I Forge Iron

Afternoon from Cow Town

I've been wanting to forge knives since I was knee high to a grass hopper. While I was stationed on Pendleton I built my first forge by diggin a hole in the ground and filling it with broken Kingsford charcoal. With the help of my buddies wifes blow dryer I proceeded to melt my first knife when I went to heat treat it. Since then I have learned the magnet test for heat anf successfully did a hamon on my next knife in a 2 brick forge. I am in the brocess of building my first real forge out of a 12" section of 12" diameter  pipe. I keep trying to see if the boss will let me have a piece of 3" thick plate for an anvil. I look forward to learning all I can here and eating crow as little as possible
