I annealed and shaped my first knife today!
The forge I used was simple but very effective!
It consisted of mud, a dog's bowl, a tin can, and a hair dryer.
I was surprised by how well it worked, actually, in minutes it had heated my misshapen file to cherry red, when I hammered it flat.
I'll upload some pics when i've got a bit more time.
