New to Forging
« on: October 09, 2018, 04:53:07 pm »
Hi Everyone, I started forging last Dec. I didn't get much done before the Az. heat shut me down for the summer, so far I have only made 5 knives and the more I do the better the knives come out. I don't have much of a shop yet  but I have a 3 burner propane forge and a good anvil and some good hammers and tongs " man this ain't cheap ! "
I tried to post pics but the file is to large oh well maybe next time, Be Safe All.

Welcome aboard!  You might try using Imgur or Flickr to post, or setting your camera to lower resolution(I haven't figured that out yet!). Modern technology, have to ask my granddaughter!  Heat?
It was only 107F when we went through Yuma in June >:D (lol)
