Forge Video

Sorry to all, I somehow deleted the 1st video on building a forge while I was trying to add the 2nd one. Got it all fixed now I hope. Enjoy, this is a great video on building a small forge.

Some of my blogger friends are having a hard time watching the video, with dial-up this can be a pain. Sorry to all. Here is a picture of something close to what I hope to end up with.

Forge and Anvil

Been thinking a lot about building a Forge here on the farm. From what I have read so far, I think this would be a great hobby and a very useful skill to have. I can think of a ton of things that I need to make for myself, and maybe others. Check out the video below for a little info on just how these things work. My plan is to build on similar to the one shown in the video. I want something that I am able to move around and cheap and easy to build. I have never done any steel or iron work but I know that I have enough other skills that I can pick this one up too. I am more than willing to put in the practice required to learn. I will be posting more on the forge project in the near future.
