Forge_zpsmxfkomv2.jpg


A productive weekend spent putting this little forge together using a design from the Essential Craftsman on Youtube. Still a top plate to drill and put on, angle iron cut ends to tidy up and the burner to fit once it arrives from ebay but a very handy design. That soft firebrick at the front was just checking fit, a hard one in there now. All it takes in terms of metalwork is a 3m standard length of angle iron, 60cm flat stock, a couple of 1m lengths of M10 threaded bar and some M10 nuts a bit of cutting and 18 holes drilled.
 
You must know the answer to this already:

Can you soften a blade, work on it then harden it again?
eg If I wanted to make elbow adze blades from leaf spring steel?
