Daniel95 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Hi all, I am new to blacksmithing. I have looked at this site as a reference for a while and have decided to sign up. I work out of North Dakota. Like I said, I am a beginner smith and am not so good. I have made a few hooks and leaves, but other than that not much. I have a propane tank forge, along with and improvised anvil, a Menards hammer, and some pliers. I hope I am using this site correctly, because I posted my forge in the "gas forges" tag, but nobody has critiqued it yet. I am mostly here to get wisdom and advice. So thats about it, and if anyone has any advice for this spring chicken that would be great. God Bless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vern509 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Welcome! And some advice I wish I had been given: buy a bigger propane tank! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel95 Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 Thanks! Great advice. I think for now I am going to use charcoal until I get more money to fix up my forge, but when I do I will definetly buy a big tank. God Bless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
