got my home made forge going today and am fairly pleased with it
. its made out of two iron frying pans bolted together with holes in the top pan and a pipe coming off the bottom to a air bed foot pump. i got the blade glowing a bright yellow colour, hotter than in the pic, not sure how hot that is
lol. i should have done the magnet test. i was softening the blade by heeting it then cooling it slowly. it was almost inposable to work with without an angle grinder and its still cooling down now a cuple of hours later so hopefully it will be workable with a file.
