Canadiandude Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Yodel peoples. I am somewhat (more like fully) a newbie to the whole blacksmithing thing so I'm wondering if I could get some suggestions. Okay stupid question number one..... How does one go about building an easy-to-build forge? something simple you know like you pick this up you put it there and you poke that a few times then stick your chunk of metal in. heating isn't too much of an issue being that my family and I heat our home with woodstoves and that blowtorch-size propain tanks are easy enough to obtain. So my problem is not really heating but rather how to build my forge and what it should be built out of. I don't want it to be electric because for one reason we don't have 24/7 power and that that just adds yet another variable of confusing things to figure out. Another thing is that I need to be quite cost effective being that I'm not working right now. Soooo anyone have an idea? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
