Thanks , Are the blown burners better on fuel and or get up to temp faster than venturi or is is a matter of taste ?

Hi I'm going to be building a new forge. I am not an expert so I am seeking advice on the two forges I am considering. 1. a basic round forge with a venturi burner 2. Vertical forge with ??? burner I won't be using this for heat treating just for the forging process. I would just...

Very nice workmanship.. This is the kind of work that I would love to learn how to do. I picked up a smaller Fisher a couple of monthe ago. I don't have anything to compare it to but I am told they are not as noisy. Be sure to post up the finished piece. Mark

So Fred.. Is that ground out of one piece ?

Hi Wayne thanks for your reply.. I will put a search in for those products. I was just out trying to finish up a blade and I got it done just before the tank cooled. I have my forge outside my garage shop under a shed roof storage are. I was thinking of trying to run a longer hose from the tank...

Man I glad I saw this. I already have a propane forge but I was toying with the idea of getting an old coal set up. Never even thought coal would be an issue.

Looking good Fred. I really like it when a person put's some history on a knife. Make's it less likely to be sold.

I just got into making knives in the past year. All stock removal. But I saved a few bucks up and finally found an anvil. Which is not easy to do around my parts at least without driving all day. I have been doing some reading and asking some questions and I have just finished up my heat treat...

Yes..I can see that would be a problem. Trying to save a few bucks could ruin the scales. And is not something I'm interested in.

I like that idea.. Do they look just like regular pins or I guess corbys after your done finishing ?
