We've had a muzzleloader board that has been doing fairly well.
I know a lot of us have many hobbies that surround our love of primitive archery and we make our own broadhead and knives from stone and steel.
How would y'all feel about a new board called 'The Forge' where we discuss and show off our forges and blade or point making and discuss the craft of shaping, laminating and treating metals?
Hell I wouldn't be surprised if someone on here forged their own rifle bits.
-
I would be interested in that. It would keep topics more organized and easier to find. The search function on here is terrible.
-
I'd probably check it out. I haven't played with forge yet but I am interested in learning about it.

i'd be there ;D
-
:OK
-
Sounds good to me, I think a lot of us are forging and building knives
-
It would probably keep "the campfire" from getting too crowded! I would be checking it, even though I don't do any forging - yet,

I’m interested for sure! “Get it hot hit it hard!”
-
Yet another hobby I enjoy but do not have time for. Bring it on!
-
That's sounds like a great idea. I've messed with forging a bit but not enough to join a blade forum, so it would be nice to have it on here to be able to ask the basic questions.
-
not able to contribute but interested for sure :OK
-
I would like to see it happen. I like making knives, It would be nice to ask questions, also to see some knives made by others.

If this post gets enough traction I’ll talk to the admins or something and hopefully get the board started. Bc there are some things id like to learn from more experienced people.
My dad works at a foundry and he made me a Damascus flat bar a few years ago and after some filing, grinding, polishing and acid stuff I made my first knife! The handle is African Blackwood and sheep horn. I hit the rivet a little hard and cracked just the surface of the horn so it didn’t compromise anything really. I still have to buff the finIsh but it’s basically done.

Looks good pinecone

That would be interesting to have a steel forging thread.
That's a top shelf knife components and design of a knife too Bryce.
-
I couldn't contribute but I'd love to read it. Go for it
-
Real nice work!

Would be a good one to view. Wife and I watch the History channel, Forged in fire (I think it's called) all the time. I would like to learn how to make strikers for fire starters.
-
I watch that also JEB, man them folks on that show are good. Not much learning or instructions but fun to watch. :)

I’ve seen it a few times some dudes on there have some real talent.
So what ya say? Forge board?
-
I would be interested in this one as well.

Its a primitive skill like any other, I would be very interested. Ive made a few knives but they consisted of ground down files. That's when I learned newer files are case hardened.
