Welcome to I Forge Iron. If you go to your control panel and post your location, you may find a smith near you, the world is a big place.

I have little trouble HT larger blades, and have helped others in the past, but depending on where you are shipping may be a killer.

mackenzie you also migt trying to get a larg piece of pipe( 10 iin dia) cut that in half and run a black iron pipe down the middle that has a ton of holes in it and that could be your HT forge if you use coal, then get a piece of pipe that will fit you blade in it. weld a plate to the bottem and fill it with oil. then heat er up and dip er in. a few experianced smiths have told me that and hope you find a way to get it HT.
