covers US and many other countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 If you use a *T* the air comes in from the side and the ash fall down into the bottom of the T or into a collection chamber. If you use a 90* or elbow, where does the ash go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
