I don't want to get into the whole blacksmithing thing. I use Mapp and propane torches to temper metal right now, but that's hard to do if your blade is really wide.Kari Hultmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01224053263659415329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-75639985010398830712010-10-09T11:48:30.876-04:002010-10-09T11:48:30.876-04:00I know nothing about forges or forging, but I was ...I know nothing about forges or forging, but I was wondering what kind of forge you were interested in. Did you want to temper metal only, or impact metal to form shapes, or melt metal for castings or all of the above? Did you want a coal fired forge, a gas fired forge or an electric forge? Just curious. I’ve also heard of cold forging but I know nothing about that either. <br /><br />DeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-62294386740862205842010-10-09T07:35:29.081-04:002010-10-09T07:35:29.081-04:00Backyard forge: Ahhh -- now **there's** anoth...Backyard forge: Ahhh -- now **there's** another slippery slope.<br /><br />I've thought about that -- but that's probably diversifying TOO much. Instead, I'm focusing on convincing my brother-in-law (lives next door; owns three types of welding setups) to take up smithing (free holdfasts!!!).<br /><br /><br />--GGGye Greenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15972251323124084977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-15495649535303823922010-10-09T07:23:16.342-04:002010-10-09T07:23:16.342-04:00Thanks, Vic. :o)

Someone asked him about that and he said that everything is packed in boxes. Must take him a long time to set it up. <br /><br />What I'd really like to have in our backyard is a forge. ; )Kari Hultmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01224053263659415329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-62786481078382556872010-10-08T23:49:07.749-04:002010-10-08T23:49:07.749-04:00You need to build a "display" outbuildin...You need to build a "display" outbuilding in your back yard.

These pictures look not so much like something wanting to share an experience, but more like someone looking to recreate the objects.
